Mournblade Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Matt Murray was so depressed after tonight's loss he went outside and threw himself in front of a bus. Unfortunately, it went through his legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max21 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Crazy to think this year won’t have a Pitt/Wash playoff series. I’m glad Pitt got swept, after all those years of the Pens beating us I’m glad those fans get to feel what it’s like, don’t feel bad for them at all. **** em. Honestly if we make it to the second round which I think we will, what a series it’ll be vs trotz and those boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Anyone know why we’re the only team that played last night that isn’t playing tomorrow night? (NOT THAT I’M COMPLAINING, especially after that loss last night). But a part of me just wants to have our game 4 be tomorrow night as well, now that Tampa and Pittsburgh are eliminated, just so i can watch and see what happens in our series. I want to know faster who will win this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Jesus man. Tampa Bay. What a choke job that was. Then Pittsburgh. I’d be worried if I were the Caps. Time to nut the **** up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins_SF Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 And now Barry Trotz can start game planning against us starting tonight, and you know he REALLY wants this match-up to prove the Capital's MGMT wrong for not paying up to keep him last year. Better figure out the Kempny workaround before this series is over, as that will be probably be the first place that Trotz looks to exploit.

My guess is, and its just a guess,that they are moving the Capitals schedule around like this since they are the defending champions, in order to get more of the games on national television Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mournblade Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 For those of you worrying about the Islanders and Columbus, just remember out path last year: 1. Columbus (kind of the equivalent of Carolina this year) 2. Pittsburgh (2nd best team in the East) 3. Tampa (Best team in the East) That's a tougher road than our likely path this year. Plus this year's team is arguably better -- all the young players like Wilson, Vrana, Conolly and Bura are more experienced and improved, and this is a team that, finally, believes in itself.

Too many folks, some blogs included, are loving the fact that TB/Pit got swept...all while not realizing that this Caps team is in a dogfight right now w/ the Hurricanes, and could easily be down 2-1 in the series. It won't be a good look with all this celebrating going on, this Caps team doesn't make it out of round 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trotz strikes me as having a really grounded perspective on life and he won’t get caught up in who they play next. The Islanders will stick to their methodical game plan regardless. 8 minutes ago, RonArtest15 said: THIS.

We will find out a lot about this playoff team next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get this argument that they are better. They never got thrashed last playoff run and they don’t have the same edge from not having won a Cup before. Plus last years team constantly won on the road which is super impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're really in no position to be gloating about anything at the present moment. At least I think the players are taking things one game at a time, but we gotta stop thinking about the Isles/Trotz until we actually get to that point. Let's get through Carolina first.

max21 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 The game on Thursday is huge, if Carolina wins they have all the momentum. We need to come out hard and score first to shut that crowd down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's silly when we make statements like "they could easily be this or that." The reality is that we STILL have the lead in a friggin playoff hockey matchup. On to the next game boys and girls.

You don't think Tom Wilson is a better player than last year? Jakub Vrana? Brett Connoly is miles better than last year. Hagelin in the bottom 6 is a significant improvement too. On the D side they are clearly weaker without Kempny. But even they are roughly the same as last year, it still bodes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
