This is game 7...no body ever knows how it will play out. I hope like hell the Rangers find a way....but the Caps could easily take game 7. Any Rangers fan who is not worried if crazy. Not saying the Caps fans shouldn't be worried either...just saying we should be just as worried. |

Either way, got to give him credit...game 7 just became must watch sports for everyone...not just hockey fans now. |

No one will remember it outside of DC because there's no track record with the Caps and winning where anyone will take it seriously. It fall's more into saying it more to motivate his team then being a ballsy thing to say. |

With the Rangers track record in elimination games at home, the Caps record in games 7 overall and their history of blowing series like this, I don't even know why I'm going to bother watching on Wednesday. Oh, I'll watch, but I'll hate myself for it later. :BANG |

No doubt we both have to watch. For one of us, it will be the last game of the season. After Wednesday, one of us will have to wait until October, basically 6 months, to watch our team play. So even if ends in a loss, I will be glued to the TV for the Rangers game with the hopes that it is not the last time I see them before fall!! |

I am also a forever Red Sox fan (with a little bit of a likefest for the Mets tossed in there), I know what it is like to feel pain. I can't tell you how bad losing the ALCS to the Yankees in 2003 felt. Obviously things got better just one year later! If the Sox can turn it around, so can the Caps eventually. |

Re: The NHL Thread
I am not 100% sure at this time that I will watch game 7. Don't really need to watch it happen again. I'll be able to watch, so I likely will, but it won't take long to bail. I won't lie (and feel free to call me a bad fan if you'd like), I turned off last night's game after Kreider scored 40 seconds in. I turned it back on with a couple minutes left in the first, then when Kreider scored again with 0.3 seconds left I turned it off for good. Was continuously aware of what was happening, but I stayed out. I already knew the result.

and you should, it's supposed to be fun. it will be super disappointing if they lose since they had the 3-1 lead but still a great season for them |
Re: The NHL Thread
do you guys think the rangers made it 4-3 on purpose to keep their streak of 1 goal playoff games alive?

Re: The NHL Thread
It is hard to compare with other teams because you don't know what their fans are feeling. Losing in the playoffs sucks no matter what. Yes, last year's run was amazing for the Rangers. You know why losing in the finals still felt good in the long run though? Because the Rangers have been nothing but frustrating for the 20 years before that. Including the entire time I have been a fan. Unless your team has won a Cup recently (last 10-15 years), losing hurts. Especially if the team you are watching is your overall favorite in any sport...like the Rangers are for me. Sox come close...but they are not on the level as the Rangers are for me.
I believe you need to watch game 7 as long as it remains close. If the Caps go up 2 or 3 nothing...yeah, ill probably turn on my happy music and get ready for baseball season. As long as the game is still within reach though...I will be watching. I truly believe this series is 50% either way. |

Re: The NHL Thread
See, I get people talking about the futility of individual NHL teams, but generally those cities have other sports teams that have won. Some don't, like Buffalo or Cleveland. And I know a ton of people in here are hockey fans and don't give a bleep about basketball/baseball/hockey. But I'm a fan of all sports, and root for all DC's teams. Of the cities that have a team in each of the four major US professional sports leagues, DC has gone the longest without winning anything.
So I get the frustration from hockey fans whose teams have also been bad. But for me, the thing that hurts is that as a fan of all sports, if I lived in the bay area, yeah the Sharks have been futile, but I'd have the Giants. I know that's no solace to someone who isn't a baseball fan, but I think the Caps would hurt me less if at least some DC team had won a title since 1992. |

The Pens just won back in 2009, so I can't complain too much at all, but with each passing year, the losing stings just a little more. |
