April 29, 20187 yr Well the preds scored quick. Still hopeful for the series, and for that matter this game
April 30, 20187 yr That diving stop by Kyle Conner was so badass. The NHL needs to fix their stupid seeding so teams like these don’t meet in the conference semis.
May 1, 20187 yr Hertl just went beast mode. I don’t like the Sharks but I’ve always respected his game.
May 2, 20187 yr Head shots are legal now? Caps with another head shot. Draws blood. No penalty. Edited May 2, 20187 yr by PittsburghTiger
May 2, 20187 yr Holy shit Caps! penguins were cycling the hell out of them and they breakout with a 2-1 and oveckin cans it.

May 2, 20187 yr Clear head shot is a stretch in my mind. Wilson at 6'4" is a full head taller. Looks to me like it was the shoulder but I'll admit I'm biased. Aside from that, totally different result than we're used to seeing out of the Caps. Ovechkin actually did something memorable at the end of playoff game against the Pens.

May 2, 20187 yr Winnipeg might have the best home field advantage in any sport I’ve ever seen. What a scene.
May 2, 20187 yr J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets Winnipeg all the way. Vegas would be a good story, but Winnipeg would be better. Would love to see them beat the Caps in the Stanley Cup finals. No Boston or Pittsburgh.

Had some friends at the game, they said the only time it has been that loud was the first game back in Winnipeg in 2011. Probably louder last night.

Was he going for a big hit? Of course he was. The injury is unfortunate but I’ll be surprised if he’s suspended.
May 3, 20187 yr Wilson gets three games. Appropriate, imo, considering his cunt like tendencies. Shocked it was more than 1 game. But hes had 2 iffy head shots before this already in the playoffs, and he’s been suspended twice already this season. Yinz saying it was mostly shoulder contact are just looking at the cross ice shot and 1, ignoring the other angles and 2, ignoring that Wilson is a cunt that does this type of shit all the time.

May 3, 20187 yr Pens are Stanley Cup winners and when their coach/front office starts complaining the league listened. 3 games is extreme. It’s also big considering Wilson has had 7 assists in the playoffs. Whatever, Penguins will have to play better if they want to win. Other than about 6 minutes in game 1 the Caps seem to want this more.
May 3, 20187 yr Three games would be extreme if it was Carlson or Backstrom that did it. The league disciplinary office is plenty familiar with Wilson. He got a suspension either at the very start of this season or the very start of last season for a pre-season hit. This was the Kadri/Marchant, Jesus Christ this guy again reaction from the league office.
May 3, 20187 yr I'm hoping Nashville gets their shit together. If they can I think there is a very good chance all four series in the second round could go seven games.

This was the Kadri/Marchant, Jesus Christ this guy again reaction from the league office. It was twice this season. In the preseason he got 2 games for a hit on a rookie. That suspension made him a repeat offender. Then he got suspended again for a hit in the first regular season game that day him 4 more games.

How the fuck do you give up 3 odd man rushes in the last 5 mins of a tied playoff game? Granted the last one that won the game was sprung by a trip by who other than Tom Wilson, but Christ, you can’t let yourself get in that position.
May 4, 20187 yr I can't say Trotz cost Washington the game but he sure as hell did not help them try to win it in the third period. You're down one goal with under five minutes to play and you have your 3rd and 4th lines out there with Ovechkin, Backstrom, Oshie, and the other Russian with the unspellable last name that begins with K on the bench. Then you leave Holtby in net until there is about 1:20 left when there were two instances in the minute before where Washington had control of the puck in the Pittsburgh zone. Terrible coaching.
May 4, 20187 yr The last two games in Pittsburgh have been incredible. What a game tonight was! Pens definitely earned that one.
May 5, 20187 yr Author I want Boston to lose all games in all sports all the time...but Pastrnak goal tonight was sweet. Waiting for the pop-up puck to land and smacking it in at the perfect time, with a defender also swatting at it. So many rec leaguers try that every night and whiff
May 5, 20187 yr Unreal how good this expansion team is. They have a 6th sense for where their teammates will be in almost any situation.

May 6, 20187 yr As a caps fan, I really hope they can finish it in 6. As a sports fan, this series has been fantastic and deserves to go to a game 7. The best thing about this outcome is that Tom Wilson will be back in a game 7 or in the opening game of the conference finals.
May 6, 20187 yr If it goes to 7 the caps will lose in the most spectacular fashion. Edited May 6, 20187 yr by Firemans4Horn
