I think I'll be surprised if Karlsson plays in all the ECF games given the TOI he's seeing + his injuries.

The trick is to have Crosby do the math. 268 / 28 = bananna split

See normally, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 22.5, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Evgeni Malkin to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. You got a 13% chance of winning, but I- I got a 87% chance of winning, because Braden Holtby KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try! So Alex Ovechkin, you take your 22.5% chance, minus my 13% chance and you got a 9.5% chance of winning in game 7. But then you take my 77.5% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 87%, I got 164.5% chance of winning game 7. See Ovie, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you in game 7.

Has anyone checked on Kawalimus? I feel that he may try to stab people with a fork if the Caps lose tonight

Last week I agreed to pick my buddy and his wife up at the airport tonight at 1030. I told him today that there is a great chance that he will be taking a cab and he said they already knew that if my wife was behind the wheel the game went to OT.

This will be my final meltdown post of the series, possibly the season. In celebration of tonight's game seven for the Caps, let's take a trip down memory lane.

I'm assuming someone, somewhere keeps track of such an insane stat. http://www.hockey-reference.com/playoffs/playoff-comebacks.cgi Canucks have done it three times, no other team's done it more than twice. e: Penguins did it twice, both times against the Caps

flakeloaf posted:http://www.hockey-reference.com/playoffs/playoff-comebacks.cgi I also found this site http://www.puckreport.com/2009/04/nhl-playoff-comebacks-trailing-3-1.html , which about halfway down says: quote:In the eleven postseasons since the 2004 NHL Lockout, ten teams have squandered a 3-1 series lead only to stave off elimination by winning Game 7. If you combine that with the Hockey-Reference info, it looks like there have been 18 total Game 7s since the '04 lockout that involved come backs from 3-1. The comeback team has won 8 of the 18 (44%) and the defending team has won 10 of the 18 (56%). And, of those 10 wins for the defending team, 7 of them had home ice for Gm7. I don't know what the pre-04 lockout data is, but this paints a picture that's not so great for the Pens. And it doesn't even factor Justin Williams in.

I have decided to remain optimistic tonight in spite of the past 30 years of my life telling me how stupid this is. If the Capitals lose tonight, I will procure a non-disparaging Penguins-related avatar.

against my better judgement I will be venturing in to DC for the game tonight. I'm not going to it, but I will enjoy the thrill of victory or sting of defeat with Caps fans, and its going to be fun

I, of course, cribbed that lovely stats post from hfboards. But what's scary is that all this Justin Williams game seven talk reminds me of the henrik lundqvist/rangers game seven records right before the lightning clowned on them in game seven. Almost like...like stats are bullshit. Bullshit!

flakeloaf posted:I'm getting Ray Emery flashbacks. When he was on, man was he brilliant but when he was off, yikes could he play some awful hockey. I'd spent the time up till about a week or two ago thinking Anderson was a pretty solid puck handler; has he been using a borrowed stick or something? I bet the NHL would never let that happen to ratings, though.
