    I have to say this man...this team has been so darn good the past 4 playoffs. We realy need to acknowledge that.

    ECF in 2012, 2nd round in 2013, SCF in 2014, ECF in 2015 (and hopefully more).

    What an amazing run. Have done it all except win the cup. Hopefully that will change soon.

    I like those kids the caps have, Kuznetsov and Burokavski.

    How quickly would you take him on the Rangers?

    Seriously. 14 one goal games in a row. It's like they are trying to kill their fans.

    Backstrom was so invisible this series I don't think they would notice if he didn't get on the plane.

    8 series wins in the past 4 playoffs. A ton of OT wins, and game 7 wins, and elmination game wins. To me it all starts with Hank, the man will do anything to win.

    That's why the time is now. They have to win the damn cup now. Another final four. It's has to happen now.

    For sure Mess. Great player. And the Caps have a good future. They will get there.

    Yeah, Backstrom was awful. Sorry but I laugh when people talk about him as a stud. He LIVES off of OV...period.

    Caps HAVE to make changes. Ov cannot do it alone and a generational talent is going to waste.

    I know some here think this is tennis and OV should have done it all by himself already, but it's not and his teams have always been severely flawed and in tight checking playoffs you need more than 1 player who can score.

    BTW...hank is 10 and 0 in his last elimination games at the Garden. There were some fools who have said he is not a playoff goalie...LOL

    Looking ahead to the TB series, I expect 7. I expect 1-1 after two games. I would say Bolts win game 1 on Saturday afternoon, little hangover for the Rangers. We win game 2. Then away we go.

    More unreal numbers. In his last six game 7s Lundy is 6-0 with a 0.80GAA. Has tied Marty and Roy with the most game seven wins. Thankfully he took care of that positioning issue.

    As I said before, DMoore is unsung hero for the last two years. One of the best moves Sather has ever made is bring DMoore back.

    He's one of those guys who really ups his game for the playoffs. Is very consistent which you really have to like. He played a great game tonight.

    Kuznetsov is what we might be looking at in Buchnevich.

    Has Al Trautwig been smoking some crack lately? He looks so awful.
