NHL 2015-16 Season Thread

Doesn't seem like the Caps know how to screen the goalie, either. Or they're unwilling to (Oshie).

Philly high sticks their own player...penalty on the Caps.

Here comes a goal

Which leads to a 5 on 3. That's some bullshit.

which was two minutes for playing good defense.

Even with the gift, Flyers can't get it done.

I called it

Wall sprung a leak.

Hell of a fight put up by the Flyers this series. Glad to have them past us.

Now to REALLY excise those playoffs demons...

Good luck guys

We're going to need more from the 2nd line (Kuznetsov's) to have a shot against the Pens. Our #1 line carried most of the scoring in this series.

Isles get over the hump. Tavares was HUGE. 2nd round in the East is going to be pretty damn good. Caps/Pens, Bolts/Isles.

Tavares is good. Hope they meet the Pens in the ECF and get the spanking they dodged in the first round.

Interesting to read how many people are saying we struggled against the Flyers, when in reality we dominated most of that series and it required a miracle in goal to extend it to 6. Flyers also much tougher Round 1 match up than the Rags with how each was playing in the 2nd half of the season. Caps/Pens will be interesting as hell...really wondering if we'll end up opening up more to go guns blazing with them, or go back to the heavy game and slow them down.

have you watched any of the commentary or read any articles?

We'll get to see how for real Murray is against Holtby. So far he's been as advertised.

I'd love to see St.Lewis go the distance.

If it's not the Caps, I'm all about the Blues or Sharks winning it all.

Hard to argue against the Caps. But I'm in reasonable driving distance to the Blues, and I'd go to see that shit.

Gonna be a fun series to watch. Wonder if Letang is gonna get full immunity again or if the league wants to throw Ovie a bone and get him past the second round. One way or the other, the league want$ thi$ to go to gam $even. Watch the trainwreck officiating thats about to take place.

/takes off tinfoil hat

As bad a the Rangers were, Pittsburgh was playing some really solid hockey. I gotta go pens in 7.
