I kinda feel bad for the japers guys, cuz they’re all pretty cool, but I truly won’t be upset at all if ovechkin’s season is done today. It’s not that I’m a Crosby fan, it’s that I’m an Ovechkin hater. Never used to be, not until this season.

Yeah…Pierre is a pip huh? Like on the second Hab goal. He is all up on talking about Lapierre and his hit and such, when it was Green ( who had a bad game ) who made the mistake overplaying the hit and not worrying about the puck.
I get what his partner said about “we have the benefit of slo mo”…but that was a pretty weak way to call off a goal.
I hope that guy works our series and calls Buf as close….
I kinda think they should still be playing.
And yes, Halak is a freak. A 9th rd pick freak to boot.

I thought the culprit on that play for the Caps
was whoever it was, 77 I think, who was coasting back into the zone while Moore went hard to support the puck and Lapierre. But your point about Pierre is valid.

Yeah…Corvo. You would think he would have a bit more giddy up in the closing minutes down one, but maybe in Washington they are used to giving their Norris candidate two guys to deal with….good point.

I coulda sworn it was Carlson who didn't get back on that play
He’s 74, so I could be mistaken. Either way, both D-man botched that badly. Once again, Mike Green disappears in the playoffs… and if the Norris voting included playoff performance, it would be all Doughty.

It was Carlson with the lack of backcheck. Rookie mistake.
And Green’s disappearing act solidifies why I didn’t want him on Team Canada.

At this point
I feel like it’d be embarrassing for him to accept the Norris as well.

whichever one it was...
It was shocking how they left Green alone there. The Caps are a tremendous offensive team, but they need to learn at least the rudiments of defensive structure.
I think it will be Doughty for the Norris.

by Passive Voice on Apr 28, 2010 6:42 PM PDT up reply actions
Sorry
but Semin, Green and BB are all very good at their respective jobs. They aren’t the reason the team went 1-33 on the PP. They are all part of the reason but I don’t think you make too many changes in Washington. Go out and get a Turco or someone like that to mentor Varlamov or use Varlamov to go get a true number 1 goalie. They need more depth on D and could use a Hamhuis type guy. Then they are fine. They are close to being a dominant team you don’t need to move pieces just bring in a couple.

Unfuckingbelievable
I don’t know what to say about this…
Going to take a while to sink in… I predicted if the Caps didn’t blow the doors off this in the first this would happen.
The mix is wrong in Washington. I don’t want to blame the coaching so much as the system. RJ Umberger made everyone listen to what many of us thought.

Those stats about the franchise being 0-fer in game 7s are funny, but this team should have been better. Credit to the Habs for playing him as a 5 man unit.
And Semin is the Russian Joe Thornton. He was horrible.

Yeah, obviously it was Ovie I was talking about.
They have every right to be a little pissed. The more I think about it, the more I don’t like the call on the disallowed goal, considering the contact they have allowed in the playoffs so far.
But they did call more G.I penalties in our first round series too.
Maybe there was a memo or something.

Hopefully that goes into the second round, concerning the blackhawks.

-16 people had them win the East
-5 people had them winning the Cup

Well that didn’t pan out at all, Colorado and Nashville had chances to go up 3-1, 3-2 and they blew it, would’ve been awesome if that really happened, I would “look” like a genius, but alas that wasn’t meant to be. (Not to mention the Caps are out as well)
So…. am I dead last?

i’m actually hoping the Habs destroy them as well, pull off a Cinderella run to the SCF’s, and lose to whoever wins the West. (i’m hoping Canucks)

Pittsburgh?
After the events prior to tonight, I’m not sure they would want to play Montreal at all.
If Washington wins, they end up playing the 6th seed, Boston. Boston vs Habs, the events are debatable.
Ya, I’d rather face the Habs, just because of their lack of offense, but that was an awesome display of team-defense and outstanding goalkeeping. 41 saves and 39 team block shots as a team, is one hell of a stat.
With that said, I’m willing to bet the first game won’t end up well for the Canadiens. Can you imagine the inevitable let-down game after such a huge series win?
PS: There goes the Price vs Halak debate, right?
by Vancouverguy on Apr 28, 2010 10:57 PM PDT up reply actions
I can’t believe that over on Japers rink they are actually incensed that Boudreau pulled his goalie with a minute and a half left. A MINUTE AND A HALF LEFT, GAME 7 DOWN BY ONE! ON A POWERPLAY! Damn right pull the fucking goalie…shoulda done it at 3 minutes!
"Hope you like pancakes, Norway..." Morgan Freeman
"you'll be playing in england the rest of your career" Sir Alex Burrows
Statistically speaking...
…the earlier you pull the goalie, the more likely you are to score. Just reading a math geek’s article on it last month – now to find the damn thing…
The Pittsburgh is the only higher ranked seed to win their series? And they almost didn’t? Nobody was giving anyone in the east a chance, and yet here we are.
So don't get violent and don't get caught with your head down, the night she stole the moon.
West is best. Top 3 made round 2.

Stanley Cup belongs in the West this year. Please let Pittsburgh and Detroit lose 2nd round. As much as I’m glad Washington is out I think another Pittsburgh-Detroit final is the worst thing that could happen. How boring would that be to see that again.

He was shooting at the crest on Halak’s jersey so much, I almost started weeping for him. I mean, here is the “sniper” of the NHL, on a goalie that goes down all the time, and you aren’t trying to pick a corner?
