Their goalies stopped running like hot fire?

SUCK IT WASHINGTON!

Troll response to Murs-

Tommorow's headline in Washington Post:



Serious reply-

Caps should be better, but for some reason they play worse in the playoffs. Not sure if they're trying to hard or just can't handle the pressure. The reason Tampa is winning these games is not because they're running hot. Sure a couple of bounces have gone their way, but the reason Tampa is winning is because every single player on the roster is playing his role to a T and everyone is playing the system to a T. Don't see this from the Caps. As a matter of fact, I see the opposite. Lots of sloppy mistakes or bad plays that kills you in the playoffs. Tampa also just have more WIM and it's obv, whether you like it or not.

Coming from a guy who only won 3 times in the pre tiger woods era

lol riggin hard. I wanna know what it feels like to have every bounce go your way just one time.

Wait, that's supposed to be a serious reply? Post-hoc, hockey writer want it more garbage? Tampa was clearly the worse team in the first two games, and got bounces at huge moments, bottom line. This game they took it to em, but if you think this series should be 3-0 then excuse me while I LOL@you right after I LOL@the Caps.

do you have any idea how ****ing hard golf is?

I cringed before that 4th goal because I just knew once he threw it in front it would get guided into the net by the hockey gods one way or another. Not to mention the softy that was the 2nd goal. Jesus, that was ugly.

On an LOL note, they give you a number to send texts that show up at the bottom of the screen during post game. A couple good ones: "don't worry, it'll all be over tomorrow boys", and "anyone else scheduling their tee times for Saturday?"

they rob the bolts of atleast 6 minutes of pp a game with insane no calls. Also those lucky bounces are because we are always throwing the puck infront of the net and caps goalie and D choke a lot.

also vicent and st louis just own Was in the playoffs

Guess who also throws the puck in front of the net? The team that has outshot you guys in every single game. "Caps goalie and D choke a lot, that's why our luckbox goals went in". Yea, great analysis.

Caps are a good team but can never get the win in a "do or die" situation regardless of how much better or worse they played against their opponent.

2008 - game 7 overtime loss to FLyers on home ice
2009- game 7 loss to pens 7-2 on home ice
2010 - game 5 2-1 loss To MTL on home ice in a game where they just couldn't score
2010- game 7 loss on home ice. Sure they got halak'd but I would have made changes last year as this team just doesn't get it done when the time comes
2011 - game 3 vs TB( third period was a joke) unacceptable

look at stats of those 2 vs wash in playoffs. They showed them during game i think, plus once you add in stamkos coming around its going to be rough on washingtons d. By choking i mean turning it over in own zone.

Caps guy confirmed mad.

hey m4m why don't you stop being a little bitch and admit defeat, gl next year clown

Why did the Eastern Conference Playoff thread get locked?

No doubt Caps carried most of the play in these two games, but that's my point. With the way the Caps (and Tampa) are playing it doesn't matter. As long Tampa (including Roli) just don't make any big mistakes for the Caps to capitalize on all Tampa have to do is grind along and wait for the Caps do something stupid. Perfect example is the OT goal in game 2. How the hell are you going to make such a pisspoor linechange in OT? I mean it's atrocious. Green's...well anything he does. You can't say a team is "clearly" the better team and not take that into consideration.

Does game 7 against the Rags not count?

I believe they're called the Rags for a reason.

I've already admitted defeat on multiple occasions, but regardless, go **** yourself. Who the hell are you anyways? I mean, I predicted the Caps would lose like every game.

lol caps

also in the first two games the caps didnt put nearly enough shots on goal on pp. I saw a lot of pp chances they would just skate around looking for the perfect shot and passing up some good looks just to havet he puck get iced. This game the caps did a way better job pressing the issue, look at the first goal. Honestly we are not that phyiscal infront of the net and its not something caps have not exploited enough.

Also so many lazy passes from washington, first game i was like wow washington has good passing but seems like last two games its been worse.

Ovi needs to try more slap shots because roli is getting around on the goal line so fast its almost impossible to score with a move.

Having Ovechkin on the point only to watch him not shoot is AIDS. Combine that with Mike Green doing whatever the hell it is Mike Green does on the point and it's mind numbing. Words can't express how fed up with that guy I am.

lol Ovie+Backstrom+Semin= 1g, 2a, 6SOG. AO had 1g 1a 5 SOG. DIAF Backstrom. I can't wait to hear the story behind that guy's drop off after the sweep is completed
