Caps controlled the puck well, skated better and had better opportunities. The luck has to regress to the mean at some point....right?

Bonino is a Capital killer. Huge win for the Pennnns. They needed one in Washington and got it out of the way early. But the Caps look plenty good. That last minute and a half took months off my life. Lot of work to be done.

^ One thing I learned playing poker is no one is ever due for anything. Washington has to make it happen for themselves. They can't control the refs. But if they keep working the way they are, they will get their breaks.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I'm so sick of so many threads in The Tailgate turning into hockey vs. everyone else. So obnoxious.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Agreed. But shit, it made TwoStep and JeepKid agree on something! :lol

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

That happens?

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Right now it's the ESPN layoffs thread.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Say it with me! Regression to the mean!!

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Pretty frustrating loss just now. But I do think if the Caps can play like that all the time this series they will win it. That was truly terrible stuff from the ref to blow the play dead. Just excruciatingly poor stuff. The Niskanen penalty isn't much better. But if I'm gonna try to be positive, there were a lot of good things in the part of the game I watched. Sounds like for the most part the whole game was like that outside the first ten minutes and then Crosby's goals. I do wish Holtby could've come up with a huge stop on the Bonino play but I don't blame him for the goal certainly.

Overall a well played game from the Caps. Just keep doing that.

Totally needing chant, but the luck can't be that bad

Well that sucked, both teams I was cheering for tonight (Rangers and Caps) lost via late goals. Least Edmonton beat the damn ducks last night though.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Mattaa probably could have gotten the puck out on that sequence. Assuming johannson wasnt holding it for as long as he was.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Crazy crazy game.

I agree the Niskanen penalty was weak, and that whole sequence was botched terribly.

I'm not sure who it was but there was a penguin lying on the puck for a couple seconds and the whistle should've blown them and probably been a penalty. Then they let it go and the ref panicked and blew the whistle when the puck wasn't covered.


MAF was unreal. But also can't forget the Geuntzel kick save in the 1st period. Huge.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

:lol Yeah, there was that.

All the time.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

People know how dedicated hockey fans are to their sport. It's an easy stance to go anti hockey and rile us up

A bit old, but topical this morning

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Here's a bit of trivia for years to come...

Who had the highest save percentage in the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs?

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Don't let it bother you, man. Trolls gonna troll. Let them wallow in their own hockey ignorance.

With that said, I'm off to back read for :lol s

Am I the only one that gives absolutely zero shits about the ESPN layoffs?

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

And this forum has that select few who know that and love to take digs at us.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I had no idea

Granted I really don't venture outside this thread much anymore, nor did I read what happened in the ESPN thread, but I can't imagine it's hard to ignore. I mean I certainly don't care if someone doesn't like hockey. It's not like people come trolling in here.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

They have before, but thankfully been a while.

I love all 4 major sports but if I ever have any digs it's at how to improve those sports. Like the NBA being so predictable in the early rounds, I think they could fix some of that with X. Then their fans get defensive and think their sports are perfect, and then go off about hockey to make themselves feel better I think.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I wanna hear the Punjabi call from Bonino's goal last night

Also not a good look with caps fans throwing trash on the ice last night

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

wtf is that chick, and why did she say the caps in four?

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Shes a porn star who somehow because a DC sports media person.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I've never really seen it and I've been here for several years now.

Maybe it's just because I don't really intake anything about sports besides hockey stuff. I'm not into any of the other sports enough to have real opinions about them so I guess I just never find myself talking sports with anyone other than hockey fans.

Whoever that person is fucking weird. Did she have a personalized Caps shirt? Like the logo is her name? What a bizarre post to make

I wasn't aware about the trash throwing. Clearly there's a reason to be frustrated but yeah that's never a good look.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Wait that unibrow chick is porn star?

:lol

I just can't defend this fanbase. Good lord.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Yeah its definitely a personalized caps shirt, didnt even notice that.

There was a cup thrown they showed right when the pens were giving taps to fleury when the game ended. Idk if there was more.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Look at her twitter. Pretty sure she posted a pic in lingerie this morning. Search her name on a porn site, good stuff actually :lol


Shes hot for sure, but shes a dumb fuck who does nothing but bash crosby for clicks. Shes basically just an online personality now, companies pay her to advertise for them on her social media platforms.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Like I said it's hard not to be frustrated. I still can't get over that whistle. Like how does that happen.

Caps just need to keep playing that game. They can't let that sink them.
