And as an aside...I am beyond happy that our team is moving forward.  But I am also happy that Pittsburgh is NOT.  Nice that they will be on the sidelines.

Yes.  Our goalie is STELLAR.
   And to think he wasnt even the starter at the beginning of the playoffs. Maybe it was a wakeup call for him. This is by far the best he has played all year.

The reason we won this series is because Holtby stole a couple of games and was fantastic the whole series.  If he had played last year against Pittsburgh like he did this series we would have won that series too. 


I also agree that this win should ensure that Trotz will be back next season.

Never a doubt! For once, the Pens didn’t get the lucky bounces and the refs put their whistles away. The NBC guys were even consistently critical of Letang.


You know what’s next? We beat Tampa Bay!

   I agree. And what makes the game winning goal more memorable is that is was Crosby that turned the puck over. I didn't get the NBC broadcast. I would love to hear Pierre's reaction.

This is the first time the capitals have had a good team, rather than just good players. They were always a highly skilled teamed which was not balanced in the way this current team is. This current team is good at everything, they have no real weakness when they are playing their best. Good offense, good Defense, good goalie.

I wanna hear what Sullivan has to say in the Post game. Bet he is terse, with a small nod to the Caps, but will have some underlying whining tone.

You couldn't see it but he actually tripped because Pierre was trying to get his junk in his mouth.

   Trotz should get a lot if credit in these playoffs. He has made great adjustments all playoffs. Facing some adversity really forced his hand but he passed the test.

Yes!  I said a few minutes earlier that I will happily stay up late to watch the recorded broadcast and listen for the muted/subdued less-than-impressed reaction from the announcers that I fully expect to hear.

Congratulations to all of you on this forum that have weathered the many letdowns and disappointments.  We deserved this.
The Capitals have something special going on. This was not just a win. We ruled the Penguins!  I think we have a really good shot in the next round and more.
We were missing half our top six and had to rely on rookies with little ice time with this team and they all came up big and made  barely any mistakes.
I've refrained from saying too much, but I've been seeing a real change in the heart of this team since the first series.

Anyway, congrats to all of us!
Be careful what you ask for America; you just might get it.

    Losing some talent in the off season forced the Caps to play more as a team.

You guys will be disappointed. I just rewatched it on the NBC feed on Gamecenter since you have all access to replays etc with that stuff. After the goalie got scored Pierre didn't speak, at all. Doc was trying to call what happened, Milbury piped up a few times and blankly and plainly called the breakaway and Letang for the mistake. I say again, Pierre never spoke, Doc kept going silent to try to prompt him, nothing. He didn't even call the replay on the goal.


Then instead of cutting to an interview with a player following the game, the on ice crew cut to the other game. On CBC they were interviewing Ovechkin, because of course one of the games biggest stars getting over that hump in such dramatic fashion is worthy of post game content. On NBC? Nah. The bias is so real at this point it's mind numbing. Disgusting. Especially since the team they are being biased for has back to back Cups previous and another one in their tank before that. Plus the times they had Mario and Jagr. That franchise has zero reason to be anything but humble in defeat considering everything they've done.


But yeah, it's pretty silly to hear their very muted reaction.

   No. But I honestly think this team is better without him.

   I can't believe we had all those young players in the lineup and we playedcsuch a sound defensive game.


Best team defensive game of the year... By far...
What's up babes...

   Ya I saw the Ovi interview. He was all smiles.
