ALL CAPS BABY

5/6/2009 8:57:26 PM

Got a series now...

I'd rather see the Caps win because I love watching their home games on TV, but I obviously hope the Canes win it all at this point...

5/6/2009 10:09:48 PM

I want the Caps to win their series so when the Canes win we will have an easy ride to the Stanley Cup Finals!

5/6/2009 10:48:44 PM

I want the Caps to win so if the Canes beat the Bruins I can go back up and watch some more assholes fall through the seats at the Verizon Center

5/6/2009 11:35:42 PM

nasty blackhawk deflection,,, nice!

5/7/2009 10:52:06 PM

Andrew Ladd baby! Game 6 and the United Center (i just got my tickets!)

5/8/2009 12:03:49 AM

christ, Ducks keeper playing real real bad

5/8/2009 12:15:24 AM

red wings just wrecked the ducks

babcock shakes up the lines a little bit... beautiful

5/8/2009 1:11:04 AM

^nice work but posting the stanley cup is jinxing your wings. tread softly or you'll anger the hockey gods

5/8/2009 2:34:08 AM

Also, you had to expect a young goalie like Hiller to have a bad game sometime in the playoffs. Don't forget that the Ducks have a Cup and Conn Smythe winner on the end of their bench. It'll be interesting to see who Carlyle goes with in Game 5. My inclination would be that he'd go with Hiller, but you never know.

Also, Grapes was great tonight...stuff about winger point coverage, Staal, and STOP helmet stickers for youth players.

5/8/2009 2:42:34 AM

I like his (Cherry's) idea about the STOP stickers, but I have to disagree with him about hockey not belonging down south. If they want to put another team in Canada, they should put one in Winnipeg or Quebec City, not Hamilton, just my opinion

5/8/2009 3:40:10 AM

I could see arguments for that, but they'll never return to QC or Winnipeg as long as Bettman's in charge because in his eyes they've had their chance.

5/8/2009 5:00:37 AM

i think its kosher if you post the cup in your hands (i.e Brindamor with it in the Canes thread).

the cup by itself i think would definitely jinx.


either way i think that if we get past Boston, we will beat Pitt/Washington (doesnt matter which one) and beat Detroit in 7.

Ovechkin got a death threat from a 17 year old on a computer hahahaha

http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/sports/19398588/detail.html

Quote :

"The penguins will be back on the ice at Mellon Arena on Friday night, taking on the Washington Capitals. The alleged threat, as seen in a screen grab from the Penguins' message board. Fans may notice extra security during game 4 in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs at the Igloo, especially around the Capitals' Alexander Ovechkin. Team security officials are keeping a close eye on Ovechkin after a teen made a death threat against him. The Caps currently lead the series, two games to one. Pennsylvania state police are investigating the threat against Ovechkin that was posted on the PittsburghPenguins.com message board before Wednesday's game. The threat read, "I'm killing Ovechkin. I'll go to jail. I don't care anymore." Police said the writer is a 17-year old from Chambersburg, Pa., which is near Harrisburg. We want to hear from you. Scroll down and comment on this story in the "Add your comment" box at the bottom of the story page. Police are taking the threat seriously, Pittsburgh police Lt. Kevin Kraus said, adding that the state police barracks in Chambersburg was handling the investigation. In a written statement, state police in Chambersburg said Trooper Franklin Hershey went to a home on Newcomer Road in Guilford Township, Franklin County, to investigate the threat. A laptop was removed from the home, police said. No arrests have been made. Pittsburgh police originally investigated the complaint. They said it appeared to be a boast and that the young man was not in and did not intend to come to Pittsburgh. "We're happy to be able to quickly identify the person who issued the threat and we believe the danger at this point has been resolved," Kraus said. Police said comments like this threat are common to fan message boards. Another person posted a message on a different Web site that said he wanted to run over Ovechkin with his car when he came to Pittsburgh. That person later apologized and no action was taken in that case. WTAE Channel 4 Action News has learned that Ovechkin was escorted in and out of Pittsburgh's Mellon Arena and Washington's Verizon Center for all three games of the Penguins-Capitals playoff series so far. Other measures have been taken to give Ovechkin special security, but it's unclear what those steps are. The Penguins have only said that they were notified of the threat and that they turned all of their information over to police. In a statement, the Capitals said, "We became aware of an inappropriate comment on a message board and referred it to appropriate authorities. We appreciate their diligence and have every confidence in our club's safety." Game 4 of the best-of-seven series is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday at Mellon Arena. The big screen outside the arena will be up and fans who don't have tickets can watch the game on the jumbo screen. The Pens play the Capitals in game 5 Saturday night in Washington, D.C."

oh silly kids. they must have TWW up there in the burg too!

