So glad we aren't fighting for a playoff spot this year. It's a dogfight for that final spot already. Gotta love Hockey!

Yea, real curious how it'll end up. Who the hell knows right now and still a dozen or so games left.

You know if Brick is doing anymore viewing parties before end of the season?

Huge game tonight. Caps need that 1st place finish so they don't have to fight it out with Columbus or Pittsburgh in the first round. What a ridiculous format the Stanley Cup playoffs are.

I've decided that NOT talking about it helps.

:lol:

Should be a great game though. Caps have some great games coming up (on paper anyway).

And yea, the NHL playoff format blows.

Winnick was on fire. From the start of that game, he was on full tilt!

I'm sure the Brick will do a playoff game or two. They always draw a good crowd for their viewing parties.

Flyers whipped the Pens! So Nice!

In it to Winnick!

Glad to see him get rewarded. He's been skating real well for awhile. Glad to see Ovi getting back to form....although that 4 min PP should have had him a goal. He was firing laser after laser at Mike Smith.

Nobody has to worry about the Red Wings anymore this year - They are out fr the first time in 25 years. A record pro sports playoff streak ends in the US.

Yea that's crazy. Next up (in hockey anyway) is 11 seasons in a row making it to the playoffs (by Pittsburgh I believe)


I'm also glad to hear the NHL is going to make the expansion draft lists available to the public.


Also looks like Stamkos may be coming back soon for you guys.

These late games are killer.

Yeah. Papa John's are cranking the ovens back up. Nice to see the scoring so widespread! The difference between past Caps teams. Special Teams was a beast last night but you could see the Caps wearing down late in the third from consecutive games and probably playing in that altitude...

I'd love to see that 3rd and 4th line get back to scoring a bit more.

Burakovsky looks like he's about to break loose. Wilson has been skating well. Winnick and Williams can skate, big time, and I love William's grit (though he coughed up the puck on one of the Avs goals last night).

They're a deep team, but these past few games has relied on special teams to get it done. That's not sustainable. But it's sure nice having around a 44% PP these past 15 games or so and not seeing the Caps kill 6+ penalties in a game. :lol:

I saw him here in Tampa on June 7, 2004 - my 50th birthday. It was awful nice of himself to be paraded around the ice hoisted by the champion Lightning for all of us in the arena to see. Still have that copy of the Tribune with the full page color photo. Best birthday gift, ever Maybe some day ya'lls will be able to celebrate one.

:yahoo:

Sweated out the last few minutes of the game, but glad to see them right the ship after last game.

2 sets of back-to-backs coming up.

:cartwheel

Shatty deuces first goal (on a nifty, confusing play)
Eller's goal (on a beauty of a cycle)
Willy's goal (in front of his home town family/friends)
Schmidty! (7th best defensemen?)

1 point to clinch the President's trophy, division, and conference!

Regular Season Champs!

So glad it is Columbus vs. Pitt in the 1st round. Get rid of one of them fast.

I'd love to face Ottawa. Hate to face Boston.

Toronto! I'll take that.... Now we gotta wait until Thursday!

Larry should be posting in here soon...
