Without Malkin...Pens are average. Without Hagelin...speed is non-non-existent

Wahhhh.
Malkin got hurt trying to slewfoot Jori Lehtera.

The Giroux hit was late and high for sure. But the refs weren't calling anything either way. Can't be happy about 1 non-call and be pissed about another.

Good luck Caps. We gave you a fighting chance.

Well experience won in the end. I'm still puzzled on how the Leafs were able trade Gardiner to the Bruins before the game.

Yep, they sure can (and will). They did it last year without Crosby and Letang.

That game went from good to garbage VERY quickly.

What a horrible game by Gardiner... -5?

Leafs defence was a constant worry from the beginning of the year and it was exploited this series.

Blowing 3 leads to lose 7-4 is a horrible way to lose a game 7. This stings just as bad as 2013.

As usual we'll have to watch to see whats going on
lots of offensive weapons but if they could play alil better defense
If the Caps cant handle the Pens w/o Malkin & Hagelin
theyre going the way of the Flyers and quick
but the Caps seem motivated this year.. may be a good one

I sure hope you're right, this is my 35th year of masochism a.k.a. Caps fan.

Where he got shoulder checked before his leg cut out...hardly a sluefoot. But being a flyer fan, I get your frustrations.

Enjoy your off-season.

Pens took care o business and woke up in the 3rd
3 goals in 4 minutes
caps had plenty of chances tho.. sloppy Pens D
but the post played goalie for the caps twice tonight
it shouldve been like 5-2
this will be a better series than the flyers

[ShopVac]

Sad...Caps led from 10 seconds in...forgot they needed to lead at the last second out.

VGK up two...didn't work for the Caps, let's see the Sharkies respond. Damn...two quick goals

Edit: 3. @jgoens, where the fucks is your team?

[jgoens]

Looks like the Shark/Vegas game is over halfway into the first. Hopefully better for game 2.

WTF...they look like they're standing still. Get one on the PP here for crying out loud.

3-0 can be a kiss of death...can't give up 4 though

I'm not watching--only score watching on NHL.com--at work...but based on what I see, It's over.

[jgoens]

Haha..at this rate this game will end 12-0 or so. Turning it off. What a disappointment...I was looking forward to getting home to see the third----probably be like 8-0 by that time.

[ShopVac]

Yup 4. Stick a fork in this one. I'd say I've seem worse starts...but honestly, don't think I have.

[UncleWede]

I get home from the gym, pour a drink and tune in the see the sharkies didn't even show up. I think I have an episode of Lucifer to queue up instead

[UncleWede]

Don't they have hookers/blow/gambling in SJ???

yeah, I think the Sharks hung out in the Casino too much the night before. Think I will revise my prediction on how this series will go. Vegas in 4.

Will state this...it is easier to fix a 7-0 game compared to a 1-0 game.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

In theory assuming the Sharks had a really bad game and the Knights had a good game...but on the other side of the coin a 1-0 game may show it was really close and one team edged the other.

I saw some of the goals on highlights and they looked like picture perfect goals by the Knights and bad plays by the Sharks...a lot....might be too much to clean up. Looks like major adjustments are needed and it's the wrong time of year for that.

This game was just pure domination, maybe enough for the Sharks to not have an answer and toss in the towel.
