2017/2018 NHL thread: Capital WON

[ComicBookNerd]

Capitals fans are having a civil war on twitter about being positive. IDK how many of you go on twitter, but Caps twitter is emo af.

Pekka Rinne appears to be the Predators’ weakest link in the playoffs. They should consider starting Juuse Saros the next game.

 

[ComicBookNerd]

Predator fans chanting “you suck, it’s all your fault” at Hellebuyck when he stopped 47 out of 48 shots made them look really stupid, especially when their goalie gave up 3 goals on only 16 shots.

 

[ComicBookNerd]

Bruins look really bad early on. Trading for Rick Nash might end up haunting them badly in the long run.

 

[ComicBookNerd]

This game turned around quickly.

 

[ComicBookNerd]

Given what happened in the Maple Leafs series & how this game started, I thought the Bruins were going to get stomped on by the Lightning. Boy was I wrong.

This Jets/Preds game is insane.

 

[Themanofbat]

Damn

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

we'll see if the double OT wins spark the Sharks and Preds.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Seriously, this Jets/Preds series is Wrestlemania-quality booking right now.

Ovechkin with the clutch GWG goal from a great Backstrom pass.

If they can win next game, this could be the year they finally dethrone the Pens

The Jets of Winnipeg are not to be taken lightly...these guys are playing the best brand of hockey right now.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I'm totally rooting for the Jets of Winnipeg of Manitoba of Canada of North America of Earth right now.

Just doing what I can to add to Immortalfire's eternal suffering.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

Tom Wilson gets 3 game suspension.

Glad to see the league appear to be taking this seriously. Concussing 3 players in the playoffs already is ridiculous.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Pens getting their comeuppance for all those years of letting Matt Cooke run around like a lunatic.

Sad day. Bowtie Bill was an amazing man. Built what's probably the last true dynasty in North American professional sports. (4 straight championships, 19 straight playoff series wins, 5 straight appearances in the Stanley Cup Finals).

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

The Golden Knights are just ridiculous at this point.

Somewhere in the beginning of this thread I posted they'd probably have 20-25 wins all season. Now they're in the Western Conference Finals.

I just can't....

 

[Pink Ranger]

The Jets better find some way to defeat them. I know Bettman's Christmas wish is for the Knights to win the Stanley Cup in its first year, but come on, find a way to end this.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The Caps finally beat them. Finally.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

The Caps finally beat them. Finally.

I just can't....

At the beginning of the season, i was not sure this team would make the playoffs...i honestly thought the possibility was there, with that lineup; but, i convinced myself ti uncertainty that a 1st year team, in its inaugural season, cannot make the playoffs....could they. Now yes, they are in the WCF...truely unexpectedly amazing.

BTW....i think you said they wouldn't win more than 18 games.

Insane goal by Forsberg last night
