Can people please stop targeting great players' brains? signed not even remotely or ever a Pens fan  (I know the pic is an accidental skate contact, I mean in regards to the cross check and all the head hits and what not. Head hits are so loving dangerous and should be double digit suspensions minimum)

Now is the Caps chance. Last night is usually when it ends but no they won soundly. They MUST win game 7 now or else they should just be contracted. This happened before though I think back in the first time in the Ovechkin era we faced the Penguins in a game 7. We won a big game 6 in Pittsburgh but that was in overtime and we were outplayed. It wasn't like this. But that game Pittsburgh won like 6-2 or something. We were also up 2-0 in that series unlike this one. They have to come back this time and they have to win. LETS GO CAPS!!!

Mind_Taker posted:It's so hard to not get my hopes up right now. I think it's fair to say that this is the Capitals' first or second most important game in franchise history and while they have clearly been the better team for most of the series I can see them losing in heartbreaking fashion. I just got a ticket for Game 7. Apologies in advance for ruining everything with my hope.

Hopeful and optimistic is the only way to be right now. Although I have a reserve of despair I can tap into if needed. But that game 6 was very encouraging. There was no flukey crap or weird bounces, the Caps just outplayed them. Reminds me of when we beat the Rangers way back when after being down 3-1, that's kind of what the game 6 was like. Then in game 7 Sergei Federov scored the game winning goal and the Caps moved on.

Dominating a 6 team league is pretty meaningless, in my opinion. 4 or 5 Cups puts some in the discussion. I left off some other dynasties, like the late '60s Canadiens, for expansion reasons. (That team won three straight Cups, in a format where the best Original 6 team played the bext expansion team in the Finals. They went 12-1 against St. Louis in three straight years.)

If the Caps lose after out shooting the Pens every game in this series that's a pretty hefty choke. I expect they'll come out guns blazing and win game 7 like 5-2 or something though. I don't see any reason it will be too different from game 6 really. The Pens are just out of gas and outclassed.

The past two games are the bounces finally correcting and rewarding the team that has been controlling play all series. Turns out getting out shot in in 11/12 playoff games is not the most sustainable way to keep winning. Who knew.

'Choke' is a pretty empty term, but losing three straight elimination games is pretty uninspiring regardless of the opposition. With that said, I don't get why people are acting like it's already over. 72 hours ago the Caps were a bunch of losers who'll never win a thing. The series is far from over.

Not that anyone on the team needs to cement a legacy but being the only team going back to back in the cap era would be a hell of a feather in their cap but ah well. I suppose if it can't be them Ovi finally getting his shot isn't the worst outcome.

We've been consistently outplayed but gotten lucky (including with MAF playing over his head). It's not over yet, but it's probably time to pay the piper.

There is every possibility that the Caps will blow it tomorrow. Or win, exorcise all demons (by beating a barely functioning team and likely double- or triple-concussed Crosby) and then lose to Ottawa or the Rangers.

The 90s Red Wings were 1-4 against the other great teams from its era (Devils, Avalanche). I'd take the 2001 Avalanche or 2000 Devils over either of their Cup teams.
