No doubt. There is no margin in a series like this. The teams are basically identically good. But somebody has to win... it is all just for fun. I liked seeing Tomlin at the game - I thought he was a big time moron but now I have upgraded him to semi-moron status!

Good point. A great goalie can help elevate a mediocre team. A great team doesn’t need much more than a slightly better than average goalie.

I despise the Beltway and Deep State as much as the next patriot but I love the Caps and our great Russian players Ovi, Kuznetsnov and Orlov. KMA Mueller. (Remember, even Dick Nixon loved the Redskins.) I guess there is Russian Collusion in DC, after all.

Vegas looked real good last night. I can’t believe I’m saying it, but right now, they might be the team to beat.

Look back over the years and notice how rare it is for a team to win the Stanley Cup with a goalie that won the Vezina Trophy the same year. I think it’s only happened 3 times since 1980.

The Bolts will fry them, of course, but the Capitals should enjoy it while they can.

For the first time in 1,109 days the Penguins have lost a playoff series.
That was one hell of a run! Love my Penguins and all the happiness they gave me the past decade.
Go Knights! Fleury is on a roll!

Ice Hockey below 40 deg North latitude is unnaturally ludicrous.

All time ‘Original Six’ all-star team: Glenn Hall in the nets...Jean Beliveau at center....Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull on the wings.... (Sorry Rocket!) Eddie Shore and Bobby Orr on defense....Okay, old guy NHL old days flashback over!

I’ve got a cousin that’s a Caps fan, reason enough to favor them over Tampa.
Go Winnipeg, beat them Preds.

Yep, Winnipeg is the only Canadian hope left or, it’s going to be 25 years without a Stanley Cup.

Probably the worst five-hole goal I have ever seen.
To: DAC21
LOL, I don’t think the brothers in DC even know the Capitals exist.
