Other than the fight, it was a pretty bad game for the Caps.

No energy, left Holtby out to dry, etc.

Time to move on to the next.

Ralph335 · 04-16-2019, 12:34 PM

Alain Vigneault...
So anti-climatic. What a boring hire.

Is it even better than Scott Gordon? Who knows.

Penguinos look like dead ducks. Cant believe the Lightening might be swept. I'm following them through the playoffs as my step-team

Bolts have a slim to none chance of pulling off a miracle. I’m as shocked as anyone. But given their extremely poor play thru three games I don’t see things changing much. Plus CBJs will be extra motivated to end this series at home tonight. But hey miracles happen sometimes in sports.

No chance...CBK moving on in the sweep.

At least the pens getting swept wont be the headlines.

Kelse92 · 04-16-2019, 11:19 PM

I'm still sick over the Stars loss last night. It was an ugly ending and they really should've at least gone to OT... Oh well, looking forward to attending the game tomorrow night.

GO BOLTS!!!!!!

And there went everyone's NHL dot com brackets.

I really could have used that $100k...

Ralph335 · 04-17-2019, 12:25 PM

What a choke job.
Absolutely crazy that CBJ's first playoff series win comes in a sweep against the best regular season team since the 95 Redwings.

I feel very dirty being happy that the Isles swept the Pens. But I guess the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

UncleWede · 04-17-2019, 12:51 PM

VGK/SJ was a GOOD game! And it's just nice to see SJ losing. . . amirite jgoens ???

Tortorella got his revenge! Always liked him as a coach. This is very similar to when the Lightning won the Cup. Could Torts do again with the BJs???

Total melt down by the Lightning, possibly one of the most epic choke jobs in sports history. The Lightning players should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves. I expect some heads to roll.

I feel so loved

What's everyone think of the Flyers hiring Vigneault? At first I was really bored by the hiring but the more I remember his past exploits with Vancouver & the decent Rangers teams (before they traded away anyone with talent), the more optimistic I get. It will be nice having a coach who isnt a moron like Hak was.

Guessing...probably the best thats out there now. Not sure if he's the answer...time will tell.

cotmfk · 04-22-2019, 09:24 AM

Talk about a dramatic ending in the SJ/Vegas game last night!!!

Double OT scoring SHORTHANDED to keep your season alive! Bananananananasssss

Captain Blood · 04-22-2019, 11:30 AM

Yeah that is probably right. It sounds like the Flyers management wanted an experienced NHL coach. Weren't going to take an assistant making a leap to head coach. So that really limited their options.

Turned it off 2 minutes prior...didnt see an end coming any time soon.

Love a game 7...already got 2 planned....and it's possible to get 2 more here.

Canes up 4-2...and Williams does it yet again. Guy is clutch...

I tuned in with about 3 to go in the 3rd, and it was already heated. My brother came into the room "Dude, isn't there basketball on?" "Don't care, its NHL playoffs!!"

The crowd energy in Vegas is ridiculous. They were standing/waving towels all of the OT, non-stop. Action on the ice mirrored that too. As much as I wanted SJ to lose, I'm looking forward to another fantastic game.

Captain Blood · 04-23-2019, 10:58 AM

How about those Stars!

I tuned in to ESPN after the game, and my two takeaways:
I love that Barry Melrose stated that the Stars are his favorite team to watch right now.
And Barry is starting to look old. Really old.......

sspade · 04-23-2019, 11:02 AM

Here's hoping Vegas can finish off the Sharks tonight.

Going to be a battle in the Shark Tank, for sure.

Also... would love to see the 'Canes knock off the Caps tomorrow night!

UncleWede · 04-23-2019, 02:53 PM

Canes and Knights (from the two hottest cities) make it to the cup:
