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. 11 hours ago, Firemans4Horn said: If it goes to 7 the caps will lose in the most spectacular fashion. As much as I would like to see another spectacular Capitals crash I just think this season they are the better team. Penguins had more than enough chances, but couldn't get it done. It will be a very interesting Game 6.
May 7, 20187 yr Vegas moves on with another shutout from Fleury. 4th of this post season. 3 more puts him in 3rd all time in playoff shutouts behind Brodeur and Roy.

Both teams have had stretches where they look like the better team. Holtby has been rock solid. Murray has been less than that. It’s going to take him tightening things up a bit or Holtby finally cracking to swing things for the pens. Both of those things are quite possible, but looking unlikely right now. Hopefully a win tonight can put some doubt into the caps mind for game 7.

Wish the Pens held on to him. I know at the time Murray was outplaying him. But goodness, Fleury has rounded into form in Las Vegas.
May 8, 20187 yr Now that they finally made it past the pens I wouldn’t be surprised to see them storm through the rest of the postseason. Or get swept out in embarassing fashion.
May 8, 20187 yr Can’t decide if I want to root for the jets or Vegas the rest of the way. Would enjoy seeing either team win it.
May 8, 20187 yr I really wanted the Penguins to be the first team to three-peat during the salary cap era in the NHL. But as mentioned before, they weren't nearly the team that they were the previous two seasons. Oh well.
May 8, 20187 yr 8-2 since making the change back to Holtby. It’s crazy to think now that he wasn’t the starter the first two postseason games, but damn he is playing lights out at the right time.
May 8, 20187 yr Ovi finally gets by Crosby in the playoffs and the Caps play in the conference finals for the first time in 20 years. The Bolts will be tough and I’m not sure anyone beats Vegas (edit: number of years. It only feels like 30) Edited May 8, 20187 yr by Pig Bellmont
May 8, 20187 yr I'm just glad the last four (or five) are all decent teams that aren't the Kings/Bruins/Blackhawks/Penguins. Any of them I'd be happy with winning the cup.
May 8, 20187 yr I'm thinking about trying to catch a Knights game next series in Vegas (easy trip from Phx).
May 8, 20187 yr https://twitter.com/recordsandradio/status/993676901842608128?s=21 This is pretty great
May 8, 20187 yr Wow that was a great overtime. Perfect example of why playoff hockey is the best thing going. Those guys were flying all over the ice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went to high school in DC so was a big Caps fan and went to more games than I could count. Went to WVU and most there are Pens fans. Maybe finally a Cup for my Capitals.

May 9, 20187 yr I can't lie. There was a part of me that wanted to see Pittsburgh and Boston just to see how Crosby would react to being licked by Marchand.
May 11, 20187 yr Nashville not waiting for the game to get out of hand. Pulled Rinne down 0-2 halfway through the first after letting up two quick goals. Edited May 11, 20187 yr by heso
May 11, 20187 yr Go Jets Go! Would have liked to go into the intermission up two, but will take one. Next goal is huge, Jets need to take the crowd out of the game.

May 11, 20187 yr 4 minutes ago, cactusflinthead said: Winnipeg and Vegas. Welp, all right then winnipeg is going to be the definition of lit on saturday night
May 13, 20187 yr I dunno man. I got a feeling their mojo is about to run out. Of course I am probably wrong, but I could see this being the deflation after a big first year.
May 14, 20187 yr Well that was fun. The caps really need to take game 3 to kill any chance of this series getting interesting.
May 15, 20187 yr Vegas with another post. Jets have to be happy to limp out of that period only down 2. Really could have gotten out of hand there.
