Hats off to the Caps. They really stepped it up in these Finals.

Not my team, or who I wanted to see hoist the cup. However, they played like they wanted it. Nice job boys | |||

Crowds were nuts. Wow! Been watching since Hunter, Pivoňka, Langway, Bondra, Johansson, etc. Wow! We're freaking Stanley Cup Champions! Unbelievable! Holy crap, might not be able to sleep tonight. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Congrats to the Caps. It's about time Ovechkin can get his name on the cup. For someone to win the Hart Trophy 3 times, and not have their name on the cup previously is unheard of, so I'm glad that will be corrected. Now has the Conn Smythe as well. “I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” | |||

Congratulations Capitals fans. They went out and earned it and were clearly the better team. Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

Oh yeah...I forgot about that extra little piece of hardware he picked up. Absolutely deserved it!!! "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

I had Kuznetsov & Holtby for the Conn Smythe ahead of Ovi. Looking at the playoff stats I was surprised to see that Crosby & Guentzel were tied for 5th (along w/ Oshie) in points despite the Pens being eliminated on May 7th. Other interesting stats: +/- Orpik was +17, Kuznetsov +12 Fleury had 4 shutouts, Holtby had 2 Goals Against Average Holtby 2.16, Fleury 2.24 Save Percentage Fleury .927, Holtby .922 “Agnostic, gun owning, conservative, college educated hillbilly” | |||

In defense of the Conn Smythe decision, I believe consideration is given BEYOND the on-ice stats. I think Ovie's leadership in the locker room and on the ice contributed to the decision. And I'll grant that it's somewhat of a "nostalgic" decision, but well-earned... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.

Congrats to the Caps!  "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 "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

I enjoyed this year’s playoffs. Several entertaining matchups. The refs were pretty bad in several of the series. Many missed calls, but seemed consistent at least. And with the Caps/Knights in finals, it was exciting as neither team had won the cup previously. “I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on.

Still not sure I can believe it. After so many heartbreaking seasons. So happy to see Ovie, Nicky, Holts and all the others raise the cup. Begging of the season we were losing games and my thoughts were good. We don't want the President's Cup, it's cursed. Don't need to clinch a playoff spot and home advantage a month or more before the season ends. I wanted us fighting till the end. Pittsburg series scared me as they have had the Caps numbers for the last few years when I mattered. Not this time though. Once they made it past the Pens I knew they could do it. Vegas had a great run. Fleury worried me going into this series. He's proved he can win games for his team when it mattered. Did it against the Caps in the playoff too many times. After the first game, the Caps proved they could score on him this time and continued to do so. Not surprised at all to see Ovie win the Conn Smythe. Figured it would be him or Kuzzy but his leadership and play where all there. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

Believe it. Ovi skating over and passing it to Bäckström was awesome.  Yes that is Lord Stanley's Cup he's a hoisting. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I’m still reeling. What a season. I adopted the Blackhawks in 1991, and always pull for them. But the Capitals (along with the Skins) were my first real pro teams after moving back to NOVA in 1977. (The Senators had already moved so I followed the Orioles.) RB Cancer fighter (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma) since 2009, now fighting Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. | |||
