Caps Playoff Tread

Good job. They did what they were supposed to.

Now they have to get out of the 2nd round, something, which has plagued this franchise for ages.

Bring it on!

Odd fact: of the six series that are still ongoing, none of the six teams that are currently ahead in the series have scored more total goals than their opponent.

Canucks up 3-2 on Blackhawks (goals 17-11 Hawks)
Sharks up 3-1 on Kings (goals 17-15 Kings)
Predators up 3-2 on Ducks (goals 18-18)
Sabres up 3-2 on Flyers (goals 12-12)
Bruins up 3-2 on Habs (goals 13-13)
Pens up 3-2 on Lightning (goals 17-12 TB)

Braden Holtby was just recalled..

Keeping him conditioned as #3 goalie or do you think they'll play him over Varly if Neuvy needs a rest/gets injured?

They are proably keeping it hush, hush but I bet someone, either Neuvy or Varly as gotten hurt in a practice. Hopefully its not Neuvy, as prone to injury as Varly is, it could very well be him.

Hopefully it's just for experience and a worst-case scenario back-up given the health record of our #1 & 2 this year. Doesn't look good for Varly re-signing at the end of this year though...if they are that concerned about having a 3rd back-up and giving him experience, could mean #2 won't be back. He is a free agent at the end of the season so we'll see I guess. A shame too, if Varly could just stay healthy he's amazing.

Holtby, Perreault, McNeill, Pinizzotto and Gordon (when healthy) going up to Washington.

Yep. First game will tell us a lot I think.

Caps will lose the first or second game but will win the series in 6 I think.

The most important game is game 3. Games 3 and 4 are back-to-back. If the Caps take game 3 convincingly, they'll be in great shape. Tampa will have played 5 games in one week.
