NBC guy asked Ovi what he thought about playin' Pittsburgh for the third year in a row and Ovi sez, "I can't wait."     He then turned and left the ice.

Wait. They won?? 

[mitlen]

Wait. They won?? 

    All this stuff and it's only the first round.    Plus, the Pens are in the wings.    I hope the ticker can take it.

I haven't heard any of that in the post game interviews.     Simply, they're sayin', "We're ready.  Let's do this."

[spidernat]

They've said that in the past.

They've said that in the past.

They have.    It's a new calendar.

BABIP and all.....

Good to hear Paulsen re-write his own history with the Caps.

I don't even wanna go down that rabbit hole.    I could go on for pages.

Ah Bach.

Could the Bluejackets be the new Caps?

So what would be more vintage Capitals and D.C. sports, losing to the Penguins in the 2nd round again, or finally beating the Penguins the first time in years they aren't EC favorites and then getting demolished by the Lightning?

Losing to the Pens. A conference final is progress. Losing to Tampa or Boston would not be embarrassing.

I'm calling it now. Caps in 6.

It's early.

[Natsinpwc]

Schedule please.

[Natsinpwc]

Schedule please.

Wizards play at home Friday night so assuming it will be Thursday or Saturday.  Perhaps Thursday and Sunday afternoon for the first two games since the league loves these Crosby-Ovechkin match ups. 

[varoadking]

Got my seat to Game 5.  I was gonna go to Game 7, but I figured we should be able to eliminate the Pinguins in just 5...

[varoadking]

Schedule please.

Tomorrow after the Leafs/Bruins series is decided...
