playoffs: 2016-17 ECSF | Washington Capitals (M1) v. Pittsburgh Penguins (M2)

[Myusername]

6-1 against the top two teams in the East so far, and winning most of the games without breaking a sweat.

 

I almost wish we went through them first. We lose, we lose, but if we somehow did manage to get past them I don't see us not winning the cup after that confidence booster.

NHL Golden Child Sidney Crosby just left the game after a hit to the head by Matt Niskanen.

 

Automatic suspension yea? :cool:

5 minute major and a game misconduct. Crosby ran into him. Bad call.

[phillyb]

Terrible call.

Wonder what Sid's injury is like...bet he plays the second.

He shouldn't have been ejected. No way is that a suspension.

[phillyb]

NBCSN crew thinks it was reactionary by Niskanen, but they also agree with the call.

 

ANYWAY...win win if Crosby's out and Ovechkin still loses. lol

[Phil]

Looked reactionary to me.

I'm not disagreeing with you I was poking fun at the fact that its Crosby. The same guy who's crosschecked someone in the face and stayed in the game.

They penalize for the injury. Crosby out? Niskanen out too.

 

So fucking stupid.

I know what you meant. Lol

[Ba Ba Bluey]

Unreal.

[Mike]

Hahahaha

[Parsley]

Fuck both these teams.

[Phil]

Caps needed to win this. They need game four, too. This series must go seven grueling games.

I went to twitter for an update on Crosby's injury...and came back with memes

That call was such a disgusting crosby love fest it's hard to watch. Makes me sick. That type of play happens every single game, Crosby just happened to run into the guy's stick. There wasn't enough time for him to actually hit Crosby like that if he even wanted to. It 100% was not a game misconduct and I would go so far to say I don't even think it was a penalty, just an unfortunate play. Hate to see a guy get injured but if he does get injured that doesn't mean it's a penalty. Makes me sick.

2:00 to Ovi for the slash/trip

2:00 to Sid for embellishing

 

lol

[Patrick Bateman]

Per the Pens twitter the official diagnosis on Sid is a concussion

 

Really feel bad for him

Geez forget the Caps chance, here is the Rangers chance if they can get through this round, and potentially play the ECF vs a Sid-less Pens.

[SaveByRichter35]

Posted something on Facebook about the play about laughing at Sid and how Karma is a bitch. Penguin fan coworker got all pissy. Fuck off.

Still think NYR wouldn't stand a chance against a Crosby less PIT. When he's out, Malkin goes into Super Beast Mode.

[Morphinity 2.0]

That fucking blows. This is, what, his 4th concussion now? Gotta start thinking about life after hockey...

[Karan]

ooof

 

Wow that's huge. Could be a series changer. I highly doubt PIT will rush Crosby back even if they have a sure shot at the Cup, with his concussion history. The next one could be the end of his career...
