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

[apachef4]

Some of us have confidence! I think the Caps go and get that win tonight.

Also, the Pens are most definitely a bad guy team. They wear black and employed Matt Cooke the longest.

And the good guys always lose in the middle of the story and look like they are beaten towards the end, only to discover they find a way to win in a dramatic conclusion. Time to slay that dragon.

LOL! I don't think anyone here would question your confidence, eloco!

Those dam Canucks are the bad guys! The Sedin twins always seen shady to me.

Going out on a limb here but the team who scores the most goals tonight will be playing Ottawa in a few days.

Alternative facts...It will be Pittsburgh playing Ottawa

No pressure on Pitt...Caps have all the pressure but seemed to be free wheeling and dealing last game. Could be another blow out if it carries over to this game.

In Fleury I trust!

Lets go Pens!

No pressure on Pitt? Blowing a 3-1 series lead sounds like pressure to me. I would know.

Not when you have a cup or 3 in the bank...that you wouldn't know...

Yeah listening to the callers on the radio Caps fans are way too optimistic. Not me. These are the Champs, they know how to win these types of games. It is as if the Washington fans expect the same game to occur tonight that we saw in Game 6. Didn't Edmonton show us that a different night can mean totally different results?

I agree that the pressure is still on the Caps to get over this hump, Pens already have rings, they are playing with house money.

Yes, yes they are

Well, it's Game 7 for the Caps...again.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

Yes, yes they are

Fuck you. Who are you guys playing tonight? Oh yeah, that's right.....

Golf season was delayed a couple weeks. Fine by me.

Relax man. You will enjoy watching hockey once your team is out, oh wait, I don't have to tell you that

As a neutral observer, I want the Caps to prevail tonight mainly for the health and well-being of Caps fans. Also, I'm a little tired of the narrative that OV disappears in the playoffs.

A little early and before the all-important (sarc) trade deadline, but I am calling the Cup for the long-suffering fans of the Caps.

Solid Goalie and Dmen, 4 good forward lines, this team is solid top to bottom.

Sure, play the games out, but when the ice chips settle in late June, the Cup will be handed to Alexander the Great.

You are forgiven. I gave my heart to the Cubs fans years ago, always wanted them to finally win it all. I root for the Cleveland Browns just because of their fans. Years ago I was all in for the Saints for the same reason, I'm old enough to remember when they were a joke for 2 generations.

Now it's my fucking turn.

I don't know how to evaluate Ovi. I've been down on him, isn't a star supposed to carry a team in the post season at least once in a while? Then I heard he has more points per playoff game than anyone else that is playing, I find it hard to believe but that's what I heard. Then I see them go down 3-1 and I say "thanks Ovi for that first period goal. Where the fuck were you when the game was on the line?". Then I see him score a huge late goal, then a graphic that said he had way more points than playoff games played against the Pens.

Depending on how the game goes tonight, they might be more thinking of this part:

May we safely assume you're 100% behind the Lions?

I would die laughing if Phil Kessel uttered that line during an interview with Pierre.
