April 18, 20187 yr Funny how you see this in hockey a lot. I thought the Caps overall outplayed Columbus in games 1 and 2 but lost. Tonight, I thought Columbus outplayed the Caps and the Caps won.
April 18, 20187 yr Jets heading back home up 3-1, still sticking with Jets in 5. It would give some additional time for Perreault and Myers to heal up. Nice Shut out for Hellebuyck and being named Vezina finalist, but in the end I think Rinne gets it.
April 18, 20187 yr Flower with his second shutout this playoff. Moves to 9th all time. 2 back from 10th all time in playoff wins.

I watched that game last night and he was unreal. Im bandwagoning the devils a bit since they have two dudes from Plano. My memory might be a bit foggy but I think Edmonton had loaded up on forwards with all the high draft picks they had after being terrible for about ten years. They had tons of forwards in their system but not much in the way of defensemen. I can't remember who Hall was traded for but I'm pretty what they saw as a defenseman with a high ceiling was the focal point of what they got in return. BTW why in the hell is there a hockey double header on The Golf Channel tonight? I get USA not wanting to fuck with Raw or Smackdown but what programming is so precious to them on Wednesday night that they can't put these games over there.

April 21, 20187 yr Jets get a week off, Nashville has to go to game 6. Great nightThey had no right to win that game anyway. That was a fucking kick

April 22, 20187 yr I only saw part of the third period, but Philly's power play looked like dog shit. Pens gave them every chance in the world before pulling away.
April 23, 20187 yr That Philly crowd had to be furious. They had anything going their way today. Killing that two-man Philly advantage was the key today because I sure didn't want to see a game 7.

April 23, 20187 yr Sort of how the Flyers played defense late in yesterday's game. Edited April 23, 20187 yr by PittsburghTiger
April 24, 20187 yr Toronto looks to be taking their series to game 7. After going 0-2, I was sure the Caps were done a series earlier than usual. If they can hold a 2 goal lead for another 9 minutes, they'll face the Penguins without having to play a game 7/
April 24, 20187 yr The Caps haven’t beaten the Pens in the playoffs in like 25 years, so maybe they’re due?

April 24, 20187 yr 1 minute ago, PittsburghTiger said: My favorite has always been the scarf wearing Penguin. It's always funny when animal mascots wear clothes of some sort. The Penguin on ice skates with a hockey stick did it for me as a kid. That's why as a native Houstonian, I was excited when the Penguins won the Stanley Cup in 1991. I mean as a 7 year old, what is cooler than a Penguin skating around with a hockey stick?

April 26, 20187 yr Exact wrong start for the Pens. That early goal let’s the caps settle in and build confidence.

April 27, 20187 yr After these many series with the Capitals, I feel secure in saying that Washington DC is the "Pittsburgh South" of ice hockey. Prove me wrong.
April 28, 20187 yr Solid win for the jets. Hellebucyk could carry the team if he keeps playing like that. Like Hasek did for the Czechs in the 98 olympics
April 29, 20187 yr An ugly one to win this. Wrong. That was kinda nice. Edit 2. Ain't over yet Edited April 29, 20187 yr by cactusflinthead
