Brutal way to lose for the Caps

washington not so tough when playing teams that aren't the habs

Their season was almost entirely fueled by the Ovechkin milestone chase.

Is that how Oilers fans felt game 7? What an awful series clinching goal JFC

 

[batting1k]

Man, what a dominant 4 game series

Reinhart walked in in good shooting position. Svechnikov just fired a trashcan from the wall and Thompson deepthroated it.

Ovechkin's piss test would make Ekblad's look like the gold standard of a clean pass. And even then, the guy does nothing but sit in the dot and jerk off until the puck gets to him.

I saw Gretzky play in his next to last season when his body was a f***ing absolute wreck, during a time when orthopedic medicine was still caveman shit by comparison to what they get today.

Ovechkin couldn't have held his f***ing jock.

Caps always felt a bit fraud-y to me this year. They were painfully mediocre last season, it felt a bit lucky to jump up to the top of the eastern conference in one year. They feel like a prime candidate for regression.

Canes fanbase was bad here a couple years ago but they're more palatable than Leafs/Oilers. But they've lost 16 straight conference final games and I want that to continue.

edit-my mainboard post saying Sam Bennett's incoming elbow to Freddy Andersen would cause him to spontaneously combust lasted 3 seconds so I do not think main boards will be any better next round should Florida win.

Carolina tries to play the same game as the Panthers. Strong forecheck, dmen pinching, low scoring games, etc.

Cats need to destroy Toronto tomorrow and get ready for another battle.

Don't kid yourself, the Canes fanbase on HFBoards is a bunch of crayon eaters, too. You just don't notice it as much because they all got banned from this board before we even had our finals run.

Huh? I was told the Canes did not get swept

 

[Gentle Man]

Freshly inked Logan Thompson

How are the Devils doing, btw?

Any time you ever ask yourself "Why would Paul Maurice quit on Winnipeg and forfeit the remainder of his contract?" just watch this group in a game that matters. Braindead morons.

Wishing injury is a non starter, no surprise there.

I think Canes will win the cup

Nah. West is just better this year. I think that barring some fluke luck, winner of Dallas/Edmonton gets it.

There is only one correct answer.

As long as we knock out Toronto, I'm gonna be happy. It's been a fun season and another good run.

I think we beat dallas

Edmonton beats us

Carolina beats Edmonton

Dallas beats Carolina

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

if Canes face Edmonton, they will get dumpstered in 5 games and you can take that to the bank.

 

[Chaos2k7]

I don't see the Canes having the offense to go any further than they have.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I like what Dallas is doing tonight, but that bounce off of a D that resulted in the only goal is probably gonna be the difference tonight. Just shit luck.