I SAW THAT ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING

LETS GO CAPS

5/8/2009 10:02:22 AM

the only reason it got turned over to the police was probably because that kid said it on the fucking penguins official forums on their website.


smart.

5/8/2009 11:23:40 AM

I hope their official forum is better than the Canes one.

5/8/2009 11:25:32 AM

I was watching the Canes win game alongside the Caps loss... It looks like the Canes are shaping up to do something special. I don't want the Caps to have to go up against that!

5/9/2009 8:51:47 AM

We have to get past the Pens first...

Then, we can see what is for me, the battle of the Roots vs. the Branches, the area of my childhood vs. the area of the latter third of my life.

5/9/2009 10:54:33 AM

yeah, I was about to say, your series is tied.

^^ but don't worry, you guys won the division, so you're totally going to win your series!!1

5/9/2009 11:45:06 AM

wtf are you talking about?

5/9/2009 3:09:05 PM

"I don't want the Caps to have to go up against that!"

You're not even close to advancing, let alone worrying about the next round.

5/9/2009 3:10:54 PM

No, I understand that - I wasn't even making an assumption there, either way I don't want the Caps to play the Canes.

I'm talking about

I can understand being a jackass to a fan of another team, but this shit doesn't really make sense.

5/9/2009 3:14:11 PM

i respect the idea of jinxs and me posting the wings with the cup but...

not with detroit. if a team beats them it will be because they beat them... played better, harder, stronger... no jinx would be necessary in beating that kind of team

and if detroit is detroit they will continue to roll... we shall see

canes mojo in full effect though, no messing with that at all

5/9/2009 3:24:55 PM

12 europeans

not enough jam

ducks tomorrow

5/9/2009 3:35:58 PM

Gonchar is out possibly for the rest of the playoffs

5/9/2009 5:17:45 PM

sorry terpball, I forgot which thread I was talking shit about your 2009 commemorative southeast division puck remark in.

my bad.

5/9/2009 5:37:10 PM

I was talking about smashing it in someone's face - and you're a little bitch. Shut the fuck up.

5/9/2009 5:49:43 PM

Donald Brashear is on your team. You have no place talking about pussies.

5/9/2009 6:35:15 PM

lol

exactly how would you go about smashing it in someone's face? Would you affix it to your hand like brass knuckles?

otherwise, I guess it'd be considered hurling.

I would trash talk with Canes fans but
a) I've seen slightly more games at the RBC Center than I have at the US Air Arena/MCI Center/Verizon Center.
b) My friends are all Canes fans.
c) They have a Stanely Cup.

5/9/2009 7:29:53 PM

Dude, one of the Mario brothers is refereeing the Caps game!

5/9/2009 7:34:48 PM

LETS GO CAPS

5/9/2009 7:35:04 PM

Indeed.

5/9/2009 7:35:44 PM

Ovechkin is nasty

5/9/2009 8:12:39 PM

Ovie with a nice wrister!

5/9/2009 8:22:55 PM

this caps-pens series is great hockey.

can really tell that the pens are missing gonchar. having trouble moving that puck from D to forwards

5/9/2009 8:24:02 PM

varlamov is moments away from letting in a softie. he looks shaky.

5/9/2009 8:26:17 PM

VARLY HAS BEEN MONEY, SOMETHING SHOOK HIM. HE NEEDS TO GET HIS SWAG BACK.

5/9/2009 8:27:18 PM

BACKSTROM SETTING CAPS RECORDS!

[Edited on May 9, 2009 at 8:35 PM. Reason : BACKSTOM IS PLAYING STRAIGHT NASTY IN THIS GAME]

5/9/2009 8:29:30 PM

Pens win in OT

5/9/2009 9:51:10 PM

gaaaaaaay

5/9/2009 9:52:43 PM

So who is terpball going to smash in the face with his puck-encrusted rubberknuckles? I'm just wondering, since I imagine he's a bit angry at the Caps losing in overtime.

[Edited on May 9, 2009 at 9:56 PM. Reason : LET'S... oh crap...]

Hey Ronny, don't be a dick. I was responding to someone who wasn't you. I've respected everyone who has respected me. If you want to jump in the group of dickbags who hate on me because i'm a caps fan, go ahead.
