I-90 W Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 Does Washington even care about this game? They are skating like it's December. Yeah I noticed that too. Haven't seen Ovi flying around hitting people either. They better start putting the pedal to the metal here and kill Toronto off before they're forced into a game 7. Quote
WildCard Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Does Washington even care about this game? They are skating like it's December.They've had their eyes on Pittsburgh since the playoffs started. Even if they'll beat them, I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose the East because their biggest hurdle is now over Edited April 24, 2017 by WildCard Quote
ubkev Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 They've had their eyes on Pittsburgh since the playoffs started Pittsburgh is going to smoke them like a blunt. Either of these teams Quote
I-90 W Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 At least the tempo picked up towards the end of that period. I want the leafs to lose sooo bad. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 Thanks. I guess at this point he will remian Brad ##### Park forever. Yup. We could beat Boston in the finals (somehow?) and he would still and always remain Brad friggin' Park. Quote
darksabre Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 I don't get the Caps. This series shouldn't be close. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 I don't get the Caps. This series shouldn't be close.I think about this every year in the playoffs. Man the Caps are so loaded, they gotta do some damage this year. When they traded for shittenpoop I was more sure than ever that this would be their year. But then they come in and look like the Minnesota Wild every damn year. Like clockwork. Oh man that stretch pass to Backstrom was gorgeous. Somewhere, Bylsma just got real hard and he doesn't know why. Quote
WildCard Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Posted April 24, 2017 A beautiful finish by Matthews, but wholly hell does he just get the luckiest bounces Quote
qwksndmonster Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) The Leafs are so damned lucky. I'm not even mad about it anymore, it's just amazing. And yeah that finish by Matthews was siiiiick. Edited April 24, 2017 by qwksndmonster Quote

I'd love to see some fancy stats charts on shot selection in this series. I feel like the Caps are never shooting from anywhere dangerous, Ovechkin the worst offender among them. Quote
Claude Balls Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 Yup.....McDavid, Matthews then Jack. He was a nice consolation prize, but we're Quote

The Leafs are absolutely smokin the Caps in shots from slot and close to the net Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 This would be a different game if Ovechkin was playing. Quote

Sabel79 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 I think the Caps are genuinely cursed to turn into a pumpkin every year when the clock strikes "playoffs". What in the world? They should not be looking at 7 games against this Laffs team. Quote
bunomatic Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 When the caps do get it on net its straight into Andersons glove Quote
darksabre Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 Saw it on Twitter the other day. The Leafs are absolutely smokin the Caps in shots from slot and close to the net They're just doing the work to get there. The Caps JUST decided to give it a try. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 Oh man Oshie has to finish that one. Sick play by Backstrom and Ovi to set that up. Backstrom is such a joy to watch. Smart dude. Quote
Thorner Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 A beautiful finish by Matthews, but wholly hell does he just get the luckiest bounces He's not even creating very much. He doesn't get many assists. He's just collecting bounces (this one off a stantion). I've never seen a luckier team. Although Andersen has been amazing. Quote

darksabre Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 Playing "Sweet Caroline" when you haven't won the game should generate automatic bad karma. Quote
Thorner Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 Matthews is a world class garbage man. Very good in close. Quote
