    Yeah, Pascal Dupuis was snubbed in the voting.

    Tom Wilson officially in tonight. His potential ceiling they hope is something like Lucic.

    I think you answered the question already, they end up stealing votes from each other. Not to mention Chicago was pretty dominate as a team overall.

    Crosby, Ovechkin, Tavares announced as finalists for the Hart.

    That goal was nails Grimm, although if I'm being honest, the move Tavares put on a minute before (or moves I should say) was even better, it just lacked the finish.

    Ovie hasn't had a real "dirty" hit in a long time. Much like Geno, neither is a guy out looking to hurt people, they just play the game hard. Ovechkin gets a little too reckless at times, and Geno can let his frustration get the best of him at times.

    I'd just turn around and laugh at him. Yeah obviously it's a dick move though, just pointing out that sometimes you can get under Malkin's skin and encourage him to take retaliation penalties.

    Malkin is too easy to provoke sometimes. Strange game, Vokoun has been solid as fuck. Isles really were dominate for a good 20-25 min from part of the way through 1st into the 2nd, then the Pens started scoring and it evened up a whole lot more. Frustration set in, plus a pretty weak 2nd goal...

    With Hershey getting knocked out of AHL playoffs (Caps farm team), rumors are Tom Wilson was one of the call ups to the Caps roster, but not just for the "Black Aces", he was taking regular line rushes on 4th line. Erat has been ruled out for Game 5, and I assume Eric Fehr moves up to 2nd line...

    Yeah supposedly she's friends with Reimer's wife(?)...was explained they were reacting to a fan near them. Terrible effort by Ovechkin on that play...although would be nice if we weren't depending on him to cover other people's blown coverages and missed clearing attempts.

    Still, the Isles game will be a good one to go to as well. Sometimes it's nice getting to watch a neutral game you can just enjoy it and not be living and dying on every rush. I just foresee another OT game, I just hope it has a happy ending.

    Kings roar all the way back to a 3-2 series lead. I really hope I won't see that happen in our series Friday night, as I'll be there at the game.

    We always do. Last 5 or so years...whether we're up early in the series or down early in the series...bet on it going 7 somehow, someway.

    I mean once you were up 2 you can expect some turtling, plus we're going to have to take chances to generate O. It is frustrating when we turn it on and play better at times though but like shit for so much of the game. We were too undisciplined again tonight, however you feel about the...

    Grats to the Rags. We didn't even deserve to be in that game. Have to stay out of the box and stop playing like shit in our own end. Also, would be nice if this year's Ovechkin came back and not Ovechkin of last 2 years before this one.

    At least we got some life after the Perreault goal, then Brouwer made a really nice play with a great backhand. Somehow, we're tied in this game despite getting outplayed for the first 30-33 minutes and Holtby giving away a freebie.

    At this point both teams should just decline any PP's. Ugly. Erskine is still a moron.

    Biggest loss on that play could be Erat landing right on his wrist. If it's broken we better hope Brooks Laich heals up quick.

    Wow. This call on Ovechkin is hilarious. Holtby was a complete idiot on that goal. Erat hurt as well.

    John Erskine continues to be terrible at getting the puck out of our end or moving it with any speed whatsoever. Rags pinning us in our own end far too much this period.

    Well when going up 2-0 in a series we have never won Game 3, and that held true. But I hear you, it does sort of make sense in a way that if you go up 2-0 and get a split in next 2 to go up 3-1, you should win (although the Caps have blown 3-1 series leads in the past that weren't from a 2-0...

    Tonight's game could be make or break for the Caps. Pretty sure this stat is right, but of all the times the Caps have led a series 2-0, they've never won Game 3, and if they have lost Game 4 to leave the series tied at 2-2, they have always lost the series.

    That's just scary. Vokoun has to be in for Game 5...after all the moves they made at the deadline (or just before it) they can't afford to have Fleury drown them in the 1st round.

    Whatever happens in our series, hopefully no hard feelings, all 3 series the last couple years have been some exciting hockey. Grimm...Fleury is making people forget about '09 at this point. I almost feel bad for the guy. Almost.

    Only way it would be better is if they take the next two somehow from the Pens and have a chance to pull off the upset when you're there.

    Hey we could still blow it, as I said we're 2-4 in series we've lead 2-0 since '87 (around then). Although I think we've proven we can be a better team than just "the best of the shitty Southeast". Tomorrow night's game will be huge. Our team isn't generally known for handling adversity all...

    Not like we didn't see the same sell job from the Oleksy elbow call last night. Right call, he caught him, but no need to go down like he had been shot. I don't like the embellishing, but I also don't mind the fact he got right back up and stayed with the play on the high stick call. We...

    Please Grimm, a person's head is going to flinch back if the stick comes up that high. That pic I posted makes it pretty clear it at least came up to his neck, it wasn't like he acted like he had been sliced open. Flinched back, went down, got right back up and kept skating with the puck...

    I don't blame them for our loss tonight, hell they gifted us a chance to get even in the last 2 minutes and we did nothing with it. Detroit still looks like they're more likely to score here and tie this series up.
