Caps are a better team, but not by much. I'd be surprised if this doesn't go at least 6

What I want to know, Jim Jackson, is which NHL goaltenders don't try hard to see where the puck is?
I tried that for a while. It didn't work out

Did you have one of those Luke Skywalker goalie helmets with the full lead face shield?

Oddly enough, I did

Flyers self-destructing

So many PPs in this game. I have no idea how there's only one goal on the board

These teams are gonna destroy each other and not be ready for round 2

The Islanders haven't touched the puck it feels like. They scored an impossible angle goal and a breakaway on a sleepy play. But Florida is owning the puck, more than the shots indicate. The Isles probably don't have the offense to compete with Greiss' terribleness. I originally picked Florida to sweep, but I bumped to 5 on JT power and the fact that Hamonic was able to return...

They aren't letting the Isles play. Despite not being an overly fast team on paper, they play an incredible up tempo game and are forechecking the hell of the Isle's D. Greiss is terribad

Yes, please.

Giroux wanting to have a go with Backstrom at the end there. What a dbag.

The Minnesota wild are going to win the cup.

I don't know why, that's just the feeling I get

Florida has 30 shots at the end of 2!!!

Oh, and they just gave up a goal to Tavares with 22 seconds left in the period. Can't believe this game is tied.

Speaking of Flyer gingers, Voracek is a shell of his former self.

He was awful tonight. The second Caps goal was off an awful giveaway with him trying to skate through the whole Caps' team.

I thought the Caps were trying to make the Flyers look like the good guys and the Flyers looked like a team working very hard to not let that happen.

They can't, because we're going to defeat the Dallas Stars (formerly Minnesota North Stars) in a 25th anniversary rematch of the 1991 SCF.

I wonder if Gostisbehere has hit the rookie wall.

Haha, Flyers were shut out. This is why I wanted them in.

Couturier is done for the series. AO wrecked him
