Series Thread: Second Round: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Washington Capitals

[Darkstone42]

I do like the Pens' chances if Fleury keeps playing like he did tonight. That sequence late was something else.

Holy crap.

My Pittsburgh winning game two 3-2 was a game early. I went into this figuring that the series would be tied 1-1 and 2-2. With the last three games being the key.

The writing is on the wall now. Caps are controlling play this period. It's only a matter of time before MAF falters.

Good game, Caps.

Apparently, I forgot about the Boniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiino factor.

I think Williams shared the cocaine with him.

 

[BF4L]

Oh sry I am on a delay of about 10 mins. I just saw the Caps getting a huge chance with about 2:50 left in regular time

Keep watching.

And now onto the postgame show where despite playing with more intensity and physical play, we'll hear Mike Milbury criticized Ovechkin and co. about something inane.

First thing out of his mouth was "is this where the Caps crack?" One damn game, he needs to be fired.

 

[BF4L]

Awesome 3rd and that is all I got to watch.

I need to get to bed early, so I'm gonna watch this Crosby interview to fall asleep. Have a good night all.

"So, is there anything different you're seeing in this year's Caps compared to years past?"

Crosby: "Nah, I mean..."




...they still found a way to lose.


Sorry, couldn't resist.

Fantastic result for the Pens! Obviously LMAFO didn't get the memo. I still hate his rebound control and it will cost them at some point, but I figured he'd need to steal one on the road. He's been good enough at home so this was great.

Sheary has been brutal all playoffs, and his blue line turnover led to the tying goal tonight. Brutal. He'll be benched at this rate.

Kunitz is garbage. He flubbed dumpins and couldn't make a pass / win a battle. Brutal.

Kunitz is lamppost. He flubbed dumpins and couldn't make a pass / win a battle. Brutal.

Fixed.

Sheary has been a huge disappointment this postseason. Dudes play fell off a cliff.

Maata is garbage and more damaging than a forward

Don't worry about Sheary...he'll be potting some goals

I didn't see/hear it, but my cousins (Caps fans) are all up in arms about the fact that apparently Doc Emrick said something like "the familiar stunned silence as the Caps leave the ice".

They is don't happy with Doc. If he did say it, that is pretty damn cold (and funny). Doc, buddy; *inside* voice.

 

[scoutyjones2]

He did say it and it was accurate...
