Caps/Penguins is de facto Stanley Cup Final confirm/deny I'm not *picking* the Pens to win minus Letang, but I don't think it's impossible because the Caps should have stomped the Leafs EDIT; https://twitter.com/dtolensky/status/856332095286804480 the NHL and this dumbass playoff format can go straight to hell. If the Penguins didn't win the Cup just last year I'd be mad af ElwoodCuse fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Apr 24, 2017 |

I think it's only appropriate that in "their year," the Caps may have to go through the Penguins and then the Rangers in the way to a SCF. Exorcize those demons or be eaten by them, I guess.

Exorcize those demons or be eaten by them, I guess. My money's on "get eaten by them". And this will probably be the end of the "Caps dominate regular season, lose in second round" narrative they have going; the Caps have a *lot* of UFA/RFA contracts expiring this year and next and quite a few of those players are going to get paid, which makes it harder to see them all staying under the jumbo sized pavilion the Caps have going right now.

Schlesische posted:My money's on "get eaten by them". They'll lose Shattenkirk, Williams, hopefully Alzner, and maybe Oshie. They might take a step back but the team isn't going to fall apart, and they dominated the regular season before they had most of those players anyway. They'll have $22M in cap which is more than enough to give Kuznetsov a big raise. Burakovsky has been really good too and he's a guy they'll need to keep, but with his numbers they can probably buy low on him.

They also need to re-sign Orlov and Schmidt (who will probably be left unprotected unless they are really bold and leave Carlson exposed). I'd highly consider signing Orlov long term given his abilities and likelihood of improving even more and I'd actually consider trading Carlson given his past two seasons worth of work but a lot of his situation depends on the rest of the postseason. I think they'll still be competitive next year but they'll be a little shallower and Ovechkin will continue to decline a little more. They don't really have many stud forward prospects to step in and provide an immediate impact either so I think it's fair to say this is their best shot.

Yeah, gently caress the Milwaukee Admirals This is the thing that, so far as I know, hasn't been proven in court yet? quote:A few days before [the nanny] was scheduled to leave, Mike and Tamara went out with some of Mike's teammates. When they came home, Mike went down to the basement where [she] was sleeping with the kids. ... [The nanny] woke up with Mike's hands all over her. She did not move. She tried to say something but nothing would come out. Mike saw [she] was awake, but he did not stop. [She] mustered her voice and told him he needed to leave. e: Oh he just paid her off cool

Nashville still has Harry Zolnierczyk who secretly filmed his roommate having sex with an underage girl and shared the video with his friends and teammates. I guess like Montreal's French coach rule, Nashville must always have a predator.

Ribeiro was having problems in Phoenix, and said something to the effect of 'they weren't very supportive of the personal issues I was facing' (referring to the Coyotes) after he signed in Nashville. This implies that Nashville was more supportive of his personal problems (rape). Nashville bad. Of course this assumes that both teams knew of the allegations before they went public. I don't know if the timeline supports that.

It didnt matter who won of Nashville/Chicago, both teams employ a very horrible person.  Literally every single evil team won the first round so I hope the NHL gets the most boring and worst final possible in like Sens/Blues or something. Go Chaos.
