It might finally happen. We might finally see all non traditional market Stanley Cup Finals.

My goodness.

 

[God King Fudge]

Apparently lots of Caps fans feel like since they finally got past Pittsburgh they deserve something else. Lol

 

[AndreRoy]

FFS. Tampa doesnt deserve to have a lead in the series.

Give us a break.

We’ve outscored the Caps in more games than they’ve outscored us. I’m pretty sure that means we deserve to have a lead in the series.

I'm just glad to see the Crapitals get their comeuppance. But I kind of don't want Tampa to win because I'd like to see Vegas or Winnipeg take it.

People are going to rag on Orlov but Carlson was Mr. Unclutch the last three games.

OV scored that big goal to get them close but then he just kept passing the puck and staying out of scoring areas. Kuznetsov was even worse. What happened to those two at the end? You have to take charge, you have an extra guy with less than two minutes left. I know Carlson screwed up but their go-to players weren't involved in that last minute.

I wonder what our record is in games where Paquette scores a goal.

you've been more opportunistic than the caps for sure, that being said, you are out classed 5v5. straight up murder

after the 3-0 goal, you guys were outshot 26-7, IN YOUR BUILDING

 

[UncleBonsai]

Hurts that the Caps have outplayed the Lightning in essentially all bout 2 periods or so, but trail the series 3-2. That's hockey. That's life as a Caps fan.

f*** it.

 

[troyerlaw]

sorry cap fans but is OFFICIAL Carlson ABSOLUTELY SUCKS! ruined it for you guys

Yah but we also wouldnt even be IN the 3rd round without him. Anyway, he is going to get paid this summer. Someone will give him $8 mil per for 8. As much as like him, i hope it’s not us

Series talk open.
