Springfield Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 CBJ and NYI are for real. I doubt that both of those series end in sweeps. I HATE Tortarella and the Jackets. I hope they get toasted by Boston/Toronto. Id be most afraid of NYI. Trotz knows how to coach a team and we can’t have lapses against his team like we are against Carolina (if we beat them).

This is more or less the same team we schooled in the 2015 playoffs, and our team is FAR more talented this year. The Islanders are an above average team led by a tremendous coach, who looked good playing an old and sputtering Penguins team that is clearly on the decline. Also the Islanders will not have home ice when they play us, and they desperately need home ice to succeed. I'm not saying it would be an easy series, but we would certainly be heavy favorites against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trotz is a great coach with the advantage of having 4 seasons to learn everything there is to know about the players on this roster. The Islanders and Jackets are showing why I was very hopeful the Caps could avoid them in round 1. 9 hours ago, c slag said: I'm thinking the same thing that happened to the Capitals against the Canadiens in 2010 the curse of the President's trophy maybe? The Caps played great to start that series to go up 3-1 and then played well most of the rest of the series, but Halak just became scorching hot (coincidentally or not it started after Ovi taunted him for having a shaky glove hand). What's going on with Tampa is just crazy at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 don't take trotz or torts for granted. Those are teams that could knock off the caps and both have individual chips on their shoulder. Columbus wants to prove last year was a fluke. Islanders are led by Caps former coach who is motivated as hell to beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islanders are led by Caps former coach who is motivated as hell to beat them. This is where I stand with potential, future, playoff opponents - especially with the Islanders. The Caps only beat them by 1 point to win the division and split the series against them in the regular season. And it isn't as if they're just barely beating the Penguins right now - they are wrecking shop. Last 2 games have an aggregate score of 7-2. 1 hour ago, Springfield said: Let’s just win tonight And this is where I stand in general. Unlike the Islanders, the Capitals have been living on the edge so far. They damn near gave up a 3 goal lead in game 1 and wasted ample opportunities to put the Canes away early on Saturday. Caps couldn't convert on any power play opportunities in Game 2 (including a 5 minute major) and had to win it in overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 What's happening in Tampa is crazy. It doesn't even compare to the Caps playoff losses as a high seed, as even our series were generally very close. Tampa had the best regular season EVER and is getting DOMINATED. This would be like the undefeated Patriots getting blown out in the first round by like the Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 As a lifelong Caps fan who also follows the Sharks with a passion..can I just say I cannot stand the Las Vegas franchise? They definitely have played well (albeit when it's 8 on 5 the last two games it's easier)..but outside of Crosby flaming out, nothing will make me happier than seeing the Knights eliminated (eventually). God I hate that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
