Nice job by the Caps.

 

[SI90]

Hope to see you round two!

I’ll gladly take it! Would be awesome for us to win a round lol you guys obviously have greater expectations

 

[Calicaps]

So it's gonna be Carolina.

Not for sure yet, I don't think. But I hope so.

 

[Braun]

Habs fan here....I’m sad we lost but was expecting us to finish in the basement. We’ve have a good run. That being said, ol’ Be cheering for you guys in the PO’s. I love Ovie.

 

[Raikkonen]

Yeah, Justin Williams is caring about Tex buying some tickets for round 1.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Dowd is one solid pickup under the radar this year. I like it.

 

[TRASHCAT]

whoops 104 vs 105. Might win saturday though so

 

[Sam Spade]

Montreal playing for their lives but ultimately it was out of their hands with the Pens winning. A better team would probably have been able to take advantage of Caps' sloppiness, but our guys did enough to get the two points, and from one angle, that's what matters.

Pens winning doesn't affect Habs at all. Habs can actually still make it if the Jackets lose their last two games and the Habs beat the Leafs on Saturday.

 

[Viqsi]

HFCBJ wishes to formally extend our sincere congratulations for winning the division this year, and our most heartfelt thanks for keeping the Habs that much further away from threatening our postseason plans. Good luck in the postseason... unless it's against us, of course.

 

[txpd]

Hope to see you round two!

Yea, but....you know

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Metro Champions!

 

[hockeykicker]

so caps will play either jackets, penguins or hurricanes

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Isles Fan coming in peace. Congratulations on winning the division

Assuming the Caps take it easy on Saturday and rest a few vets, you guys should have home ice v. the Pens. Hope that helps!

From your lips to gods ears.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Hell well let you win just let ovi score a goal or two

A lot of us remember and the lectures, lol.

Would be a fun main board thread wouldn’t it? Tempting.

Before tonight, Pens were 3 pts ahead of Habs and both teams had 2 games remaining, so Pens winning did affect Montreal since at least according to my math, Habs could have surpassed Pens in total points. Otherwise, Pens winning did not mean Montreal is eliminated.

 

[txpd]

The defense looked pretty well rounded to me. I was interested to see that with the empty net Reirden chose Niskanen and Orpik and then Carlson and Orlov. He started the one pk with Niskanen and Carlson. Certainly some gears are turning

Ok, it does affect them, it just doesn't knock them out, which is what I thought the poster meant.

Well I remember saying it might finally hasten the departure of Oates and McPhee and enable a turnaround. And it did. First year in the Metro the Caps missed the playoffs and those guys were done.

Yeah, idk why I thought the Habs were out of it.

 

[Sam Spade]

Apropos of nothing but I watched the Habs/Bolts game on Tuesday and the Habs completely dominated the Bolts in that game.

I am really proud of the Caps for stepping up against a truly desperate team.

 

[RandyHolt]

Holts stonewalled early....

I am convinced giving up an early goal is the key to losing playoff games.

That season missing the playoffs payed big dividends in the long run.
