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

[Darkstone42]

Look on the bright side. If you were walking around with a hockey sweater on in Tucson, this time of year, folks would just think you are batsh*t crazy and leave you alone.

I haven't had a haircut or shaved my beard in about 9 months. I'm covered on that front.

Yeah my feelings on Oates are still heavily altered due to his time as head coach here....

Also, this:

Cmon, Gotta have some fun with this................

Don't worry we will pull out our old 66 or 68 jerseys. At least they won cups.

So my 44 Rob Brown jersey is no good.

Stat of the Day:
The Caps have held the Pens to less than 25 shots in 4 of the 5 games in this series. That happened zero times against the Blue Jackets and only once in their 2016 playoff run (29 games in total).

Great series. No idea who is going to emerge.

Fair to say that scouty believes the Penguins will march on?

He's been known to be wrong before.

Interesting to see what Sullivan does with his lineup. I'd argue that the current lines and pairings favor the Caps, but the Pens are about to be on home ice and can dictate who plays against who better. OV-Eller-Wilson seems kinda reminiscent of HBK; a skilled winger with two "grinders" creating space.

Just so we're all clear here as to why the caps won:



Genuine. Still worked as a jinx. 1-0



Reverse Jinx, back to normal. 1-1



Genuine again, but it worked. Look I don't make the rules. 2-1



Indeed.



Good ol' classic jinx. 3-1



Good ol' reversal jinx. 3-2.



Well it brought you within one jinx.


Aww man, rookie mistake. You gotta know that a series ending jinx is more valuable than a series extending jinx.


3-2 Final.


Series 3-2.



Coincidence? I think not.

Caps in 7 confirmed.

You have forced me to do this. You have only yourself to blame.


Pens win game 6. BOOK IT!!

Jokes on you. Caps are going to use their Win in the Bank from their President's Trophy.

 

[scoutyjones2]

He's been known to be wrong before.

And will be again...just not this time!

 

[skinzfan]

Caps will never win anything. If they had a roster of all-stars, they'd lose. It's the way it is, accept it.

Why would guarantee the Caps a win in game 6 by saying "Book It?"

Thanks, beme!

Pens D-man Daley out of Game 6 with injury

No Daley...will be see Streit or will they do what I expect and play Ruhwedel.
