BTW, I was thinking of you and all TB fans last night during the final 3 minutes of the game, how could anyone have stayed seated? That is what I miss with the Pens out of it, the amazing rush of watching your team in a one goal game with the clock seeming to move at a glacial pace if your guys are ahead. Hope the Pens players are stewing on this too. Cheers to 7 games for both semi-finals! Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Avent Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 I am intentionally being quiet over here. I think I jinxed the Caps last night and now I must figure out what penance the hockey gods require. I texted a buddy of mine who used to live here in the DC area, but moved back to Toronto a couple of years ago. I told him we needed to meet in Vegas for a Cup game since we are both Caps fans.............WHAT WAS I THINKING! I have been flogging myself in the muddy backyard, rubbing dogsh*t in my hair all day. Damn hockey gods! Link to post Share on other sites

jeff88 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Knights are closing in to getting to the finals, I'm still in shock that this team was basically thrown together last year. That they are this far is just crazy. 29 is having both the series and time of his life! Wow, just wow. Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 The Tom jinx lives on. Lightning fourth line scores two on the Caps first line. I was questioning Cooper using the fourth line so much. They truly are a shut down line. No chance of scoring and then boom game five. Go Bolts!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Hong Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 How can a "true contender" like the Caps start the first 2 periods like they were still warming up? I am flabbergasted that Trotz did not have them awake and ready. I was slightly pulling for Ovi and the Caps earlier, now, not so much. Link to post Share on other sites

I have always been amazed when a team, any team, is not going 100% in a playoff game. I know that's easy for me to say but what the heck are they doing out there? Why go through the grind of 82 games if you're not going all out in the playoffs? Link to post Share on other sites

Big Al Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Ryan Callahan exemplifies a guy that leaves it on the ice. Here's his take on bringing it. #GoBolts ✔@TBLightning Callahan on how he continually raises his game with how hard he plays: “It’s not hard. Twenty three other guys in the room will do that same thing. This is the time of the year you play for.” #TBLvsWSH 10:35 PM - May 19, 2018 261 36 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Link to post Share on other sites

I would think they're not going to play the following year if they don't. Link to post Share on other sites
