Is there not a running NHL season thread?

    Reminded me of that Flyers-Penguins game that went long in 2000. Or the Stars-Ducks game that went 3OT in 2003 where everyone thought the game was over but the goal was disallowed.

    And these are the Sharks we've all come to know and dread in the playoffs.

    The Pens have played great hockey the whole second half of the season -- clearly the best team the last few months. You shouldn't write off their wins against a "choking" Rangers teamsand against a "choking" Caps team if the Pens close it out.It's playoff hockey, and they are winning like they are supposed to. It's not just other teams choking. The Pens are deep and they can skate and those games are pressure cookers. It causes other teams to make mistakes. You have to play perfect against Pittsburgh.

    I have no objection to anybody chirping the Washington Capitals but I generally hate the choke label in team sports. Especially when people assign the choke label to a team playing the Pittsburgh Penguins.

    It's like these people are ignoring there's a whole other team of world-class athletes on the other bench trying to prevent the Capitals from doing what they want to do.

    I'm known to be emotional after games, semi-rational between them.

    Penguins have taken advantage of every single turnover in the Caps' defensive zone. It's uncanny. I'll give them a hell of a lot of credit for that. That's how you win playoff games.

    I was tequila hungover and it was dreary and cold after the Game 4 loss, so take that post for what it's worth. :)

    It is odd, though, that so many different teams have been wildly successful at doing so.

    I'm just going to take solace in the fact that the Rangers were 100 seconds from being bounced last year but rallied to win the series. A series is not over until one team wins four games.
     
  9. Christ, Caps are playing with purpose out of the gate.
    Wow.
     
  10. Holtby was lights out second period. Pens offense is out of sync.

    Maybe, but they are outshooting the Caps, 27-14, and trailing by two in the third.
