But seriously, all meant as a compliment my friend.

Since I'm accomplished, I can afford it. No problem.

I'm fully aware it is all meant as compliment. Thanks. I know you how much I like you, especially because you get a chubby when you watch Tavares play.

Glad to see the Bolts move on, since my #1 team will be gone in 24 hours.

[lockman21]

So glad the Habs are eliminated.

[bartender_man]

Hope Tampa lose next round....

[lockman21]

That all depends on who wins tomorrow.

Not sure if I can make it in to accept it. I don't think the senior living bus leaves the old age home that day.

However accomplished I am, I appreciate the thought and love being part of the thread. Thanks to Matty for your work on the awards. As always, you are spot on and amongst the best of what's around.

fragile, must be Italian!

Edit: Nevermind.

definitely not space raven.

Take Price away from the Habs and they aren't even a playoff team. There just isn't enough there (imo) to win it all.

Definite truth in that.

Get it done tonight Caps.

Adams: TMoore. This guy leads the post count by over 1,000 posts in here. Holy crap!!! But more importantly, always around to set us straight.

Selke: hailtopitt. Consistently attacking while still being called upon to defend.

Richard: ~Crashintome89~. No one has scored more one-timed zingers in this thread this season than Matt.

Byng: For the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, the ever pleasant Kev87Lads. Remember, the Byng is technically awarded to the nice guy who is also a GREAT player.

Norris: Rebecca De Mornay, for his consistent defense of his team, no matter what.

Calder: SirBobalew. He's only been around a short time, but IMO time enough to earn an award. Great having you on board.

Conn Smythe: bonzo48280, UCFish for their increased performance during the playoffs.

Hart: Barbogast. Hard to deny the impact he's had on the thread this year. MVP status for sure.

Buccigross Award for top hockey writer: Roose13

Lappy Award for best trash-talker (formerly the Avery award): JRS1386 (SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, FOLKS)

Sorry to anyone I've missed... we'll get you!

Seriously though, very accurate award haha

Although we had a similar exchange before game six and that seemed to work out nicely for New York's team!

[SirBobalew]

With all of the horrible stats out there about how good the Caps are at blowing series, let's not lose sight of the positive. Barry Trotz is 1-0 career in game 7.

[kev87lads]

Looking forward to the game tonight. Hoping for OT as I always do for game 7s not involving my team.

Yeah....... but not what........? That's the question.

[kev87lads]

It's just not. It really isn't.

[aeroshady]

Just realized that no matter we will have seen every possible outcome in the second round. 4-0, 4-1, 4-2, and tonight 4-3.

[aeroshady]

Man this thread is slow on a day with a game 7!

[kev87lads]

Eh. I think everything has been said. 6 games worth and seasons worth between/with these teams. Just waiting game now.....

[barbogast]

Checking in for the day. Off work and home now, nothing to do but wait. Gonna be a long 5 and a half hours. Luckily I've got this baby to keep me company so I don't have to stew in solitude.

I'm having dinner with some out of town family at 5:30, hopefully the kitchen is running slow and my relatives are chatty. Just looking for an excuse to not watch.

I'm trying to actually do work (what a novel concept) to distract me from thinking about the game until it's actually game time. So far, my productivity has not been what I'd hoped.

[barbogast]

Good things coming for the Caps tonight. I believe in Trotz and Holtby and the D and even Ovie this year. It's time to get over the hump.
