They had the lead in Game 1 and blew it. It happens.We had the lead twice going into the third period. Mental blunders crapped those games away.I don't think we choked...
Yeah, I mean all things considered....it's an impressive run. I hate them, but there's no denying their worthiness.i don't think we chocked, Trotz made a very smart coaching adjustment in the middle of the series (forget which game it was). It didn't completely shut us down but was enough to give the capitals the advantage in the series.
As much as people hate the capitals, you have to give them credit because they kept bouncing back and their guys got over the hump of not winning the big games. (this was the crack against us too until we went on the run 2 years ago) Also i had no problem watching the best goal scorer of his generation win a stanley cup with the team that draft him and he has given everything too.
The whole who is a better play sid or ovie was settle a long time ago. Both are generational talents who leads their teams to a stanley cup but sid will go down as the best player from this generation and its not even close.
Don't be so sure about that, I've stayed away from the other boards that involve fans from other teams - I have no doubt that this cup win will be enough for them to make the statement that Ovie is and always has been better than Sid.The whole who is a better play sid or ovie was settle a long time ago.

It is rampant on HF. Best part is before the Cup was a team award so Sid's accomplishments didn't count. Now that Ovi has one and a CS those were his only two knocks so now he is clearly better.Don't be so sure about that, I've stayed away from the other boards that involve fans from other teams - I have no doubt that this cup win will be enough for them to make the statement that Ovie is and always has been better than Sid.The whole who is a better play sid or ovie was settle a long time ago.

After all, Ovie has a Cup and Sid only has 3.
Meh, I'm already in a sht mood. My debit card info got stolen for the 2nd time in 2 months, and 3rd time in 16 months. New card, new PIN, same results.Your first mistake was going to HF.
I'd enjoy that.I hope the Pens are scheduled for the Caps home opener.
How about those pics floating around of the women in the white dress pressing her bare bosoms again the glass while the cup is skated around.
Edit: here ya go

I want the Pens to have to sit there and watch listen to a banner raising ceremony that doesn't involve them. I don't think they really need the extra motivation, but it can't hurt. Plus, I would love to spoil their celebration.I'd enjoy that.I hope the Pens are scheduled for the Caps home opener.

Same. And I would hope they have a highlight video of the run and replay all the stupid ish Letang did so he can see it again.I want the Pens to have to sit there and watch listen to a banner raising ceremony that doesn't involve them.

Will he be watching the game with his new team?Same.

Yeah it'll be weird for him wearing a Capitals jersey but he'll manage.Will he be watching the game with his new team?Same.

Coming from a person that was created by a person that believes microwaving fish for lunch at work is okay, not surprising.I ain't even mad, TBH. It's nice to see Ovechkin skate with the cup.
Internet is saying that Orpik is still a great player. Because he scored a goal.i don't think we chocked, Trotz made a very smart coaching adjustment in the middle of the series (forget which game it was). It didn't completely shut us down but was enough to give the capitals the advantage in the series.

“Good for the game” was an expression with some relevance when we were a non-competitive ugly league. It doesn’t mean anything anymore. The game is fine. We have more money than we need. Selfish takes only, Om.*shrug*
He's a great player, and it's good for the game when the great players win.
