Tampa is now 6-0 all time at Washington in playoffs

I can honestly say I don't give a flying fuck about game 5 or 6. Any idiot who think these choke artist chumps have a snowballs chance deserves the heartbreak.

Gotta agree.  I've gotten my hopes up too many times since the early 80's to believe that this franchise can get it done.  The Caps are the only team in hockey that can repeatedly get 2 game leads in the playoffs and you have NO confidence whatever that they'll win.  After this one, they will have had TEN 2 game leads and will have a .200 winning pct.  The average for all other teams in that situation is like 87%.  It's utterly pathetic.

While I can’t necessarily say I agree that just the Caps Jersey makes them choke artist, I will say I’m not confident in the roster, and decisions who to dress.


A main concern is how much fuel they have left.  Theyve played 16 games of very intense, high paced hockey.  Which is now four more games then they are used to.  With the last two games, the cardio, bumps and brusies, and general fatigue my be contributing, if not causing the relapse we’ve seen in the past two games.


Maybe they hit the proverbial N2O to soon and don’t have another tank.

     I don't mind most players on this team. Not sure this team has what it takes. Some of our bottom guys lack skill but that's ok if they are contributing in other ways. Some of our more skilled guys just are doing it. Especially Burakovsky.
     On the back end, Kempnys last few games his play has tailed off. And Djoos get out muscled on every puck battle. He doesn't belong in the NHL playoffs yet.

I just don’t think we have “playoff” players.  The type of player Jim Leyland called “dirtbags”.


Players that will do anything needed and only have a top gear come playoff time, and find another liter and a few more NOZ stages each series, game and shift.

When you're wrong I hope you admit it.

Good job

[KitFisto]

Well the didn't happen. They showed heart last night. Can they again?

That is a big question, the next one should be the toughest. Both teams loose everything.

[canadiancapman]

Boom. Time to start believing. This is a different team that's determined. We finally play a style that the Rangers always played against us when we were the better team and everyone has bought in. We're trapping when the other team breaks out and we collapse in our own zone so that it's hard to get shots through. Even when shots get through, we have 5 guys right there in the slot and more often than not we are the ones that are first to the puck

the only heartbreak left would be if they get swept by Vegas

Nope, would not hurt.  Wings did that to me, I have no feelings left for a sweep... now if we win a game at all, god save my heart...
