Doesn't matter who you were pulling for in Game 2 of the Caps/Jackets, that was a good game.
I think this is one of the more entertaining match-ups so far.
Glad to see the Jackets wake up and start playing after spotting the Caps multiple goals AGAIN!

Even though Vegas leads the series 3-0; it's been a pretty close series.

Those 2 goals 20 seconds apart for the Knights were devastating.

Think the damn Kings Re going to get swept. Just terrible offensively.

I'm starting to wonder what happened to the Capitals!
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but they are the Capitals. Per hockey history, they don't do well in the playoff's.

Major Bruins fan here (Born in RI, lived in Mass for years!). I've really been enjoying the playoffs this year. There have been some great games for sure.
Save the whales. Redeem them for valuable prizes...

If only NBC would get rid of Pierre, Tilbury, Keith Jones, & Roenick; watching the playoffs would be so much better.

If they just got rid of Piere Mcanoying it would be great. I wish they would just broadcast the sound from the ice.

Had a couple of the grandkids over last night and was only able to catch the Boston-Toronto game.
Toronto's goalie had a pretty nice save toward the end of the game:

I didn’t think Bruins could sweep the Leafs but I do think they have the momentum to get to the next round.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ CoolRich...the B's are the ONLY team you need to watch. Or the Predators...
PD...Yup...B's in 5 but no more than 6. I don't think Toronto has what it takes to get it to 7. Pastrnak was just snake-bit last night...he had a good 3 or 4 chances to tie the game and just couldn't find the twine. Couldn't stand Marleau when he was with San Jose and can't doubly stand him now.
I had totally forgotten about Brandon Carlo...what kind of injury has kept him out for so long??? Nevermind...fractured left ankle. Will miss the playoffs yet again...

Parise is out for the remainder of the series at least w/ a fractured sternum. That's lots of firepower out between Suter and him.

Real class act, Hedman.
And no supplemental discipline...was no discipline to begin with, no penalty called.

Many series getting nastier.
Morrissey given 1 game suspension for cross checking Eric Staal in the head. No call by the refs, probably cost Minnesota the game.
Kucherov with a questionable hit on Sami Vatanen & no penalty. Looked like a head hit. Will Player Safety let this go? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pens looked good for 2 games in a row.
Vegas vs Sharks (presumably) looks like it will be a good series.This message has been edited. Last edited by: mrbill345,

Freeking MN. Wild.
They really needed to win this first game to have a chance in the series.
Nope.
Yet another underachieving year for the Wild. I just cannot get behind these guys. Maybe I'm still pissed at Norm Green or maybe the younger Wild players don't have any guts or all the playoff disappointments, but I just don't give a rat's tuchas about the Wild.

And a whole lotta payroll sitting out, watching the game from home, licking their wounds.
These guys are getting paid an awful lot of money for being so decrepit.

Wow. Back to home ice advantage and a race to two. Holtby looked good, it's nice having a Vezina trophy winner as a backup goalie.
Go Caps!

Win or lose I'm proud of my team. Far exceeded expectations this year. This team is finally on the right track. Hopefully, if we pick wisely in the next couple of years we might just make some noise in four to five years.

Yep... Jackets laid an egg last night. To be honest, Holtby wasn't even tested.
I look at it this way, if we keep on track and the road team keeps winning, Jackets take it in 7
Nevermind...fractured left ankle. Will miss the playoffs yet again...
