I forget...was Smith-Pelly on the first line for the last game?  I see he is on the first line tonight. 

[newtoCapsparty]

Whoa...what happened there?

Yes, he was there at 1R last game.

[newtoCapsparty]

Are you kidding me?

[newtoCapsparty]

Yes, he was there at 1R last game.

Thank you...

Djoos did nothing to stop that

[Devise]

Just realized I don't have enough booze for this.....

Djoos did nothing to stop that

Deflected off our Dman and in, so don't really know what he could of done.

I think tonight we need to see the Caps throwing their bodies and everything else on the ice to block shots, if necessary.

   Djoos isn't very good in our end. The problem started when Gersich turned the puck over along the boards.

Djoos was right there. He could have used his body to block the shot.

[ArJunaZ]

I thought it deflected too, but watching again I don't think so.

If they get a PP goal here it's going to be a long night.  Typical Caps in a big game

[justwincaps]

To say the season is on the line with this PK too much?

[alta]

holy schnit! If 74 would do that more than twice a year he might be worth keeping

It's why I knew the series was over when we last Game 4. Only chance we had in this series was scraping by with a win in one of the final 3 games of the series. Putting the panic on the Pens by getting them one from elimination with 3 games left was our only move.


This group doesn't have the psyche to deal with this close of a series, which means the Pens don't even have to be good. They just have to wait for the pressure to kill us, like it does...every...fucking...year.

ORPIK IS BRAIN DEAD. I could have cleared that puck.

[ArJunaZ]

   

Except for that one brain fart by Orpik.

[newtoCapsparty]

ORPIK IS BRAIN DEAD. I could have cleared that puck.

I agree...it looked so weak.  Orpik is one of my least favorite players--every game.
