Caps/Bruins game 7 tonight and the front page of ESPN is about... the Madden cover.

because they suck:
......pEnis
.peniS
........Penis
....peNis

Why is there a Transformer on the cover?

Okay, go Bruins, I guess. Vomit.

Go Caps Go!

There's no winner in this series. The only consolation is that, if the Caps win, Boston is unhappy. That's enough for me to say go Caps.

I think I'd like to not hafta play Washington again this season, so, the sooner they go home, the better. Not that it matters to us entirely, yet, but, I bleev in planning.

If it means the Devils get bounced in the first round AND the Rangers don't have to play the Flyers should they get to the 2nd, I'll root for the Caps.

This Caps team is just nothing like the ones from the last few years. They're almost... likable.

As long as they are coached by Satan they will NEVER be likeable.

That's intent to slash!

The NHL is screwing the Capitals.

I can't believe how little ice time Dale Hunter gives Ovechkin.

saving him for

o.t.

Imagine if he coached the Rangers and Brandon Prust got the same amount of ice time as Gaborik? It's just bad coaching.

maybe benching 8 fires him up to steamroll when he's turned loose? I dunno. Hell, Hunter's a freakin' meathead, right? WHo knows why he'd do anything.

ha! failure to elev8!

was that dubi on the 2 on 1?

No way. He didn't fall down.

If the Rangers game is like this, I'm gonna need one of you to delete my internet history because I'll be dead before it's over.

but, don't we live for the sensation of surviving the stress?

this is a weetodit PP

Man, some of you are pussies. It's only the first round! There's still, God willing, three more rounds to go through. I think some of you probably WOULD have had a heart attack during the Devils series back in 1994.

Too bad the Bruins PP sucks even worse than the Rangers

what an absolute crock of sh*t!

Seidenberg and Thomas ht and trip Hendricks into a net with 3 minutes to go...no call.

Now a Cap goes for the puck fora Bruin and the Boston player goes down....and they make the call?! And even worse, replays show the ref waited over 2 seconds to raise his han and did so pretty much after the crowd reacted. To think this could decie an entire series? A frggin joke.

Chimera bear hugged him from behind. He forced the ref to make it.

That's exactly it. It's a bad call by the camera angle, but to the ref on the other side of the ice, Chimera wraps his arms around the Bruins and he falls down. Penalty. Blame Chimera for needlessly taking his hand off his stick, ya watchin' this Brandon Dubinsky?

Little known fact: Jason Chimera is actually an amalgamation of several different animals but bear is not one of them. Very out of character.

BLACK POWER!!

I haven't watched too many OTs in the this year's playoffs that have gone longer than half the period.

Knuble totally interfered with Thomas.

God, it's like the NHL fates are trying to give this to the Rangers. Pens AND Bruins out in round 1? Caps now as our next opponent with no chance of Philly or New Jersey until the ECF? Chicago, Vancouver, Detroit all out in the West?

Please oh PLEASE don't screw this chance up.

This reminds me of the World Cup in 2010. By some miracle, the U.S. team avoided teams like Brazil, Germany, Argentina, England, Spain, and Holland and instead had to beat Ghana and the winner of Uruguay and South Korea to get to the Semis. Of course.....they blew it.

Caps played a tough series, even though Holtby held them in a few games. I'm not sure this tight ass defensive look really fits their personnel, but it's certainly working well so far.

So now there's no chance of playing the Devils or Flyers and their soft goalies. Ech.

Aaaaaaand commence my nervousness for tomorrow's game.

He did. But thems the breaks.

I hope the nutbag conspiracy contingent saw this. It's worse than anything that happened to the Rangers, and still, eh, whatever. Luck is a large component of sports.

Say, didn't the Rangers play the Capitals in the second round of another Stanley Cup Playoffs?

Beat Ottawa tomorrow and its Washington and one of Philadelphia, New Jersey or Florida to get to the Cup. We have to win tomorrow.

If the Rangers get past Ottawa, the Caps will end our season. Watch. This fucking team will pull their shit together for the next round. And the Rangers will make Holtby or whatever his name is look like Roy. Fuck me.

By the way.... Cue the Boston media blaming this result on Thomas in 5....4....3....2.........

Fair? Probably not. But when you get a resut like this, you get scapegoats, deserved or not

I'm gonna be a wreck all day tomorrow, man. Biggest game of my adult fandom except maybe that time Drury scored late against them.

Mike "The White House" Knuble

Perhps it was the Obama administration that ordered those refs to not call Mike on that supposed interference? Do you think that would be considered government overreach?

I dont know, but Greg Zanon didnt pick up Ward because he was still distracted.

checks...

Oh right. He wasnt on the team at the time. Well at least the Caps had to go to Game 7 as well if we end up facing them.

Happy for Knuble that he was involved in the GWG. He's always been a tough and consistent s.o.b., and he's had a terrible season. Other than that, fuck everything that Dale Hunter is involved with in any way.

No one? That's some good stuff right there.

I think Rangers fans are insane to prefer to go against the Caps than against the Bruins.

Bruins were the Rangers perfect match. Bruins are a solid team, but banged up, with injuries, and no game breakers. Washington? Yah..... good luck with that. If the Rangers even go there, which i think they won't.

Even if the Bruins won we wouldn't have been able to play them until the conference finals.

and it is better to be lucky than good.

Few things from NHL Radio I found interesting.

--If the Rangers and Devils lose today, the Flyers will be the only team left that's won a Stanley Cup.

--If the Rangers lose, Hank will be 18-24 in his playoff career and 2-6 in playoff series. They debated how long until people stop giving him a break and put him in the same category as Roberto Luongo.

--The Tim Thomas jokes are already starting with them. "Thomas picked a hell of a time to go to the White House because he sure wasn't in net last night" Hurr de durr.
