    Agreed, not a recipe for long term success, but if they had held it to 0-0, and gotten a goal off a rush late in 3rd or OT to steal it, they'd be going home up 2-0 with the Pens having had zero answers.

    They have just enough talent to get to Round 2, but in the NBA, only 2-3 teams with any real shot of winning it all, Wizards aren't in that group, and not likely to make Conf Finals. Btw @Uber Uberest here you go bro.

    To be fair, the plan to hold the fort and frustrate the Pens was working for almost the entire game. Honestly though Anderson should have stopped the Kessel goal, he just couldn't reset after the original shot block. They were just hoping for another moment of magic like Ryan's OT winner.

    Playing at home should give them a boost. Hell they got the split in Pittsburgh and held the Pens to 2 goals in over 2 games. Can't say it's not working to some degree. But they need to generate more offense like they were in G1.

    The shootout scene was supposed to be their version of the crazy single take shot from S1 with MM. It didn't live up to that standard, but it was okay for what it was. I think VV tried hard and did well with some parts, but as others noted, the dialogue was almost universally terrible. Some...

    Being up 3-1 doesn't mean you won the series. Just ask the Warriors how that went in the Finals last year. Cavs lost in 2nd round that year mostly because Lebron went 11 for 35 from the field over Games 5 and 6. Couldn't cut it as alpha when it counted, went full beta to Miami.

    Eh, I think they're still pretty big underdogs, and this was always the narrative for whoever was going to come out of the Atlantic. They've certainly proven they have a bit of magic going, though. Not sure I still believe they can actually win that series.

    Nashville just has it right now. Getting the timely scoring, when their top line is going they're hard to stop, even when they weren't last series, their D men chip in a good bit of offense. And they're solid at the back. You wonder how the hell they were 16th of the 16 playoff teams.

    The only things we really learned in S2 was that 99% of Vince Vaughn's dialogue was terrible, with 1% being golden. Colin Farrel was the only reason to actually watch. And Astro can have a hard time at understanding obvious plot points.

    Not sure we'll get as far. That roster is going to look a lot different. Can pretty much say bon voyage to at least Williams, Alzner, Shattenkirk, Winnik...potentially Oshie too. Likely Grubauer in the expansion draft, too.
