At least the locals get to call round 1. The league really needs to let the locals cover the first three rounds, at a minimum.

Good to know! I may have to stretch the old hdmi cord across the room and stream that sucker!

Just watched some of the Cap All Access episodes on YouTube for last years series against the Pens and Tampa. Man, that gets you fired up. It also makes you realize how important one or two key plays are.  In the Pens series, Nisky saved a goal and scored one and that was huge. In the Tampa series Burky scored a couple beauties at the end. 


I think Burky is going to shine in these playoffs.  Kuzy will ramp it up and just take over some games.  Vrana will emerge as a real star. Finally, Ovi will crush it!!!!

We have another rookie coach.  Don't hold your breath.    lSorry chaps.  Don't expect too much.

Hey Everybody, it’s Rush.
There is a chance that I won’t be able to attend playoff game 1, at home, this Thursday!
I don’t normally offer tickets here, but this issue just came up for me.


Anyway, if I can’t make it, AND if I’m familiar with you, here on the board, then I’ll let them go at $20 over my cost per ticket. My cost is $129/ea. and I have 2 tickets total. So they are $149/ea. They are selling right now anywhere from $195-275/ea, on the websites! So it’s a good deal, to be sure!


Not interested in selling to anyone who is NOT going themselves! In other words, no vendors or re-sellers please! The reason is that I have great respect, and a good relationship, with my seat neighbors, and I care about who sits in my seats!


They’re awesome seats in sec. 105, row W, behind the goal, on the end that we shoot twice!


Not looking to solicit other games, this is just due to some unforeseen circumstances, for this game only!


If interested, just reply to this post, and we can figure arrangements.
Thanks folks!

Blue Jackets had a rough start 0-3, but they fought hard and took control of the Bolts beating them 4-3 in Amalie Arena.  They sure look tough.

Now let's pause for a moment.  If this was the Caps having blown a lead like that to a WC team in their own building, what would the folks here be saying?  Heck, there would be folks already lamenting the inevitable sweep.   (At least, there would have been before last year.)


It happens to EVERYONE.

Great hockey tonight. Islanders playing a tough physical game against the Hens. Isles just took the lead 3-2 with 7min left in regulation.  God damn Penguins are putting on another diving showcase.

For the record, you will not find one post here from me during last years playoff run where I doubted the Caps. In fact, you'll find nothing from me like that since at least the All-Star break last year.

Just watched the lamest fucking penalty call on the isles in the Hens game. Tie game with 10 min to play. Awful call. Two guys stumble and fall then slide to the boards and the ficking ref calls a boarding call on Islander. The fucking islander actually fell first. Ref was on opposite side of net and called it cause a Hen fell down
Disgusting display of Hencocksuck by the ref 


Haha isles killed it then scored


Woot. Isles 3-2 with about 6 min left

[richkrt99]

What time did the Tampa game start?

[richkrt99]

FFS. Hens scored with goalie pulled
Ffffffffffuuuuuucckkkkkkkk

I saw that. Same old crap by the cocksucking refs.

Clutterbuck had EVERY opportunity to stop the game tying goal by Schultz, but he totally pussed out and actually pulled away from the puck so as not to be hit by it.  Leads me to think the NYI haven't got the mind set to win a cup.

[ArJunaZ]

What time did the Tampa game start?

It started at 7pm, about 30 minutes before Hens/Isles game making it easy to watch both because of staggered intermissions.

[richkrt99]

Isles hit a post on a 2 on 1 with 2 seconds left


That's the game I think.


And Barry Trotz actually yelled at the refs on that horrendous call earlier. Mad as I have ever seen him


And the Nats are besting Philly 15-0

[ArJunaZ]

God! It is painful to listen to the NBC goons summarize the Hens/Isles game to this point. They are as usual gushing about the Penguins comeback having oralgasm after oralgasm over it.

[ArJunaZ]

And the Nats are besting Philly 15-0

That is fucking AWESOME!!!!!    LMAO!!! 

[richkrt99]

Nats pitcher Rosenthal is throwing 97-100mph. Just hit 101.
I never heard of him. Looks like jayson wyrth with the hair and beard.


Can't throw strikes though. Walked two in the ninth and K'd 1
Shutout in jeopardy. Two on, one out.


Consistently throw 97+
Walked another. Bases loaded, 1 out
