If the Caps only score 1G/60m, they lose. That simple.

It was good enough in Game 4.

Halak pissing all over Washington's dreams once more

Hasn't done it yet, had to expect he would have a strong game after giving up 5.

Also if Beagle could shoot from what I heard on the radio, we'd be waiting for OT to start.

And lurking, this is why I pointed out it was weird you had no Game 7's in your predictions for Round 1. Caps in the playoffs, it was a lock that I was hoping to avoid...but it's a lock.

Yeah that should've been a goal

Gotta admit Halak isn't dominant like he was in the Habs vs Caps series couple years back.

People forget though, we put up a ton of goals in the first 4 games (granted, it was Price that played Game 4)...he was just magnificent in Games 5-7. Of course, one waved off Ovechkin goal for Mike Knuble causing air to blow past Halak in 3rd period of Game 7 sure helped.

I dunno. I stand by my predictions. Anything is possible. An awful lot of games with 4 or 5 goals scored by one team? anything is possible.

No I hear you, I just thought you were crazy to predict no Game 7's in Round 1. Seems like there's always 2-3+ Game 7's in Round 1.

In Ovechkin era, Caps have played in 9 playoff series...7 of them have gone to a Game 7. Only 2 that didn't occurred in the same year too. Expect anything Monday night. I haven't missed a home Game 7 in recent years, I might have to find a way to get tickets.

Awesome offense, or shit defense?

The answer is yes.

Don't forget entertaining as hell.

Sigh, nailed Hawks and Flames in 6...Caps of course going to 7. Although Tampa failed me today too, I can't believe they're losing that series right now.
