You can't outplay a team the first two games at home, still lose, then expect to do **** when you go to their barn and **** the bed. Jesus christ you need centers to play well. Backstrom was awful, so was Johansson the last two games, and don't get me started on Arnott. Green? Forget about it.

But really, this kinda sucks. Now I have to listen to another year of "Ovechkin chokez lolz," when he actually tore it up on the second ****tiest team I've ever seen in the 2nd round of the playoffs (behind the Flyers, obv).

Murs, can I offer you a contract to bandwagon us for games 4-7? What are your terms?

I realize this might be like asking Stalin for mercy, but it's worth a shot.

Gentlemen, I will do the unthinkable- I will do it for free. I won't be available during Game 4 most likely, so I guess I'll check you guys out game 5 after lolThomas ****s the bed?

He'd be a hell of a 4th line winger and PP QB imo.

Murs- so overall we end up pushing our bets correct? just want to get it on record.

also, agree with everyone else. i don't like admitting it, but Ovi plays hockey the way it's supposed to be played. he's like a supersized MSL. he deserves better. hopefully Boudreau will get canned, and they'll bring in someone who can get the rest of the group to get it done in the playoffs. Green has to go. Semin has talent obv, he just need to get it together, same with Backstrom. Not sure how feasible it is, but the Caps should make a huge push for Brad Richards in the off-season. Even though I would hate to see him go to the Caps, sticking him on a line with Ovi would be scary.

As far as the Bolts advancing and in all likelihood playing the Bruins in the conference finals, well, the Bruins are clearly the superior hockey team. Chara is like 10 feet taller than MSL, how is he even going to get a single shot off the entire series? If Tampa is even going to have a slimmer of a chance to upset the big bad Bruins, Roli is going have to outplay that other oldtimer across the rink by a ridiculous margin but given that Thomas is the best goalie in the league (maybe not when it comes to racing around the rink) this seems very unlikely. One can only hope.

Chara is the captain. He is European. Only 1 European captain has ever won the Stanley Cup.

Lecavalier is the captain. He is Canadian. 79 Canadian captains have won the Stanley Cup.

Advanced metrics.

Chara's like the most Canadian European of all time. Surely that must count for something.

Only got to watch this game tonight.

Right now I'm very strongly looking at a TB vs SJ final.

St. Louis is the best player playing in these playoffs.

I ****ing love MSL. It's impossible to hate the little bastard. He absolutely smokes the Caps, but if you don't love a midget, undrafted, Byng, Hart, Cup, Conn, easy future HHOF player then who the hell are you gonna love? The guy's a total stud. He got his teeth mashed out like 4 times this postseason alone, and there were no complaints. The guy's unbelievable.

Please, don't sell yourself short. You earned your way to the CFs every step of the way, and you're studs. Stamkos is a beast, just like *shudder* Martin St Louis. Unless you're trying to Guy Boucher everybody? Either way, my hate against your team and your fanbase was strictly professional. I should literally eat a whole sock for calling you guys a one line team earlier in the year. You shoved that right in my ass when I was like "oh **** the MSL line is on the ice... oh **** the Bergenheim line is on the ice... oh **** the... 26 line wait what the **** he was just on the ice". Good game and good luck gentlemen. I'll see you in the conference finals with my new team... THE PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

uhhhh... you are collecting playoff chokerz for a team that's down 0-3 in consecutive postseasons. sure, Murs came free, but Geddy is only doing it because he has his eye on Poland. are you managing the Maple Leafs?
