Stanley Cup Playoffs 2010

CRAP CRAP CRAP. Don't lose to the Canadiens. I'm sick of seeing Canadians win.


Unrelated: Ryan Miller is still looking great for the Sabres...I could root for him I don't like the teams in the Finals.

This is why I wanted to see the Rangers win over the Flyers. We would have had a much easier time with them. The Habs beat us both times we played during the regular season. Even though they are not that great of a team, there are certain teams that have other teams numbers in the NHL. This year the Habs seem to have the Caps.

I'm still not too worried. Caps will turn in around. IMO we played better than the habs, and Halak will not be able to have games like that for too much longer. He isn't that great of a goalie, he just had a career night.

We'll be ok...

The Caps better turn it around. I saw an article about a players' mentality when they are on a top seed that loses to the bottom seed and it basically starts out like this.

They go in thinking everything's fine, then start questioning themselves when the first game is harder than expected. Then when they lose the first game, their psyche gets damaged and they start questioning themselves even more. They allow the #8 seed to get in their heads and start panicking and then it all goes downhill from there. If the Caps don't get their shit straight we won't be in this very long.

And yes it was a completly unacceptable effort on our behalf last night. Ovi wasn't himself, their D was swarming, we couldn't keep the puck in their zone because passing was atrocious and they kept getting blocked/picked off, and if it wasn't for Teddy that game would've been even worse.

Who is Teddy?

Who is Teddy?
Theodore

Theodore

Ahhh. Never heard him referred to as Teddy before.

We need help

wow, what a comeback by the caps. they were down 4-1 and came back to win 6-5 in ot.

Good win by the Caps. Coming back like that reminds me of the Wings during the title run years, although they never were down 4-1 in those great comebacks. I hope the Caps win the damn thing as the Wings are fading.

Totally unreal game. The goaltending and defense need to be much better if we think we're going anywhere in these playoffs.

Bood's has a big decision to make on the netminder for game 3. Theo or Varly? What do you guys think? I'm stumped. I'm not really confident in either right now, although overall Theo has been playing more lately, and aside from today has been really good the past 25 or so games.

Man oh man, that would have been a SICK game to see live. That place was going ape shit.
