    Wasn't expecting the Ranges to be playing a series where the home team has won every game.

    Figured you'd like that. Gotta admit Orlov kicking the puck into our own net in a huge game against the Pens was the most Capitals thing ever. Seems like so many of the 1 goal games have a goal go in of our D man. Not sure I've ever seen one where the guy actually booted it straight into the...

    Yeah they played 7 times in the 90's. That decade sucked. This is starting to get there. Not over yet, but it's looking a little...Grimm.

    Orlov was shit tonight. I don't mean kicking in the goal either, just some bad plays in our end. Pretty sure Oshie's stick didn't even tickle Bonino's beard there, but what are you going to do? Too many chances left wanting. All you can do is tip your hat to the Pens and Fleury right now...

    Guess it depends on the narrative. Our own D man kicked the puck straight into our net. Shots 17-5 in 2nd period, 29-14 for the game. Desperation is there, keeping goals out of our net and putting more in theirs we're still working on.

    Nashville v. whoever wins the Anaheim/Edmonton series is going to be an awesome WCF. Maybe not ratings wise for NBC, but the hockey should be pretty damn good.

    Seeing the archives in Seville was pretty awesome. I thought from Olebass' link they were going to find the anchor on tonight's episode. Guess they're just setting it up. There's enough cool background stuff to get past the stuff that seems completely contrived. Still think the interactions...

    Well...can almost pencil in Real to the Final at this point. Never say never, but if they score even 1 away goal in the return leg it's all but certain.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Like I said, it's almost worse that Cleveland still fucked all that up at No 9 and with Bills' 1st the next year...because they had another 1st to go along with that #9 overall.

    It's a stone cold lock that one of the guys Pens called up in light of Sid and Sheary injuries will score a goal tomorrow night.

    Not sure which is worse...what they gave up to move up to draft him...or the failure of the Browns to do anything with what Bills gave up.

    Not sure Atletico can survive. 12 shots to 1 in first 45. If Real can double their advantage and maintain the clean sheet, should be set up for a much easier 2nd leg.

    Fair enough, you've given him more time than the media guys. I'm not going to break down every moment either, but from what I've seen, the Caps have been the better team overall in all 3 games, with the game Sid missed most of being the one we dominated the least. Holtby was fucking terrible...

    Also I find it weird how much media and even you were ignoring Geno up till now. He was leading the playoffs in scoring before last night, not Sid. That one timer to make it 2-1 last night was a missile, even if I think Holtby should save that every time. No idea why he keeps giving up so...

    This is what every Penguins fan will say. Every metric and statistic points to the fact that the goaltending was the real "win" for the Penguins in Games 1 and 2, and the major problem for us. If Holtby from the first 58 minutes last night shows up in Games 1 and 2, it's likely 2-1 Caps right...

    They confirmed he has a concussion, which just sucks and he's not playing tomorrow night. Don't want that, especially with his history, and I want him in if we're to win the series. We can disagree on creating all the scoring chances (4 points on 9 goals scored by his team in first 2 games...

    Of course Shattenkirk scores. Literally would have been okay if we benched him after the game/series he'd been having. Only the Caps. Gotta go out and find a way to get a win Wednesday too, though. 3-1 would still be almost impossible to overcome.

    All other things aside...both goalies have been really good tonight. Fleury got unlucky with the bounce on the 1st goal, and no real chance on that 2nd.

    I don't disagree that it's a reaction type play...but I mean he ends up cross checking him in the head. With the injury factored it, I can understand why they gave him a major and major on cross checking is automatic game misconduct I'm 99% sure. Sid hasn't come back yet either. I know we...

    I don't think Niskanen did it maliciously, but given the result, 5 and a game is probably the right call. I think game penalty is mandatory with major for cross checking, anyways. As much as it benefits us with Sid out, I hope he's able to come back, no one should have to suffer that. Little...

    Refs have nothing to do with it, if anything only thing they really screwed up last night was originally waving off the Malkin goal. I still don't even know how he thought that was interference even at real speed live. The Penguins are fantastic at being opportunistic, I give them full marks...

    Really liked the Redskins' draft. We were able to address needs all over the place while not having to reach for those needs. Helped that Allen fell into out lap at 17, but pretty much addressed most trouble spots at least partially with our draft. I might have traded some of the late picks...

    It'll be interesting to see if Cousins works as well with Gruden calling plays again (he did initially when he first came over). On one hand, McVay's play calling was pretty good...but a little suspect in the red zone. Wonder if he has similar struggles over in LA.

    I love so much we got Moreau at #81. Anderson is a beast too, lack of measurables hurt his stock. Moreau might not be ready to go right away, but our D is a whole lot better already. Loving our draft so far and thank goodness they focused on D.
