Pens are good but I also don’t think Crosby or the Pens respect the luck or support from the role players. Role players never get the limelight

I think the fact that the HBK line was celebrated as much as it was directly contradicts this post. The Pens are no more or less guilty than any other team as far as giving credit to role players.

Did HBK lift the cup 2 years ago? No. But they were the reason they advanced

Did MAF lift the cups at year? No. And he’s the reason they won that cup

Right people at the right time.

As a Caps fan I hate the Pens. I also know they’ve been the kryptonite to the Caps

When Cosby went down last year I remember saying to myself, “I don’t want to beat the Pens down their best player”. Call it an ego thing or whatever you want but I genuinely want the Caps to make the run without any outside help

As a Caps fan myself and our fan base have been hurting for a genuine run. I hope we can get it

I want to win but I also don’t want it tainted

Idk man. When I saw that I hated it. I hate seeing players injured and add the fact he was top 2 in the league hurt.

I cheer fo the Caps but I want that vengeance win against the Pens to not be tainted. It’ll just be more satisfying

Hopefully we’re headed for Caps v Pens round 3

To be honest, if the Caps were to make a real run, I couldn't care less how it happens. I won't feel cheapened at all if it's against teams that aren't Pittsburgh.

The Caps really turned me off last year. That was a big one for me. Of course I'll always love them, but my willingness to devote significant time to them diminished big time after they got bounced last year. I cut my cable for good this season for the first time, so I haven't watched them hardly at all this season, but I'm back in through Sling for the playoffs. At this point, I just hope they make this fun and don't let us down again. I really don't care who it's against.

I’ve always been an out of market subscriber so ‘Keeping Up with the Caps’ has always been a challenge

I will agree that following them this year has been rough knowing the inevitable outcome. It was easier following them when they were the best team in the league

Will I be there for the SCF’s if they’re there? Of course. Am I as invested this year compared to the previous 2 years? Not in the slightest

It's not even just the past two for me. It's a culmination of the entire Ovie era. But I was definitely a guy that watched all of the games year in and year out. This year is the first where I've only followed the team through highlights and columns. It's been liberating :lol I have so much free time!

But I couldn't help myself for the playoffs, I'm a true sucker for these guys. Ready to feel the pain again! :lol I'm actually really excited about the CBJ series. Tortorella is always a good time. Plus we've never faced them before in the playoffs so that should be cool. The Caps definitely shouldn't look past them. I know we all fantasize about Pittsburgh but Columbus is no walk in the park.

Not at all. But in all honestly I don’t see much difference between this team and past years teams aside from name brand

Caps are talented to win it all. I’m hoping Kuzy and the Rooks can make it happen

Again I speak as someone who really hasn't watched all that much, but I think they could stand to be stronger defensively. I know there's a lot of deep stats that say they aren't all that great of a team, but I'm not smart enough to fully wrap my head around all the advanced statistics. Plus I really must say again, I don't love the goalie situation currently. I'm not hating on Grubauer, but let's be honest, he's completely inexperienced here. Maybe that won't phase him at all, and maybe it will. But i must say, I'm disappointed Braden didn't have a better season and isn't heading full steam elite status into the playoffs. I think that having that kind of rock solid netminding is huge for a team that really wants to go deep, and I think Braden obviously didn't have his best season ever, and now he finds himself in a position where the only situation that will cause him to see post season minutes is if the team needs a bailout. That's too bad. But it's not all gloom and doom. I think the team can score for sure, I think they've still got the same strong pieces there that they have for the last couple seasons. And they should, at the very least, be able to hang with anyone. So we'll see. I'm hoping for the best. Worst case scenario, I get to cancel this $25 Sling subscription before a month runs up :lol

And while Quick has made a lot of stellar saves, he’s not seeing the puck well tonight.

I feel like 3lieve would have been better than 3elieve lol. I get that they’re saying the 3 looks like a B, but three can rhyme with the be in believe. Threelieve. Still pretty shitty tho lol

The backread was fun. Only thing I wish to comment on was I think the two loudest reactions last year of Pens lifting the cup were MAF and Kessel. If my memory serves correctly.

Also MAF’s tribute video from his return this year showed him hoisting each cup and in the parade. I don’t think there’s any question both from fans and media alike that there would have been no cup without MAF last year.

Alright Quick redeemed himself in the 3rd, he had me worried a few times.

Twice Kopitar had the puck in the slot and fucked around trying to get it to his backhand instead of just taking the shot. That was frustrating. Brown missed a wide open net. If they work on getting the puck to the net they will be fine. The Knights are too fast to try to do too much. Keep it simple.

Vegas was more physical, interested to see if they can keep that up. Kempe was the best skater, which surprised me. LaDue was terrible, they need Muzzin back.

