Honestly, they were generating the majority of the chances. Mason was good. Surprised Fleury didn't play today.Penguins are bad.
Caps clinch! Getting a point was still big for Ottawa. 2 points back of Pitt, Boston, and Detroit all with 3 games to play. They do play Pens though so they can get even with them (although they won't win the tiebreaker).I really thought Ottawa was going to pull it out at the end and be the solid #8. I don't think they're going to make it now. Too much shitty play.
Yeah, I think it's a matter of too little, too late. The end of the season has been pretty good for Ottawa. If they played like that all year, they would be three or four spots higher.Caps clinch!

Heard Ottawa was 19 points back of Pittsburgh on Feb. 12th, next game they'll have a chance to draw even with them. Pretty crazy run no matter how it ends for them.
Even if they don't make it, some things to build on with some of that young talent. Stone, Pageau, couple others have been great this year. Not sure if Hammond is as good as his numbers have been. If his run had been as long as Dubnyk's has been in Minnesota, I'd be more of a long term believer...but he's been quite the spark. 17-1-2 in his first 20 NHL games? Amazing.Yeah, I think it's a matter of too little, too late. The end of the season has been pretty good for Ottawa. If they played like that all year, they would be three or four spots higher.
LOLOLOL! New Caps fan spotted. 6 years....someone has not had playoff hope properly beaten out of them yet.I'm too lazy to figure it out, but I feel like there's a scenario where the Caps end up playing the Pens, Habs, and Rags (1st, 2nd, 3rd round in that order).
If they could somehow make a run through them, it'd be like playoff redemption for thelast 6 years or so.
Not even a little bit, I was just pointing out that you are clearly new to being a Caps fan. Long time fans have had their playoff hopes crushed over a much longer timeframe. Usually by the Penguins.I guess this is the part where you tell me I'm not a real fan because I didn't follow the sport since I was 5.
Truly a gift.Aren't you excited Grimm? when the Rangers win the cup everyone is gonna thinkyourteam won from when you got to don their avatar!
YOUR WELCOME
Hey, it's not a bad thing for new fans. Part of me relishes the idea of playing the Isles in Round 1 just to get revenge for the Easter Epic. Still hurts after all these years, although that was right about when I first started following the Caps.LOLOLOL!
