Every series either 2-1 or 2-2. I actually think tonight's game in Pittsburgh is massive. Obviously huge difference in 2-2 or Caps up 3-1 going back to DC. I think 3-1 potentially would mean even more than normal for the Caps psyche. Despite the old "Caps 3-1 history" stuff, Ovechkin's caps...

Because he turned down a multi year offer from the Ravens. Supposedly wants a 1 year deal so he can hopefully jack his price back up next year.

Officiating 'an absolute joke' - Roma's Pallotta

Agreed, easy to make the call in that case.

3 games. Kind of more than I think it deserved. This is them sending a message, but they're going to have a precedent set now for big guys hitting smaller guys and causing damage. The league is going to have to eventually just declare any and all head contact regardless of anything a penalty.

Well it's bad enough that the team I root for is already outed as pulling some shit. Agreed that it wouldn't be shocking in the slightest if pretty much all the teams have been engaging in similar shit, though.

Kuzy by faaaar safer bet over Holtby. With Samsonov coming over end of this year, I'd bet once Holtby's deal runs out we might move on from him. I do think the league sees an issue with it since he has a hearing today. I'm not convinced they think he's a head hunter like every other fanbase...

That's some serious shit. I bet we hear even more stories come out after all this. Fucked up.

I don't own a Wilson jersey, nor do I buy he's trying to break every guy's jaw that he hits. But I understand he's in every opposing fans' head making them believe that's the case. I actually think my next Caps jersey will be a Kuznetsov one. Been rocking the 8 for 10+ years now...

Hah, I only actually played GK one time on one of my indoor teams when neither of our regular goalies showed up and we all pretty much were fighting over who was going to get to suit up. I ended up getting the 1st half and another guy the 2nd. Fun experience, although we vastly outclassed the...

Still don't want to see a guy with a broken jaw like that. Rumor is that's what happened to Hagelin on Giroux hit last round, as well.

After all the bs with the uncapped year from awhile back...have a hard time believing it's a 0% chance they didn't meet and say exactly that to each other.

Btw, as far as this Wilson hit goes, I have no problem with people debating what the main point of contact is, head or shoulder. Because even though it seems obvious initial contact was shoulder to shoulder, dude has a broken jaw from the eventual contact to the head. Pretty tough sell to say...

Pretty sure he was only laughing at whatever bullshit Letang tried to say to him immediately after the hit. Anyone who thinks he was laughing at the guy being hurt is crazy. His reaction the other night in Game 2 at the sandwich collision on Dumoulin should be a little illuminating to Pens...

Brando I didn't get to watch the entire game, the main penalty decision I saw that was talked about after was the Marcelo one. I also absolutely agreed that Benz's second goal yesterday was an absolute gift of a mistake from Bayern. I do think Navas gave it back on James' goal being in...

That Winnipeg comeback was nuts. Tough win tonight for us, weird being up 2-1 so used to being behind 3-1 come Game 5 last 2 years. Need to go balls out Thursday night and try to grab both games up there to have our own 3-1 lead. We'll see what they do with Wilson. I honestly am having a...

Not sure I agree on the one Marcello "hand ball" when it was tucked in to his body. Ronaldo played Marcello in at one point where a simple pass to 2 different open guys should have resulted in fairly easy finish. Also played Bale in late but a horrible first touch ruined that chance. As noted...

Both teams finishing let them down quite a bit. Today easily could have been a much higher scoring affair. Ironically both 2nd half goals were on terrible misplays by the keepers imo.

No way James should get that shot through Navas, but yeah that would have been dramatic as hell.

It's possible, but in that case, wasn't the puck actually a couple inches off the ice? In that case, it's much easier to mistake the gap above the ice for "white". Agree that since it was called no goal on the ice, definitely affected the outcome.

Well. I'll say this, Pens got fucked on that no goal call in the 3rd. I think everyone had to know at some point that puck was across the line, and the final replay NBC was showing with the slow mo sure seemed like you could see white between the line and the puck. Glad we held them to...

Always a chance a GM ahead of you will screw up.

It was honestly a pretty close call. I could see arguments either way. I think if you boil it down, despite the D man hands on his back, Vegas forward didn't do all he could to avoid making contact...although I also think Jones sold it quite well by spinning way more than the contact actually...

Settle in the 5th is a good move. Finally investing in the trenches. 32nd against the run last year, so can't get enough help there.

I actually had that discussion on the way back from the movie regarding the movie motivations v. comic. I thought they did a great job of explaining his motivations and Brolin just absolutely crushed it as Thanos.

Was quite happy you guys dealt us a 3rd to move up for that. And we still got Guice 15 picks later.

We will see if Guice ends up a problem guy. If not...man trading back to pick up a 3rd and still getting him at #59 could be a steal.

Pretty okay with the trade back after Lions moved up and presumably took our guy. Got 3rd round pick now.

9.5/10. Lived up to the hype.

He'll end up having a good season at New England, on an expiring contract, and Pats will end up getting a compensatory pick down the road from him leaving in free agency after this year.

So tired of watching Ovechkin put up points and get so little help when it matters. Backstrom and Oshie's line has done so little at even strength in this playoffs. Backstrom had one decent game, but otherwise those two have just been feasting off the PP.

I think it's hilarious we spent so much time debating Browns taking a QB or not at #1...because if they didn't get their guy there, might not be there at #4. I feel like they could have taken BPA at #1 and Mayfield would have been there at #4. But whatevs. Still pissed Redskins left Derwin...

So the Caps blow a 2-0 lead at home in the 3rd period...and the Redskins fail to take Derwin James who was on the board at #13. Instead we'll take Payne...one pick after Vea goes...without trading down 5-7 picks where we likely still could have gotten Payne. But of course, Derwin James was...

2nd Round East Tampa in 6 Washington in 7 (b/c why not) West Vegas in 6 Nashville in 6

8 for 8 (at least on winners). Nailed 3 East series exactly.

That's how it always goes right? New flavor of the month. From what I heard, Geno is traveling to DC, likely out for Game 1. Hagelin not traveling. Guess that hit was worse than I thought it was. Also...damn Leafs. I feel for your fans. Think they should let Freddie split more time in net...

I agree completely if they actually have a guy rated above the others, and there's even a slim chance Giants or the Jets take him at 2 or 3, they should grab him at 1. Even the possibility that if they don't take him at 1 and someone blows away NYG with an offer for #2 to grab him...they should...

All depends on how they view the QB's, and what their read on Giants/Jets is...or whether someone else might trade up to #2 to grab the guy they might want (if they want one over the others).

Odell only played in 4 games last year. 12 games without OBJ Giants averaged 302 yards and 13.9 points a game, good for 30th in yards per game and 32nd (dead fucking last) in points per game. In the 4 games with OBJ, Giants averaged 350 yards and 19.75 points per game, which would have been...