One would hope they took it as a wake up call for sure. The good thing for the Flyers is this was just game one, if the Flyers can figure it out this game will feel like a distant memory in two weeks. Kevin said it best, if that happens again in game 2, then there is serious cause for concern. But like you said, they just weren't ready for the playoffs, and most likely it'll serve as a big time reality check and the rest of the series will be everything we're hoping it will be.

Yeah I mean most of it was correctable stuff... not strong with the puck, turnovers in your own zone, missed assignments on Defense, losing 50/50 battles etc.

The younger guys all looked like deer in the headlights and the Vets didn’t bring it but even still, the goalie situation is the really the only thing that has me uneasy at this point. I expect Elliot to bounce back but he’s just not as quick in net these last few games since he returned from injury.

The Jets wore the old logo as part of the 2016 Heritage Classic. It doesn't look like they sell a lot of throwback merch through Fanatics except for a t-shirt that was associated with the Heritage Classic.

So either the Coyotes allowed this one time use or the Jets are really pushing that new logo.

It looks as if the Coyotes still keep the team history of the old Jets and the current Jets keep the history of the Thrashers. This doesn't seem to be a case of when the Browns moved to Baltimore where the Ravens became a new franchise and the former Browns players became Ravens. In that case the league kept the Browns intellectual property and they retained their team history when they came back in 1999.

I have no doubt he practices those deflections every bit as much as Tavares and Pavelski- both of whom we all know are damn good at it. Additionally, Crosby played baseball growing up and could hit so he knows darn well how helpful hand eye coordination is.

Everyone knows where Ovechkin is going to be he still puts the puck in the back of the net at a higher rate than Crosby

It’s a very different game when the 2 first came in the league

They are both insanely good but have different responsibilities so it is tough to really compare a canter to a wing in order to determine who is better.

Of course not, one could say the same about any cup winner.

I think any road to the final runs through Pittsburgh in the EC.

Did it really happen according to this thread? Nope. :lol

Winnipeg has been a great story line this year, the Sedin's retiring was a big deal, the magic guys like Tarasenko or MacKinnon can create are well documented, Vegs shattered every record for an expansion team, Nashville won the Presidents Cup and think back to last year when Bryan Bickell scored for the Canes in his last game in that shootout knowing his MS would prevent him from playing again. Point being there a lot of great story lines we chat about in here.

They have a great fan base IMO and many are very well educated in hockey, I think you are not giving enough credit to their fans.

Apologies for the multi quotes - just got up after watching hockey almost all day yesterday until the end of that Kings/Vegas game - I did not have even a single sip of beer (or any alcohol) yet I feel like I have some sort of hockey hangover! :lol

So either the Coyotes allowed this one time use or the Jets are really pushing that new logo.

It looks as if the Coyotes still keep the team history of the old Jets and the current Jets keep the history of the Thrashers. This doesn't seem to be a case of when the Browns moved to Baltimore where the Ravens became a new franchise and the former Browns players became Ravens. In that case the league kept the Browns intellectual property and they retained their team history when they came back in 1999.

That’s a shame because those heritage classic jerseys looked great. The best looking jerseys in the league are the old school ones; pens, hawks, oilers, bruins come to mind. I’m just not a fan of the newer styles.

Eh...it could go either way. I don't think he was trying to hurt him or anything like that. I think he actually just missed what he thought was going to be a big shoulder-to-shoulder hit and wound up getting some of his head. The only thing I don't like is that Doughty's shoulders go up at the end, but even that may have been natural body instinct from bracing for a hit. Those are my initial thoughts at least.

Edit: My conclusion is that there is nothing there that is out of line.

Clean IMHO.

If he had been a half stride later this would be a non-issue. Whoever the VGK player is is reaching out to make a move around Doughty so naturally the head sticks out a bit.

Oooh I haven't done one of these in a while!

*Did Doughty leave his feet? No.

*Was he charging? No.

*Was it a blindside hit? No. Carrier was looking down, but Doughty was not out of his line of sight.

*Was contact made with the head? Looks like he mostly got Carrier's shoulder, with some head contact made as he skated through the check.

*Was he targeting the head? I see no reasonable evidence to lead me to believe that Doughty was not trying to make a shoulder-on-shoulder check.

* Did Carrier put himself in a compromised situation? Nope, not really. I mean, guy's gotta keep his head up when he's driving to the net but he didn't really do anything to put himself in a vulnerable position.

IMO, no supplemental discipline should be assessed.

I don't see any reason for discipline, Doughty is leading with his shoulder and Carrier is driving and sort of drops a bit when he skates into Doughty so his head gets hit slightly by Doughty's shoulder. It was a fluke play, Doughty had as much right to try and get at that puck as Carrier did to keep driving so I see no reason for the NHL to discipline a guy who was not even penalized for the play at the time. It is a contact sport, stuff like that happens unfortunately.

That Doughty hit is hard to punish imo. Doesnt look like he was trying to target the head. No way to predict what the league will do though.
