May 24, 20187 yr Ouch. That’ll leave a mark. No way I have the guts to dive into a slap shot like that.
May 24, 20187 yr All that bluster by TB. Yet 2 shots by the caps. 1 goal. If this was a Hawks game I’d start feeling that we were fucked right about now.
May 24, 20187 yr Growing up in the Washington area, you could count on 2 things: 1) The Capitals would absolutely suck. 2) When the Capitals somehow didn't suck, there was no way, no how, never, ever, they'd get to the Finals. Happy for this team, though I'm not a big follower, I'll watch a few games. Really interesting final, Team of Destiny(?) vs. Team of (Finally!) Destiny...

So I've been a Caps fan starting basically in the Ovechkin era not long after I moved here. There have definitely been better teams that couldn't get past round 2 and sometimes they were just unlucky. Starting with the game 3 double OT goal in Columbus that came from a lucky bounce, the Caps have been getting a lot of lucky bounces and the other team hasn't. In fact, if you look at the goal Tampa Bay didn't score last night, that should have tied the game but it somehow, inexplicably, did not go in. Tampa looked like an old Caps team in their unlucky breaks. The persecution complex on the part of DC fans here is real and embarrassing sometimes. I hope the Caps win to end the whining of DC fans and to take that away as something for the fans here to bitch about. This will be an interesting series as Vegas has looked unstoppable at times. But, if the breaks keep falling the Caps way, I think it will be a good series. There is some fight in this group.
May 28, 20187 yr Been a Caps fan since going to high school in DC (late 70's-early 80's) and have watched a whole lot of bad hockey. I had a friend who's dad worked at the Capital Centre so had tickets to more games than I could count. A Stanley Cup would be so nice to see. Rooting hard tonight.... Go Caps!!
May 29, 20187 yr Great backstory that the Knights have Caps old GM that drafted many of the current Cap players: Backstrom, Ovie, Holtby, Kuznetsov...going to be a good series hopefully.
May 29, 20187 yr Michael Buffer announcing the starting lineups was amazing. Amazingly what, I don’t know. But definitely amazing.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 29, 20187 yr For a 3-3 game, the goaltending has actually been pretty good.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 29, 20187 yr That goal by Reeves is going to be talked about a lot, especially in Washington. You have to call a penalty on that cross check. It created the scoring opportunity.

It created the scoring opportunity.I cheering for the Caps because a flat out ass like Ryan Reeves should never have his name on the cup. (Yes I am aware there are plenty of goons on the cup, but fuck Ryan Reeves).
May 29, 20187 yr If you're in the Austin area... Texas Stars won tonight in OT to win the AHL Western Conference championship, and holy shit it was fun. They'll play Toronto for the Calder Cup with home games June 5th, 7th, and 9th. 5 stars. Joe Bob sez check it out.
May 29, 20187 yr If vegas wins it all they should hold a parade for the guys who put down 100 on their 500-1 odds.
May 29, 20187 yr Great game, would love to see Vegas win it all. I will be there next week and looking forward to some to the cup festivities while there.
