Valriera

There will be no shame losing to Carolina in a tough series, or any of the next three teams up. The rest of the way is ridiculously tough this year. But we are just as capable of winning as any of them are, so gotta outwork and be physical to earn our ticket. This is why the sweep here may be the advantage that snowballs for us. The extra rest is so clutch

Great series. You can only beat the team in front of you and we did just that. Now the team needs to enjoy the rest and hope Carolina gets beat up more by the isles.

Took the only advantage we had and swept the worst team in the playoffs. That’s step one right there. Enjoy the rest now

Vesey again with that soft bullshit play in our zone. I’d rather see Rempe there if he’s just gonna do that shit. Trying to lose the game.

Brain dead play. Just fucking make an easy pass or off the glass

Clutch on the powerplay

This is where the whole thing we did in the regular season would be useful, where we found ways to win games of all kinds including ones we didn’t necessarily earn. We earned the first three, I’d be satisfied with the last one a little lucky

Not even lack of execution, just lazy plays all around the ice. Lazy, lazy, lazy.

They will not survive a period like this if they make it to the next round

Right? What the actual fuck is that

Caps are playing their best hockey of the series tonight and we are playing regular season hockey. Maybe the team is guilty of looking ahead a bit too much. There’s still time to wake up tonight and play a good period

Nice play but that’s a bad change by no surprise 93 and 20

I still have no idea who Washington is booing

That’s Washington’s best period of the series marred by gooning about…a clear tripping penalty?? Like of all the things that’s the one? This going after a guy after a goal too is the epitome of rat shit. I have no problem with the elbow to cuylle a few games ago. Ok he got you in the beans, you can give him a shot, fair is fair. But what the hell is this bs lol

Should be slightly more challenging as I think Washington is getting a couple D back, will be an interesting one

No reason we can’t sweep them but also you’d have to imagine the caps get one at home. Still, would love to take care of business here and go home

To be fair to the Leafs, they had plenty of chances and the post stopped them from tying it last night. On top of that, Marchand is having the most ridiculous series I’ve ever seen him play. Actually I don’t know where I was going there, fuck those guys

We also get called for decking guys in front too to be fair

This is a gift game because we are not playing up to Washington’s level tonight but that doesn’t matter I’ll take the win if we can get there

We are barely trying this period and still no life. Getting outworked

That’s another soft fucking call. It’s bullshit

We are crushing this team on the powerplay, shorthand, and 5v5.

Trochek a viable conn smythe candidate right now.

4 penalties halfway through the game is not a recipe for success

Just ban tall players with arms then, idk. Ban body checking. What’s he supposed to do in the playoffs? Not hit him? Arms were down elbows down it’s as clean as they come. Maybe a bit late if we’re nitpicking.
