This is gooooooooooooooooood news.

I'd argue the Bernard stuff is very interesting as well.

I'd argue regarding De Gea at least, that we may be seeing his current and future level this year. He's that good.

This won't matter if we never get another PP. Also fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Kuznetsov and Ovechkin producing ~40% of our playoff goals. It's nice that TJ Oshie works hard, but if we're never going to get another PP he won't score another goal the way he's going now.

How about the Caps or even the Blues in hockey

Need to remember how to win games against Tampa before you worry about that

Curious where we would set the bar on this, the idea of a franchise building multiple championship rosters. Are we assuming complete roster turnover? 3 out of 5 starters? Retention of single main star? Where would we draw the line? Kobe's Lakers seem an obvious starting point, in that you...

Kempny and Eller have really been anchors the last 2 games. No fun unless it's as hard as possible I guess. Still, all 3 series have been 2-2 after 4 games. Just gotta play the same way in general at even strength like we did for a lot of this game. Keep hammering away.

Guy comes to play. Always seems to pull some monster save out when it matters most.

Actually, there was a trade with LeBron going to the Heat. He did a sign and trade from Cavs to Heat so the Cavs could get some draft picks and trade exemption compensation. Of course, it was for picks 2 years down the road from when the trade happened, but they did at least get some...

San Antonio drafted all 3 of those guys. Rodman was great at what he did, but he wasn't near the type of player that the Heat assembled with Wade getting LeBron and Bosh both there. Lakers drafted Bynum, and traded assets for Gasol. Celtics also traded for both Allen and KG. Celtics...

The differences being, one guy did it first, and set the standard for the "super team" idea. That same guy left the team with the best record in the NBA two years running, which happened to be his home town team that drafted him #1 overall. Neither move is one a guy makes who thinks he can be...

Think they remembered how to hockey last night. The two PP goals by Stamkos and Kucherov were absolutely snipes. Stamkos one shouldn't have happened, but Orpik failed to make a basic clear. We'll see if we can manage not to take 6 penalties tomorrow night or make adjustments on our PK...

I think he should have fought harder to have Kyrie stay. Personally I'd like to see him stay in Cleveland and keep trying there, but I'm not sure how much of the current team he'd want to blow up and/or who you get to replace.

I should change it back, I set it as that after the whole debacle with Cousins agent was coming to light, and us giving up Fuller in the Alex Smith trade. Since then I actually like what we did in free agency (both what we did and didn't do), and the draft (although didn't think we did things...

Pretty much every stat says you're wrong about Game 1, especially the first 40 minutes. 10 shots on goal through 2 periods? Woof. By the time they did anything it was already 4-0. Disagree on them being the better team far and away tonight too. We out-shot them all 3 periods, just let their...

On the bright side, the way everyone was shooting in those final 5 minutes, that game might still be going on if not for Kyrie burying that 3.

Attending the game tonight, hopefully the crowd gets over any jitters with us having beat the Pens and looking as good as we are of late. Kept hearing about "what an experience" the Tampa fans made down there, pretty sure tonight is going to shit on any energy they brought in Games 1 and 2.

Only real differences between the two is that one guy left the best overall team in the league 2 years running, and one guy did it first. It just happens to be the same guy in both instances. Durant learned from the creator, just so far he actually has a winning record in Finals since doing...

I agree Durant pulling the LeBron Beta move has kind of ruined any current team's chance of beating this Warrior's team. Maybe if Kyrie was healthy to hit the series winning shot against them, Celtics would have a shot.

GS gives no fucks.

Although you wouldn't totally know it in the NBA, as much as we hear about today's players needing to take games off to rest.

This. Was worried shit was starting to go south, then they drop an episode like this. Hope lives.

Line of the season.

Honestly I think it is. Doing this without Backstrom is insane. I've never seen us look this good top to bottom 5 on 5. Holtby playing well too. Where are the holes? We're at least going to give ourselves a chance no matter who we face if we play this way. Getting some scoring from the...

Still like that scoring chances and shots are even or slightly in our favor despite their two PP's though.

Is what it is. Can't change it, Caps probably a little used to it with certain instances of goalie interference over the years in the playoffs. Maybe refs throw a ticky tack call the other way at some point. Have to take advantage if so.

Penalty Kill could still be better and bail us out there, maybe kill at least one of the two. Still, only being down a goal after 20 isn't too bad.

Par for the course, win anyways. "Adversity".

Yet another 2 minute penalty for simply being Tom Wilson.

Watching NBC, you'd think the only reason we won Game 1 was a waived off goal that Kucherov was so unlucky to have called back, and us scoring right away on the PP resulting from it.

Maybe real D's is gold.

Posting in a legendary thread.

All 4 teams left "deserve it" as far as that goes. Yzerman has done such a good job down there in Tampa building that team up...I don't need to go over the Capitals history or Ovechkin deserving a Cup finally, everyone knows about it. I honestly would say Vegas deserves it the least, with how...

He said domestically

More like the suck level of Disney Star Wars and the young Han actor can overcome anything positive.

Could have predicted this, question is does he steal it enough to make it worth a watch

Weird spot to be in yeah, with that conditional pick. I highly doubt we see the same Tampa team tomorrow night. Obviously already grabbing a game down there is good, but I think it will help Backstrom not rush back. No idea what is wrong with his hand, but reports say he feels pretty...

Caps/Vegas Finals would be nuts considering it would be us vs. our former GM.

That kid has been a revelation in these playoffs. He's like Vrana lite with his speed, although not nearly the offensive instincts. Still, could have had an assist when Carlson hit the crossbar, and on the Eller almost goal. I'm really hoping that if we let Beagle go sign somewhere for too...
