OldHat:
My concern is that they exhale and think they have done something. Feels great to beat the pens but it doesn't mean much without a Cup.
Tampa will be tough and we need to pay them back for a playoff ousting as well... Fuck Tampon Bay. I hope they are fired up and didn't blow their collective wad last night.

Don't get me wrong, it won't be easy but I do think we can prevail. As long as we continue to play the way we have been. I'm more worried about the west coast than TB. I don't think we have the same negative mindset that hung over us like it did with the Pens in the past. And if we do lose and do move to the Stanley Cup Finals, I will be ok with that as long as we play like we have been.

You must be a relative noob. If there is no cup then it's all for naught. I'm not satisfied with a conference final or a finals appearance. We want the world and we want it..... NOOOOOWWWWW.

Actually I have been around for quite some time, just chose to leave the original boards because of the pompus, asshole, ego maniacs. You don't know me for shit, so you can take noob assumption and shove it up your ass.
Now with that said....
Yes in the big picture it's the cup or bust. I don't think that if we don't win the cup it will all be for naught because we have moved forward instead of backward. We have broken through a huge barrier that has kept us at bay for years. Progress is success, so I wouldn't call the Caps being a failure if we don't win the cup this year. That's all I'm saying. You can agree or disagree it doesn't matter or make either one of us right or wrong.
Devise:
Yeah count me among those who want to see us win a Cup but still recognizes what this does for our clubs psyche. It's a huge step forward, it's not about overlooking that step and assuming we've won. That isn't what we are doing. It's about knowing that without a shadow of a doubt this playoff season the Caps have taken a step forward. That leaves me with more optimism than we've ever had with Ovechkin, which I think is a good thing.
That said however we obviously want to make this year be the year. And TB is a good team. However I do think the fact that we were doing what we did with a diminished roster says volumes to the depth, especially at forward. Stephenson, Boyd, Walker, Gersisch. We had a lot of Hershey boys step up, some of which are likely to feature on the roster going forward. Walker specifically impressed me, had the hustle like Jay Beagle out there.

Thanks but I don't shove things up my ass.
It's Cup of b[size=78%]ust for me. "Progressing" to the third round is empty without a Cup. Success is success. There is only one winner. All others fail. "Progress" is what those who lose console themselves with.[/size]
Don't get me wrong, sending the pens home is gratifying as hell, but it still doesn't scratch that itch.
