Capitals fan selling his soul one year ago today: Please hockey gods, I've suffered so much, next season please let the Capitals beat every single NHL team in existence. Hockey gods (trying not to laugh): You said in existence, right?
Finally he gets to the finals: good for him, good for the Capitals, good for their fans.Overchkin especially deserves this. Happy for them and the fans here.
As much as I hate Holtby, I'll be rooting for the Caps in the finals. Go Caps Go.Finally he gets to the finals: good for him, good for the Capitals, good for their fans.
Now finish the job.
You really nailed this one.This game is shaping up one of two ways:
A) Tampa reels off four consecutive goals and win going away
B) Washington hangs onto a one-goal lead for 58 minutes, cough up a tying goal before the horn, then lose in OT.
Which of these is more likely, do you think?
It's the old Bill Simmons reverse lock.You really nailed this one.
As a DC-area resident but not a Caps fan, I’d still like to see the Caps win, if only for my friends who are long-suffering Caps fans. That said, the one guy on the team I’ve always liked is Holtby, who seems like one of the most thoughtful and progressive-minded professional athletes around today.As much as I hate Holtby, I'll be rooting for the Caps in the finals. Go Caps Go.
The funny thing is they have to go up against Fleury, who eliminated their two best teams in franchise history (09 & 17).It really would be the Capsiest thing ever to finally beat the Penguins and get to the Finals only to lose to an expansion team.
It would complete their run.The funny thing is they have to go up against Fleury, who eliminated their two best teams in franchise history (09 & 17).
That was another brilliant move by the NHL; expand the league from 6 to 12 teams in 1968 and put the 6 expansion teams in one conference, leave the original 6 teams in the other conference and have the winners meet in the finals...............the Blues got swept twice by Montreal and once by the Bruins, thankfully they changed things in 1971.Anyone that brings up the St Louis Blues (as having been "first") expansion team in the Stanley Cup finals just needs to be shot.
It was guaranteed to happen that year.
