Saw this comparison,

Caps are the Bengals. Good during the regular season, then they run into a Pittsburgh team and lose in the playoffs.

 

[DopeyFish]

Presidents Trophy, 120 point season, Vezina goalie season

6-6 playoff record

Crazy

only 8 president trophy winners have won the cup in the last 30 years

and just for perspective.... only 11 times in the last 30 years has the president trophy winner made the finals

trophy is a curse

 

[Red_Man]

With that goal, Nick Bonino now has more playoff points than Brandon Sutter had regular season points.

Oh, Benning

Yup.

Combine that with the Caps willingness to choke, and you have a recipe for suck

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

Oh, Benning

holy shit, lol

 

[iLLmAtlc]

I've been underrating Lightning all playoffs but will they really be tougher than caps? The series was so close and the caps lost to the only team with a better record since Christmas or whatever.

 

[ActStriker]

Can someone please tell me more about the 2016 STANLEY CUP CHAMPION Washington Capitals?

 

[Socreges]

The Toronto Raptors of the NHL.

Tragic

Stop it. They're nothing alike

 

[kingslunk]

They know how to choke

Never realized that cleavage shot until just now lol

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Never realized that cleavage shot until just now lol

My man

Pens went 0-2-1 against the Lightning earlier this year before Sullivan. Pens have consistently been the best team in the league for about 2 months now. Crosby and Malkin were pretty quiet during the Caps series and they still won in 6. Pens have home ice advantage... it's their series to lose. Carl Hagelin is going to have a 7-goal game. Pens in 5.

The Caps are a regular season team. The Lightning are a playoff team.

 

[Yawnier]

Oh, Benning

 

[Socreges]

Oh, Benning

Bonino has had an awesome playoffs

But Sutter played in 20 games

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Lightning vs Penguins is going to be a fun series. Wouldn't that be nuts if Stamkos came back? I doubt he will though

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Yup.

Combine that with the Caps willingness to choke, and you have a recipe for suck

DC Curse Continues

 

[Heretic]

Never realized that cleavage shot until just now lol

what else is in that gi-- oh, hey. that one douche kid.

 

[Cake Boss]

Ovi 6 GP, 2-5-7, +2
Sid 6 GP, 0-2-2, -3

Sid Wins!!

Lol can't wait for the fuckery tomorrow how he chokes and doesn't care and all that stupid fuckery.

Wait toronto doesn't have an NFL team

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Wait toronto doesn't have an NFL team

Or do they......

 

[Alucard]

Pens/Bolts results from this season:

January 15th
5-4 Tampa in OT

February 5th
6-3 Tampa

February 20th
4-2 Tampa

Yep. Gonna be an interesting series.

oh yea they were during the Sullivan run, but...

Fleury, Fleury, Zatkoff.

All the losses were after Sullivan had already taken over and while they were winning against most other teams. Tampa won't be a cakewalk.

 

[RedRum]

Damn.

 

[Alucard]

I'm good with Ovie winning the Cup next season, or even back-to-back, if it means the Pens winning it this year.

 

[jello44]

Wait toronto doesn't have an NFL team

YET

The Bills nearly moved there

 

[Calamari41]

Brutal

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I don't he's winning a cup with Washington, ever. He's going to do it with another team. Just a feeling,

Ovie to Pittsburgh for Lovejoy, Kunitz, and a brand new skate sharpener.

 

[Marvie_3]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Caps


Now we wait for the broly quoting. I'll see you all on the other side.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I was thinking a Western Team TBH

 

[Heisenberg]

I hate everything.

GG Pens fans.

 

[zroid]

That's not a World Championships gold medal

 

[excelsiorlef]

What a fucked up game.

God bless HBK.


Line literally scores every goal tonight and none of these guys were Penguins last year. Hell this wasn't even a line until late in the season when Geno went down and now they carried the team to the ECF. Insanity.

 

[Syrinx]

Think about this.

The Hurricanes have been in the conference finals three times since the last time the Capitals were in it.

People will continue to pin it on the playoff format being unfair

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Caps are a great team and lost to a great team imo. It'd be one thing if the flyers did em in but i didn't see any choking at all.

 

[excelsiorlef]

People will continue to pin it on the playoff format being unfair

Well I mean to be fair. This was a matchup that would have been only possible in the ECF under a rational seeding system and not the baloney division seeding system.

I'll take it though. Glad to have the Caps behind us moving forward

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Savage!

Huh. Interesting.

 

[Marvie_3]

The canucks one from a few years ago was better

 

[zroid]

The Caps won the Presidents Trophy, and the Pens were the pick to win the Cup by a lot of #fancystats models. 6 close games and it was a great series.


edit: I guess game 5 wasn't all that close but you get the idea

 

[Slurmer]

The best part is that you know Broly was taking notes on all the caps shit talking going on in this thread once they tied the game and took it to OT, just waiting for the chance to post them and gloat.

Why would I sink to the Flyers levels?
