Ducks CAN play a speed game for short periods of time. But I don't think any team can match Edmonton's total team speed.
It's going to be an interesting 3rd period. Who ever is worn down least will win this game.
And don't the refs still owe the Oilers a power play.....?

Ducks win a game 7. But ya gotta credit Edmonton big time. They will be a force to deal with for the next 10 years.

I wonder if Washington is looking at elimination being like.. "if only we had Filip Forsberg"
They should be thinking, "maybe we should have went wIth Malkin back in 2004"

So Anaheim finally won a game 7. Huh.
I'm thinking a Preds-Pens final would be pretty fun to watch.

If that happened Pittsburgh would have selected Ovechkin, imagine Crosby and Ovechkin together? Malkin and Filip Forsberg together?
What a difference the NHL would be. Ovechkin would have his ring and name on the cup

Does it put "Russians cant win the big one" back on the table? I remember that knock on Federov for 6-7 years and he was ripped every time the Red Wings lost in the playoffs. Will that be Ovechkin's stigma to carry?

It probably does in the sense that it'll be a talking point. It shouldn't, in the sense that it's nonsense.
Also, didn't Fedorov win three cups?

Unpopular opinion time
Not ovechkin a fault, caps aren't strong enough down the middle or on the back end, agree with Slavs that building around ovie was a mistake but not because he doesn't have a heart as cold and focused as a Russian winter but because you don't build around freaking wingers
Centers control play, defense stops them from controlling play, wingers capitalize on the opportunities the other 2 groups create
also Getzlaf averaging almost 24 minutes a night, what a beast

Eh. I think the Trotz era capitals have gotten screwed the hardest in the newest playoff format, especially the last two years.
I think we would have seen, at minimum, conference finals appearances the last two years for Washington under the old system.
President Trophy winning squad shouldn't play an 104 and 111 point squads in the 2nd round, which they have the last two years.
This years team for Washington was good enough to go deep. The problem is, Pittsburgh simply has a squad team built to essentially beat them. A fast skating team that can counter punch their insane possession numbers. They play any other team in the eastern conference, it would have been a blood bath.
