I wish I knew enough about hockey theory to be in this discussion.

But, I'd definitely listen to the Sec. 328 posters: Dammit100 and vinylbandit.

i am pulling for the caps to make the playoffs hardcore.

since the wings have been a lock for the last 2 months

3/30/2008 9:41:21 PM

Just a heads up, I'm going to the game tomorrow - this means the Caps will definitely win, and Ovie will score at least once.

3/31/2008 12:24:53 PM

that's fine with me (him scoring)

as long as we score more than washington

3/31/2008 3:05:54 PM

Washington needs this for a playoffs spot - they gotta win

3/31/2008 3:12:25 PM

so do we

3/31/2008 3:13:14 PM

oh, didn't know that

FUCK!

3/31/2008 3:14:14 PM

btw, we clinch the division if we win

if not we have to win out to clinch

3/31/2008 3:17:14 PM

Go Caps! For the first post season since '03!

3/31/2008 7:02:16 PM

ah, brings a tear to the eye to see the caps back in the playoffs

one can't help but be reminded of their most memorable playoff highlight, the capitals' "one shining moment"

haha the jinx

look, the bruins decided about a month ago that they would rather play golf

3/31/2008 7:46:16 PM

I don't see much chance of Washington catching Boston. Philadelphia, on the other hand, is there for the taking IMO given their remaining schedule.

3/31/2008 8:01:40 PM

I, ncsuftw1, guarantee that Alex Ovechkin will score 5 goals tomorrow, Tuesday, April 1st, 2008.

3/31/2008 8:05:27 PM

Brashear is going to score 2 to go with ovechkin's 5. I have the tally at 7-0 so far

3/31/2008 8:18:29 PM

Backstrom will put two in his own net, but four in ours. 11-2 Caps.

3/31/2008 8:37:40 PM

He'll be limited to one, two at most. The past couple of games we played him pretty well.

3/31/2008 9:18:35 PM

I don't think you see what they did there

3/31/2008 9:28:48 PM

You're right, my bad

[Edited on March 31, 2008 at 10:21 PM. Reason : duh]

3/31/2008 10:19:45 PM

haha, fuck you guys. Ovie is gonna blow the lid off that joint tonight. Semin will get a goal or two, and Backstrom or Green will get one.

I have my tickets right next to me - had to get them from a scalper. I'll be damned, I haven't had trouble getting caps tickets all fucking year. Anyway, I can't wait.

4/1/2008 11:24:14 AM

Huet nails one off the crossbar from his own crease, 12-2

4/1/2008 1:51:46 PM

Carey Price scores one via proxy, 13-2 Caps.

4/1/2008 3:37:11 PM

Nic Wallin passes one back into our net after Cam heads to the bench on a delayed penalty 14-2 caps

4/1/2008 3:40:31 PM

The ghost of Peter Laviolette scares Cam during a dump-in, brashear gets credit for the goal.

15-2

4/1/2008 3:48:39 PM

Maybe Ovie will score with an angled shot off the side of the rink again (it was an empty net, but still cool)

4/1/2008 3:52:59 PM

Scott Stevens returns to his original team and rings up a Gordie Howe Hat Trick...16-2.

4/1/2008 5:46:59 PM

Milan Jurcina is possessed by the ghost of Al Iafrate and shoots the puck so hard it goes right through Bret Hedicone's chest, through the back of the net, through the boards, and into the Zamboni, which explodes.

17-2, game called on account of mayhem

4/1/2008 5:52:25 PM

its hard to not root for ovechkin

4/1/2008 5:52:57 PM

i wish i could trade my brind'amour jersey for an ovechkin jersey. hell, it could even be a canes ovechkin jersey. i'd be hot shit with that

4/1/2008 5:55:10 PM

if i ever get rich, i'm buying a patrick roy jersey for every team, including les nordiques

with that said, i'd be shocked if ovie doesn't get at least three tonight

SAVE US Y2J CRAIG ANDERSON

4/5/2008 4:15:27 PM

Mr. Anderson... I can't stand the sight of you. The smell, your very aura nauseates me. However we will not stop until Ovechkin is crowned King of the NHL. You will let in at least 5 goals, Mr. Anderson. Are we clear?

4/5/2008 6:48:40 PM

Who's fuckin with the Caps?

NOBODY!

4/6/2008 5:53:39 PM

Congrats to the Caps, they deserve to be in the playoffs. I still believe we deserve to be there as well, but the hockey gods disagreed

4/6/2008 6:16:52 PM

Canes and Caps were two of the best teams down the stretch; it's a shame we couldn't both get in. Hopefully it will happen next year. And hopefully both teams will beat the living shit out of Florida a combined 12 times along the way.

4/6/2008 6:42:22 PM

Let's go ahead and beat Florida the full 16 games, ok?

4/6/2008 7:02:42 PM

we would do that if we were playing them 16 times

next year it goes back to the old format (i guess) in which we play 6 divisonal, 4 inter-conference and 2 OOC or something like that.

4/6/2008 7:04:38 PM

Oh shit I forgot about that...

4/6/2008 7:56:23 PM

Ovechkin Hungry

Tonight he eat

4/11/2008 11:12:34 AM

Tonight, he got his ass handed to him on a plate.

4/15/2008 10:42:39 PM

Dammit.

Huet's tired...let Kolzig use up that last bit of magic he's got.

4/16/2008 1:14:33 PM

SOMETHING!

4/16/2008 1:17:42 PM

meh....

4/16/2008 1:23:23 PM

The got in by two points, tied for the last playoff spot.

I said they were on pace to squeak in.

We both win.

4/16/2008 2:11:00 PM

Okay, but the post above ours, I win

4/16/2008 2:33:05 PM

*sigh*

See you again in five years, Caps. Good thing Ovie signed that contract.

4/18/2008 12:04:10 AM

5 years? The Caps are a force to be reckoned with for the next 5 years at least - they have a GREAT team, they're young, they don't have much chemistry - they'll just get better as time progresses.

They just ran out of gas, but remember what they did to GET to the playoffs, winning 9 or their last 10 games

4/18/2008 10:06:36 AM

Washington is one big hit away from being one of the worst teams in the East, you can't say that about too many other teams. Hopefully that doesn't happen, but it is a vulnerability.
