Stanley Cup Playoffs

LaRea

I'll say!  Not many teams have earned the right to show this:

Oh, it's gonna be a tough battle all the way till the end, that I don't doubt.  I'm sure more blood will be left on the ice!

Really Handy you getting a little nervous? You talked like the Cap's had no chance of losing............. Wow!!!!!

Handymans342

Its a history thing Raybo

Since Tom Wilson won't get any suspension for the broken jaw/concussion last night, he will take out another player and the Caps will win it. It's tough when the Pens are playing the Caps/Refs/NHL.

raybo3

You have to have confidence. However the Cap's need to stop those cheap shots to the head.....lol

Handymans342

The Caps are getting the Pens to play their game which isn't good for them

LaRea

I hate that Aston-Reese got hurt, but in hindsight, a smarter choice would have been to avoid the hit.  He and Wilson were looking directly at each other when they were still 10 feet apart.  Instead, he chose to lower his shoulder and go after Wilson, who is 4" taller.  

Dream_Inn

Yeah, I can only imagine the fans in Pittsburgh Thursday night if/when Wilson comes out.  One night was Dumoulin and next night Ashton-Reese.  As LaRea said, I'm sure breaking the jaw was not intentional. 

Handymans342

Crosby and Malkin can go too

JonnyM

There is no place in the game for leaving your feet on a hit like Wilson did.  Head contact would not have happened if Wilson didn't leave his feet.

LaRea

It's interesting how many fans give Ovi a one-finger salute when he gets close to the glass.  It's probably raining f-bombs too.  I'm not judging -- just observing that customs in DC are different from P'burgh (or Philly).  

JonnyM

Ya, that wasn't too classy with the fingers.  I think that all started with an older lady they caught on Camera flicking off a Flyer.  In Philly they just throw full beers at the players. 

JonnyM

I'm actually headed to Vegas tonight through the weekend.  I would love to go to the VGK - SJ game 5 but at least we will be around it.  I heard the atmosphere is crazy.

Cableguy Greg

I don't think it is classy at all either. I guess they do that since we aren't allowed to pound on the glass at PPG.

JonnyM

I can't stand when people pound on the glass lol.  It's usually some loud "Yinzer" (non Pittsburghers look it up) with his own name on the back of his jersey screaming Fight the whole game.

LaRea

You can't pound the glass at PPG?  You just raised my respect for the Penguins.  A little.  

I also am not a fan of "Ref You Suck" chants, but that crap is everywhere.

Nope. The ushers will come down and tell you to sit down. If you continue, they will escort you out.

Bruins going down tonight

raybo3

Handy why hate???? Life is too short to hate bro..........

LaRea

He's contrary when he's off his meds.  

raybo3

Yerp........

Handymans342

Goodbye Wilson 3 games

LaRea

Well that's interesting.  

Handymans342

How is shoulder to shoulder to the head????

Handymans342

Fixed!!

Handy your a homer it was not a shoulder to shoulder hit. Wilson hit him right in the head.

Handymans342

Bruins going down. They are done

Dream_Inn

If CAPS can pull it off tonight, they'll clinch in game 5!   Bruins are not in a good spot.  Wouldn't surprise me if TB takes it in 2 more games. (I'll change my mind in a couple days, just like Handy )
