I said that to my son when that happened. Great game. Great team. We've got the goods to take it to Vegas too.

So don't care about the 'bad puck luck' for the Lightning...their missed chances...the crazy bounces that worked against them...blah blah blah.
I love that we won this game with even strength, instead of power play, goals, too. How sweet was the shut out, again, too?
And really happy for the fans who are owning the steps of the National Portrait Gallery tonight! Bet that watch party at the arena was great.

Barry, Barry, Barry ......you're going to Bury your career with Burky. Hell, I'd rather see Gerisch over 65 at this point. Certainly would rather see Chiasson.
Can't decide whether the Caps totally shit the bed and don't show up tonight, or take us on another "we believe" tour by winning tonight and forcing a game 7 in Tampa, which they lose in triple OT. [Trying some KitFisto negativity. His wasn't enough alone last time to get the win, maybe he needs a little extra support in his lack of support for the Caps.]

Do you mean do I believe in curses and bad luck....well hell yes, I am a Caps fan after all. Took 20 years to get here, why take the chance....nothing gained by touching it.

--- Quote from: Devise on Wednesday May 23, 2018, 10:59:46 PM Eastern ---Holtby in the CBC post game "Matt Niskanen probably saved like 5 goals tonight." Yeah Maaco, it's Carlson that has been our best defender, I'm sure our goalie would call out Nisky like that just cuz right? :P I'm mostly teasing you, but I do think it's noteable that is the name he goes too. I've always had goaltender like vision though, so maybe I just see the puck better than you do? :rofl:
Awesome stuff from our club tonight. Tampa pushed harder this game, especially in the first and second and while we did get some bounces, the 0 on the scoreboard was due to both Holtby and the team defense. Holts gave up some JUICY rebounds that our entire D core was exceptionally fast on. I don't know if Tampa had a single second chance opportunity. In the third it took them 11 minutes to get a shot, including through a PP. Was clutch team defense right when we needed it. We are playing for a Stanley Cup, against freaking GMGM, of course it goes this way.

Nisky had a good game. The CBC commentators diud say that this series would have been over by now if Orlov and Niskanen weren't so awful in game 5.
BTW I watched that exact same interview and Holtby said Niskanen probably saved 4 goals. He didnt say 5.
We haven't given up a goal in 2 plus games. I think its safe to say they all played well.
