As amazing as it would be to see the Caps choke again, I think they take it in 6. Another first round bounce for the CBJ

[phillyb]

Ugh, I have WSH going to the Conference Final playing BOS in my bracket...so WSH in 6 here, but yeah...

I wanna watch Ovi choke; it's a perennial hobby of mine, so I will definitely be rooting against my bracket in this series.

Fuck Ovi.

Fuck the goalie situation in WSH.

Fuck the Caps.

Just fuck em.

[Morphinity 2.0]

Capitals in 6. It's meant to be that they meet the Penguins in the 2nd round. Nothing will stop that from happening.

[phillyb]

Yeah, except I can really see Philly pulling through and eliminating the Sydney Crybabys.

[paddynyc]

Make or break for both coaches the loser is out of a job

[Stephen]

Capitals in 6. It's meant to be that they meet the Penguins in the 2nd round. Nothing will stop that from happening.

 

And not to mention the capitals haven't beat the Pens since 1994 and never made it past the 2nd round since 1998

[Stephen]

Nick Foligno is injured and has been sent to the Locker Room, CBJ are without two forwards meaning they lost two-thirds of their third line

[AliveIn94]

Anyone wondering about who we should draft, check Panarin a moment ago.

ratchet the pressure on the caps another few notches after the ot loss

[Abe Froman]

Hell of a shot.

[Vodka Drunkenski]

Another starting goalie that I didn't know lost his job coming into the playoffs.

[phillyb]

Yep. I had Grubauer on fantasy at one point...don't remember why I dropped him though. Grubauer has been playing quite well and definitely displaced Holtby, for now. I think he gets the nod in game 2, but if the Caps lose that one too, we might see Holtby.

[Mike]

Jackets pp is good. They do everything effectively. They move the puck well, good motion, always in position, and they find all the open seams.

No quit in them either, as expected with JT. Down by 2 in game 1, won in OT. Down by 2 tonight twice, now up 4-3 end 2.

[phillyb]

Yeah, shit. I went to go help jack with some computer shit when it was 3-1 Caps. I look back at the TV ~20 minutes later, it's intermission and CBJ has the lead. Wow.

[Pete]

That can't be. He can't coach offense.

[Mike]

That can't be. He can't coach offense.

 

Hahaha

[Mike]

Bobrovsky is making some dazzlers tonight.

[Mike]

Bad call on Jackets with a little over 7 to go.

[phillyb]

And again with 1:59 to go. To OT we go.

[Mike]

And again with 1:59 to go. To OT we go.

 

That was a sweet ppg

[phillyb]

Really hope CBJ comes through here. Fuck the caps.

[AliveIn94]

What a game, what power play time lol, so many dumb penalties lol.

Another year, another playoffs choke job by WAS. Sweet...

[Stephen]

CBJ needs to win with hard work and enthusiasm and to add to WAS' legacy of choking
