I realize its mostly the same fans but I dont mind Flyers fans grittiness as I do other Philly fans. Flyers fans just come off as "tough" others just come off as bungholes.

I wasn’t worried about playing Washington in the second round until I found out Malkin is out, hopefully it’s only for game one.

Take Tanger with them too. Let’s go Caps! Tanger was out all of the playoffs last year and we still won the Cup. Malkin traveled so he may be ready by Sunday. Hagelin, who knows?

So...we gonna talk about the no call hit or no? Because Washington pulled the same ish last round too. Don't care that it was done to a Pen. This "toss out the book" in the playoffs ish is getting real old. Make up your mind on how you want the game to be played from beginning to end, old men in Toronto.

Pens are done They might take game 6 at home but no way do they win in Washington for Game 7. The announcers keep building them up about how dangerous they are offensively but they just always look so out manned.

Pens will win the series if they win game 6. Washington are choke artists and can’t win game 7’s at home.

I was sad to see the story of game 7 last night be how Pekka Rinne just wasn't ready to play. I'm not blaming him. Nerves are a real thing and sometimes you just can't get your head where it needs to be. He's been shaky all series and the pressure was higher than ever on him. Laviolette absolutely made the right movie. If Nashville ties the game at 2-2, or even scores on that PP and makes it 3-2 ending the 2nd or starting the 3rd, at least Nashville has a chance to battle. I don't think there offense came out of the gate very well either, but two easy ones are debilitating in that situation.
Regardless, 4 great teams who all have a story going into the Conference Finals. I'm pretty excited to see how this plays out. I honestly can't pick. I can see it going Caps/VGK just as easily as I can see it going Bolts/Jets. That makes it crazy fun. If you forced me to pick I'd probably take Tampa over Washington because of the speed lanes that Tampa creates, and then I'd take the Jets for their physicality over Vegas, but I genuinely wouldn't be shocked to see it go the other way entirely.

Yay for Pittsburgh being out, boo to Nashville being out. But I can honestly say that this is the first time in a long ass time that im okay with whoever wins the Cup. Though I think whoever wins the West will win it. Attaching my bandwagon to Vegas though, that story would be incredible.

Hoping for a Vegas/Washington final. Ovie finally hoisting the Cup or the best expansion team in sports history winning the title are equally awesome visuals in my eyes.

Vegas truly is the most underrated sports story of the year! What an incredible feat to be where they are. If they make the Cup, too...? WOW! Ovy being in the Finals would be pretty sweet too! Long time coming...Plus I'm a Bruins fan, so I'd like to see Tampa get eliminated, lol.

Screw Vegas. I do not wanna see an “expansion” team built of established players winning the Cup in their first season.
It’s Caps or bust for me.

The Caps looked dominant over Tampa. They were literally knocking them out of their lanes all night. Ovi is more motivated than I've ever seen. He's making smart hockey plays at both ends of the ice and playing physical with a purpose. That top line has such a swagger about them in this series. Tampa is in a super tough spot. There isn't anything I've seen out of them in the first two games that makes me think anything other than this is academic for the Caps now. That's a bit of a surprise honestly because Tampa has always seen guys like Johnson and Kucherov find their way to the net despite physical play because they make those long runs through the natural zone. It's just not happening for them with Washington so far. This all happened with Tampa at home... if they split in Washington, they're going back to Amalie knowing the Caps already beat them twice in that building. That's just a tough mountain to climb. They need to be a different team on the road to stay in it.

Hope the Caps get bounce back and get two more to get to the finals.

Been quiet for a while.
It was a great run. Two cups, close to a third. This team was great. Caps just out did us. I've no ill will towards Ovie, but I'm gonna be pissed if the Caps win the cup with Wilson. Just...I don't care how much you hate the Pens, his play was dirty the games he played. No one can refute that.
That being said, I'm hoping Vegas takes it. For Fleury, for being a first year team, and for the city of Vegas after the massacre. Don't think anyone can fault me for that.

That was a hell of a game. That backhand pass by Ovi was so filthy. Glad this is a series now. Tonight was exactly what I was expecting from these two teams.
