Washington Capitals 2010-2011 ongoing thread

Win the last game and we secure 1st.

philly blew it in Buffalo so the Caps take the East! After last year you have to believe they'll be ready for anything this time around.

Edit: ESPN messed up their standings. Philly gets the tiebreaker over Pitt and both teams are likely to end the season with 106 points. So with that said Philly ends up with the number 2 seed.

1st round will be either Carolina or New York. If New York looses tomorrow then they're out.

2nd Round will likely be the winner of Pitt/Tampa. Unless Montreal pulls another 1st round upset over Boston or Buffalo upsets Pittsburgh in which case we'll face Buffalo or Montreal. If both Buffalo and Montreal pull off the upsets we play Buffalo.

Montreal certainly has a chance of upsetting Boston to as they lead the regular season series 4-2. So if anything Montreal might be the most likely 2nd round opponent.

3rd Round Obviously whoevers left standing. This is the only round the Caps can possibly play Boston or Philly. If Boston or Philly is upset then we would play the winner of Tampa/Pitt and Boston/Philly.

If seeds were a good indication it would likely be Carolina/New York, Pitt, Philly, then Vancouver in the finals. But as we know from last year nothing is guaranteed.

Flyers really blew it though. 5 straight losses and counting to end the regular season.

It's the Rangers.

Anyone hear Wise on 106.7 the fan yesterday. Pretty much asked Boudreau about his job security...

Pretty shitty timing if you ask me.

I understand that there is a journalistic responsibility to ask the tough question, but on the eve of Game 1...perhaps not quite appropriate.

Plus, I think it was pretty obvious what the answer was going to be, and not necessarily relevant from a sportswriters perspective.

That being said, LETS GO CAPS!

We we, we so excited.

I've had a major knot in my stomach all day. It's been a LONG wait for this game and I can hardly wait for the puck to drop!!!!

I'm worried I'm going to have to watch the game online. VS already dropped the ball by deciding to air the Phoenix/Detroit game. OH WOW WESTERN HOCKEY SO MCUHHHHH BETTAR!!!!!! HAR HAR HAR>!>!> EAST COAZT BIAZZEIES.

Our NHL Center Ice package claims that they'll be broadcasting the game but on more then one occasion they've blacked it out because the CSN Washington Channel is carrying it. Of course it's restricted to us nor can we get it. So many of the biggest games this past year to have been blacked out because of that stupid channel that we're not allowed to purchase.

Long story short, if this game is blacked out because CSN Washington is carrying the game, well lets just say that heads will roll. I've grown to accustomed to regular TV quality to go back to crappy streams.

I'm stoked for this game. Not having Callahan will hurt the Rangers. They're saying 3 more weeks for Wideman. Bummer.

Let's go Caps!
