That was some fun hockey to watch. I'd have preferred a Washington win, but they didn't earn it tonight.
I'm so pulling for an Edmonton win tonight.

Be back next year for Disappointment, the 2017-2018 Washington Capitals.
Too bad for Edmonton. They had a good year, though, and I expect we'll see them have another good one next year.
Edmonton and Toronto will be pretty awesome for the next few years(hot take, I know). Should be great fun to watch.
West series is way more interesting. Any chance Anaheim can solve the Preds D/Rinne riddle? Asking because I know fuckall about the West for the most part.
Nashville, Anaheim, Ottawa and Pittsburgh. No wonder the NHL is in danger of falling behind soccer in America.

Pittsburgh has national pull for sure. But to say that is interesting is a lie. The NHL has to be pissed at these matchups. I guess worst case scenario was an Edmonton/Ottawa cup.
Ottawa and Pittsburgh are interesting.
I'd have paid good money for Edmonton/Ottawa, but I'm Canadian, and I'm from Ottawa. It would have been disastrous for ratings in the States. One Canadian team in the finals polarizes American fans. Two would probably destroy viewership altogether.
I find all the salt about Ottawa hilarious, by the way. Too bad they're probably gonna get trounced by the Pens. We don't get to see them go this far most years, so it's fun to be a fan here right now.
We actually have a decent, albeit one-sided, rivalry with them. They've won every time we've met them in the playoffs. We beat the average this year in regular season play, though, so we'll see.
