I'm not gonna pretend I'm above it. I'd be seriously peeved if a below average Ottawa team had its once-every-three-years three week PDO bender line up with injuries and a lucky bracket, and lead to them winning a Cup. Hell, I'm on the verge of melting down just because they made the ECF.

Late but thanks for perfectly encapsulating my feelings. Also it sucks that a knob like Melnyk gets to enjoy EK.

I think he made a beautiful post and did a great job and he is good.
In the unlikely event that the Caps do win tonight, please don't judge us too harshly for celebrating like we just won the Cup. Because we absolutely will. Might even get a new banner for it.

If we lose, well... I'm not getting on THAT Metro train home.

It will be huge if the Caps win tonight. In the Ovechkin era we've won the Presidents trophy like three times, but not gotten past the second round. Definitely worthy of celebration. If we lose, well at least we're used to it!

and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad.
We will learn something important about the world tonight. If we live in a universe of matter and energy governed by more or less intelligible natural laws, the Caps will win. If, however, we're actually characters in a Greek tragedy or Norse epic....well, we all know how the story ends.

Best thing about game 7 tonight is that if the Pens win, sweet more hockey. If they lose, cool gently caress hockey until Preds in SCF. If they lose and Perds aren't in the SCF, gently caress every hockey.

Keep in mind that the 2012 Kings were poo poo for most of the season, made great pick ups at the deadline, and just barely snuck into the 8th seed in the final game of the regular season.

Those playoffs were so crazy to watch

Is this the one where he gets crosschecked in the back of the neck and his helmet gets knocked off?
I can only hope that they are forced to fine him because of the call on the ice. (Which was stupid).

Why would he fly out of Dulles when he could be flying out of Regan (or whatever it's called now) about 10 minutes after the game ends vs 45 to an hour to Dulles.

There's just no point in feeling otherwise. We've lost this game like 100 times. There's no despair or dread left to give, at least before the loss.

Now if we make the finals...there's plenty of dread there. In fact it's almost a relief if we lose to not have to feel that dread.

That was the best defensive effort I can remember by the Pens since....well game 6 vs the Sharks last year I guess.

But it reminded me so much of game 7 vs the Wings. Just a ridiculously strong defensive effort and with some zone time here and there
