2016-17 Washington Capitals Thread - Thanks for Everything, Ovi. It's Time to Move on.. #Firesale

[DC9]

You wanted 'em, you got 'em.

 

Let's go, men.

 

Reverse this ****.

A. This is why you don't call a series over when you simply go down 2-1...

 

B. Now comes the big test, Pittsburgh. If Alzner can play, I'd dress 7 defensemen honestly. We're going to need to use all options available.

[Warhead36]

Its destiny.

 

The Skins had to beat the Boys to get to their first Super Bowl.

 

The Sawx had to beat the Yankees.

 

Manning had to beat Brady.

 

Jordan had to beat the Bad Boy Pistons. 

[Popeman38]

People wanted Holtby to steal a game. Game 5 & 6 say hi!

[SkinsHokieFan]

great series win 

 

it is going to take 7 to beat Pittsburgh. This is going to be an epic war 

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Epic response from Holtbeast.

He was great tonight. Much better at controlling the puck in front of the net. 

[SkinsHokieFan]

Holtby really stepped it up in game 5 &6. If not for a crazy bounce, he gets a shutout tonight

I think the other person stopped posting when the season ended last Monday.

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Team responded to the pressure with the 3 straight wins 

[SkinsFanRob]

Of course game one is thursday. Was really hoping i could watch the draft. Looks like double duty now. All the series are done. Why the long break?

[c slag]

Going to miss Joe and Craig calling the games on CSN great job all season best in the business

Wizards/Hawks Game 5 is on Wednesday at the phone booth. I doubt they'd have a Game 1 two days after a series ends.

Ah makes sense. Not a big basketball fan but i guess thats the price you pay when you have two local teams in the playoffs at once lol

[mammajamma]

Holtby and I were playing great on the ice after our 7 pm games started tonight. He knew I'd be top notch tonight so he knew he had to match it.

Don't worry, if we lose Thursday, everyone will be back to having meltdowns

Real DC fans for you. 

 

Rarely,  rarely agree with stickboi but he is correct. As I said everyone freaked out after game three. It's a seven game series. 

[zoony]

So will they raise the temp of the ice at VZ for this series?  

[Zazzaro703]

This team made moves over the offseason for this exact series. I've already heard the players last night say this is what they wanted. Man if we aren't going to beat the Pens now, I'm not sure we ever will. While I sat nervous waiting and before pretty much every Toronto game since game two, I personally am looking forward to the Pens series and cannot freaking wait. I've been waiting for this all year. I do not care if it takes 7 games, the Capitals WILL beat the ****ing penguins this year. Not to mention that Toronto series was a perfect tune up. 

 

Only thing im not looking forward to is now we are all forced to NBCSN's coverage and I loathe that entire team and their coverage. 

[RonArtest15]

Thoughts on Grant Paulsen as CSN's hockey guy?

I'll happily take the extra day AND another D.C. team in the playoffs, which everyone should be cheering for every spring.

[skinsmarydu]

Couldn't get logged on with my phone for **** during the game, I wanted to ask a question:  How were the Leafs defensemen totally hogging their goal when the puck got close, but ours didn't do much to help Holtby block at all (at least it seemed that way to me) through the whole series?
