yes, the Caps pulled out a nice one to start the series!

Maple leafs turned the Lightning into that small shock you get from electrostatic build up on the carpet ... what a thumping.

LaRea

That was a great win by the Caps.  Let's see if they can extract another one tonight -- what a shock that would be to the Panthers.

Bruins are done.

@Handymans342 I told you they can't score. I think your going to see the coach and GM get fired at the end of their season. Just say'n

Is it because of the players age or just coaches? What happened to Tuka?

I think they just don't have any second or third line scoring so it's easier to shut down the top line. The defensemen are basically too small and just not quite good enough. Tuukka couldn't come back from his hip surgery but to be honest he couldn't win the "big one" anyway. Go back and look at game 7 vs the Blues a few years back. I like the coach but I think he is too honest with the media and the players don't like that. Don Sweeny (the GM) just outright stinks (the trade at the deadline was a good one) and needs to be replaced, his drafts suck. The really need a rebuild and build around Pasta, Hall and MacAvoy....... That's my take.......... Just say'n

Caps looked like Stanley Cup champs today. Unreal

LaRea

What in the exact f#ck is going on here?  A team that scored 122 points in the reg season surrendered a 6-1 spanking.  And the Caps played without Tom Wilson.  

raybo3

Maybe Thorton Mellon is a problem on the team........ Hmmmmm Just say'n

Bruins going down today

raybo3

Probably  Carolina is a better team. They are bigger and faster. Bruins have 1 excellent good line and 1 very good line. Their Defense other than MacAvoy stinks. Too small 

LaRea

Well it didn't go down that way!  Gonna be a loud night in Boston.  

raybo3

@LaRea wow did they play well today. Hopefully they can keep playing that way. Swayman looked good in goal also. 

LaRea

Bruins are large and in charge.  

Handymans342

@LaRea any word on Wilson?

LaRea

No comment from the team.  I guess we'll find out this afternoon.

Handymans342

I think he is out for the series

PickleRick

The pens play like crap to lull you to sleep then play top notch shut down high score hockey.  Totally the game plan 

Handymans342

Well the Caps are the chokes they have always been

raybo3

Went to the Bruins game last night. Great game for them. Hopefully they can pull it out Sat Night.

Is it really a choke when you lose to the best team in the league? I think you should give them credit for hanging in there with them............ Just say'n

Handymans342

@raybo3. It's a choke leading 3 zip and allowing 5 goals

raybo3

If the Cap's win isn't a choke that the best team in hockey lost in the first round? I can't believe I am sticking up for the Cap's...lol All I am say'n is that if the Cap's win that would be a huge upset.........

Cableguy Greg

Bye bye Caps!!! 

LaRea

Caps closed out another entertaining season.  I wish it had lasted longer.
