GDT R3G7 Capitals @ Lightning 2018-05-23 8:00pm EST NBCSN, CBC, SN, TVAS

[ArJunaZ]

I knew the hockey gods were with us tonight when Tampa missed the gaping net.

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

[newtoCapsparty]

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.]

Couldn’t be happier to proven so utterly and completely wrong!!!

[Second Sucks]

   You don't believe that shit?

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.

[Maacoshark]

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? 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? 




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.

[4 Caps]

What a game, it is too good to be true.  Really proud of the Caps and the way they played.  Holtby with the shutout, Burky with two big goals and Ovie with the first goal.  Our blue line was tremendous.  If we play against Vegas like we played tonight we will win. 

[Surreylily]

I wish I was in a pub celebrating with you all.  Know that I'm with you in spirit.  Or at least grape... I didn't buy any pop, in case I jinxed us, so I'll get a bottle tomorrow to celebrate.
I would love for you all to have a "White Russian", on my behalf.      Post pictures!


OMG OMG OMG ...........


We're actually fighting for THE CUP.   (swoon)


At the beginning of this year I didn't even think we'd make it to post season.

[ArJunaZ]

Like Alan May is just saying, I've been very relaxed myself about this team's chances.  I did not have more than a slight tinge of doubt in this game and usually I would be going nuts from days before until the final horn.  I feel that way going into next week too. We can really do this.

[apace41]

What an incredible two performances in games 6 and 7.  Hard to believe they played such shut down D.  I'm so happy right now.

[mayka1979]

I need tickets... god damn...
My hotel is already booked...

[HoustonCapsFan]

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

I didn’t dare say anything until the game was over. But I knew army that point we would win.

But if your remember - t'wasn't so long ago, it was Ovi with the GWG   


The additional revenue will be usefull though...

[HoustonCapsFan]

PM me if anyone has a line on a single for any game in DC.

[alta]

there is a village in Africa that is getting its eastern conference campions tshirts this weekend 

[ArJunaZ]

Did that just happen?  Did we just beat the Bolts with two elimination game shutouts to with the conference title?

 

Are we going to be the team that stops Vegas?

[alta]

I think it should be noted, it doesn't appear anyone here has doubted Bura's skill. The issue we've all had the past 3-4 years is there has been very little consistency in his game and he has needed far to many benchings to get his head right. If that's all finally in the past that's great, but we need to see more of his play to find out

[Surreylily]

What and from such a shit team?   

[chas]

Backys hand is still hurt, he's shaking with his left hand

Don't know about that.  I would be afraid of a cheap shot.

[Surreylily]

Did you see Niskannen's interview before tonight's game?  If you didn't, may I suggest you watch it?  He is so softly spoken and even more shy than Nicky, if that was possible, but he spoke for over 7 minutes.  Watch it.  Please.

"army that point" ?
