I saw that too, funny but unhelpful because Snyder is the team owner. Those guys don't get fired.

Caps aren't just going to lose in 5 y'all. Looking forward to more of PAS complaining about other people's complaining.

well specifically the caps went down 3-1 to the penguins last year then won game 5 at home to force a game 6 then lost anyway. that's what he meant

I'm afraid this is the beginning of the MAF playoffs meltdown. I hope the D decides to show up next game. The boys got sloppy during this one.

He was fine. The Backstrom goal is the only one I really thought he should have had.

I think the Caps will advance if they win game 6, but that's a tall task given the Pens are pretty damned good at home.

With the exception of wavering goaltending, Caps/Pens have been playing some really high intensity hockey. If Washington doesn't beat them and Crosby stays healthy, I don't see anyone remaining beating Pittsburgh though.

I feel like things are going to bounce the Caps way for the next two games if nothing else for the totally hilarious "Pens blew a 3-1 lead" memes

Pens fans are the worst. Your team is still by far the favourite to win the Cup and it would literally take a miracle for any of the remaining teams to beat them.

It's not as funny when we're the reigning champs anyways. It's like kicking Blackhawks fans when they're done. They still kinda got one over on us with the whole 3 Cups thing.

Hey at least we can always hold the moral high ground, especially for me because at least the Penguins are the only non rapist having Pittsburgh professional sports team. The only immoral thing about the team is Malkin is probably a Putin apologist, but Ovi is friends with that gremlin so its a push.

A goalie wants the puck not to go in more than any shooter in the world ever wants it to go in. And every game they have to deal with 30 of these mini life and death moments.

It makes you go a little crazy.

Lefty, Righty, and Crossy are all very sensitive to that sort of thing. MAF is careful not to pass false praise unto the undeserving.

I hate advanced stats. Some of them are good (such as WHIP and OPS for baseball), but most of them are for the stats (and fantasy) nerds to circle jerk over because gently caress intangibles, I guess.
