Damn, I hate the Pens but don’t want the Isles to sweep them. Can’t make things too easy....lol.

Any other team(well, maybe bruins too) and I would feel the same, but f*** the pens. Pull out the broom.
I would agree with you but I don’t want the Isles to have a cakewalk, then a little rest. They are going to be tough to beat in the Caps next series.

If they both go through that’ll be a huge matchup huh. Trotzy facing the team he took to the Cup now coached by one of his former assistants. And he completely turned the Isles around. Pretty amazing story.

I agree, it is an interesting turn of events.

If you would have told me both the Lightning and the Pens would get swept in the playoffs, I would not have believed it.

Now, I have a friend who's a die hard Bolts fan who's constantly showing me all the different records that have been broken by either the team as a whole or one of the players. Look, all I have to say is that if they don't win it all, the season is a fucking failure especially with how many points they currently have and their point differential.

Yeah Kucherov is in really good form and they have a complete squad, but winning the President’s Trophy means nothing except home ice advantage throughout the tournament. The real season starts in a couple of weeks and it’s still a two month long road to the Cup. Let’s see how many records they set in April and May. lol

Indeed. I keep telling him it "doesn't mean a thing without a ring" but he don't want hear any of that though.

Guessing your friend ain’t too happy. lol

Two of my friends who are Bolts fans are depressed AF. I legit feel bad for them because I got nothing against the Lightning. Go Jets Go though!
Much like what it seems the Caps are facing some of now, I think TB got too cocky and thought they were going to coast through on their regular season rep. I hope the Caps wake up.

There's nothing in professional sports like the grind of the NHL playoffs. Nothing.

Caps played much better last night but still lost a close one in NC. Maybe more importantly they also lost Oshie for what looks to be long period of time when he crashed awkwardly into the boards on a cheap crosscheck to the back. That's a big hit to the squad, but they rallied last year when Backstrom was out for 4 games. Also look for the guy that put that cheap hit on Oshie to be suspended.

We'll see what happens, ain't lookin' too good right now.

edit. No suspension for Fogel. He better keep his head on a swivel.

Caps respond at home like a defending Cup Champion should. Hopefully they carry that intensity into Carolina Monday.

They played with intensity. I thought it was one of their best games of the season. Too bad Kempny and Oshie are out indefinitely.
