David Volek probably prevented a 3 peat.

Pens and B's making we wish I'd picked them in 5 instead of 6 now

I'm pretty sure one of Kiper's mocks then had Ben going to the Steelers at 11 too. Not that Kiper is always good or right, mind you, he just was in that case.

Troll?

Blues and Hawks send the home crowds happy a couple of minutes apart. What a start to the playoffs.

KINGS TIE! OT in both games!

Please please let us have OT game on night 1.

Blues/Kings game has been intense. The pace has just been insane.

Damn even after eviscerating them on home ice in Game 7? You'd think you'd already feel like you've done them enough harm.

Maybe a month into the season, but I think most people had us picked to be in the playoffs before the season started. They just figured Carolina or Tampa might be there too. I think the real culprit here is Leonsis knowing the Wizards weren't going anywhere so he booked Verizon Center as much...

Kill who do you have for Boston v. Toronto? Btw come to find out that reason Caps/Rags have to wait until Thursday to start their series (and why later on Games 5, 6, and 7 would be over only 4 days) is partially because of a damn Taylor Swift tour. First Yani during the Pens series in '09...

Avs win draft lottery. They did have the 2nd "best" chance of winning it, should be interesting to see with new coach coming in. Have some serious talent on that team, they should be better than what they were this year.

I doubt it goes less than 6 games either way. Oates coaching his first playoff series against Torts is a storyline too. Oates has been very good, but we'll see if a 7 game series is a different animal for him.

Good with the bad though? What was it 5 Conference title game appearances over a 10 year stretch? Obviously when you're contending that often it hurts to never break through and win one but many teams would kill for that level of steady success.

By the same token though, if the season was any longer we could have easily leapfrogged everyone in the East save Pittsburgh. We started the year 2-8-1 after hiring a new coach and having only a single week of "training camp" to install a completely new system and make changes to the PP/PK (not...

Hahaha, this is well put

Thanks, I do recall now. They just didn't really touch on it at all on the show yet since they invented the new back story for the new wife for Rob. I wonder if anyone who hasn't read the books will see the Red Wedding coming.

Campbell did get a raw deal with his time in the league. Absolutely zero continuity, O coordinators changing every year, played behind a terrible line during his time with the Skins. I think the career backup role is a better fit for his overall talent level, but there was a time when I think...

I'm saying acting like we built so many extra points from a ton of extra games vs our division just doesn't hold water when everyone else played them 15 times too. You mentioned the teams behind us in seeding, and some thought because of our "tough" schedule down the stretch against all those...

If the Red Wedding episode is good, the raging in the non spoiler thread and other places may be just as good as the show.

It's amazing how many guys manage to hang on in a backup role and get paid good money to do so.

I just think it's funny Grossman still has a job Araysar. Although there is a reason for it, having been in Kyle Shanahan's system for even 1 year longer than he's been in DC.

Everyone uses that excuse that we only beat up on the Southeast, yet down the stretch we beat Montreal twice, Toronto, and Boston. Also fun fact, Caps played 18 games against the Southeast while the rest of the East played...15 games against the Southeast.

I don't see how we can complain about the jars scene but praise the foreshadowing from Qyburn in his scene. I doubt Selyse gets that much screen time, so adding in the scene with the jars really drives home the point she's fucked in the head. I thought it was a good addition to make her...

Hey now, Skins brought back the only one to lead Bears to the Super Bowl in the modern era.

I'd love to see Toronto pull it off, believe me. I just think the Bruins are a better team and not sure how Reimer will hold up.

Just pointing out an odd thing, how come Romo gets credit for 6 GP in '04 and 16 GP in '05 but with absolutely zero passing stats for either season? Is that just credit as the holder for FG's/XP's? Would still be 6 more games played for Romo as an actual QB with 9 less picks...just weird.

Is that confirmed no Patchface for the show? It's not much of a part (through Book 5 at least) but what Melisandre said about him made me think he was going to have more to his story.

East (1)Pittsburghv. (8) NY Islanders - Pens in 6 (was going to say 5, but Pens won't be at full strength). (2)Montrealv. (7) Ottawa - Montreal in 7. I expect a weird series. (3)Washingtonv. (6) NY Rangers - Caps in 6. Homer pick, I believe in Oates and Ovechkin. (4)Bostonv. (5)...

Andy Reid still claims the title.

Series I think could be amazing...Blues/Kings.

Brooks Laich reportedly had sports hernia surgery earlier this month, I doubt he's back unless we make a deep run. I think it's similar to what Green had done last year. Joel Ward has also been hurt, not sure what his timetable in. No other meaningful injuries for us as far as I know, since...

I just don't understand some of the complaints. It almost feels like most docked our draft because we didn't have a 1st round pick, while claiming in their review that they raised our grade a bit since technically the RG3 trade counts as part of this draft (the 1st round pick that we didn't...

Heard a rumor Clowe was hurt, no other details though. I think it'll be a good series, I just don't know which Caps team to expect...and frankly the secondary scoring has been real hit or miss of late. Ovechkin, Green, and the PP have been carrying us.

I remember the Skipjacks back in the day, but you're right that I don't ever see Baltimore having the market for the NHL. It's not really as much of a basketball town as DC is either, even though the Wizards suck. You have to be pleased with your first 2 picks though. Basically fill your...

Famm you with the Caps avatar creeps me out. But I guess we can have some Baltimore fans for the Caps. I talked some Ravens fan friends off the ledge based on their draft, your D could be better than it was last year potentially. I liked what the Skins did even with limited picks and no 1st...

Caps v. Rangers again. Revenge. 4th time in 5 years too.

I couldn't help but laugh at this. Ovechkin's going to have fun doing whatever his entire life I'm convinced. His finance is also pretty hot and they seem like the real deal.

It's good news in that I think it's better if he's healthy for the league. But obviously sucks for all the other teams if he comes back and doesn't miss a beat.

Yeah Mike Ribeiro decided to go crazy and take 2 totally unnecessary penalties tonight, the 2nd one with only a minute left in the game after the whistle (Sens scored on the leftover 4 on 3 time in OT). Ruined a very pretty tying goal from Ovechkin (32nd, 3 up on Stamkos again), and a pretty...
