Series Discussion: The less important playoff series' (non-Caps ones) Part the First

[Calicaps]

This is by far the biggest choke in NHL history

Swept in the first round with possibly the best team in NHL history

Record setting everywhere

And I love it. Cocky ****ers

This was never remotely true.

 

[Calicaps]

What makes this TB choke even sweeter are the ex-Rags D-bags on that team. F*** ‘em.

This so very very much.

 

[Raikkonen]

Caps broken Tamponians in their last game. Totally.

 

[Corby78]

I tell you what, whoever survives the Toronto Boston series is in for a rough second round

 

[txpd]

Thanks to Tampa Bay. After that Capitals choking is a lost memory. Good lord.

1994 Detroit Red Wings mchine (Yzerman, Federov, etc) losing to the lowly 8th seed San Jose Sharks is still tops for me.

Last 2 games. Remember the Caps has 60 shots on goal in the 2nd of those games

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Ten more minutes. Get it done, Isles !

 

[Lindemann]

This was never remotely true.

I’m talking points, wins, etc

Tampa gave up after the first one.

On another topic: I have a old, deep, and abiding hatred for the Isles, and am therefore not able to enjoy the Pitt-NYI the way I deserve. Their success is bumming me out in spite of the Pens losing.

My old hatred has faded. They had their trip to the abyss. It's about the same with the Flyers. Back in the first half of the 80s, Flyers and Isles were the biggest enemy teams. Pens overtook both of them, at least for me. It always feels a bit odd but I can root for both of them over the Pens.

lots of folks, including a lot of hf posters, think those are the same thing.

They certainly broke Hedman.

I still always want them all to lose.

Yeah . Hence the, "Can TBay go 16-0 in the playoffs ?" thread . Lol .

Jeeze... forgot about that. That may still be the high water mark of Sharks hockey tbh.

There's no way Tampa is not tying this up

I need you to write "There's no way Pittsburgh is not tying this up"

better yet, there is no way the caps aren't winning the cup

After the Pens I used to hate the Flyers most. But Tampa is now offically #2 for me (expansion team that won a Cup before us, swept us in humiliating fashion in 2011, + their flip flop wearing, muscle car driving fans).

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

6 more minutes . Go Trotz turtle!

 

[Lindemann]

Man if we advance, we are gonna be in for a rough ride with the remaining teams if we don’t change our play IMO

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Pgh is being so thoroughly outplayed. Aisles gotta convert on one of their chances to avoid the lucky bounce or PPG tying this up.

(Yeah, I don't care if the Aisles sweep and get to rest a few extra days. Prefer to see Pgh get swept.)

Like txpd said, our failures pale in comparison to Tampa Bay on this night. I'm trying to compare it to our failures and I can't find a connection. Losing back to back years to Pittsburgh after winning the President's trophy is bad, but they've lost 6 straight playoff games and had a historic team this season in the regular season. Naturally, if Tampa comes back next year and wins the Cup I'm sure their demons will be released but it is going to be a LONG summer for everyone involved with the Bolts.

 

[shtorm2005]

What's common with Tampa, Pens and Caps?

Yep, but they'll always have 2004 .

Can't be any rougher than last year.
