[QUOTE=mgftp;1699675353]Caps and Detroit are more interesting in the playoffs. If the Flyers get in the will grind out boring defensive hockey to hopefully eek out of round 1. Caps and Det at least bring some entertainment and could push deeper in the playoffs if they get hot.[/QUOTE]

na the flyers dont play a boring defensive style, they just work hard af. I can see them putting a scare in a good team and taking them 6-7 games, just out of hustle and being physical. Issue is even if they did make it out of the first they would be dead tired, goaltending is eh and the PP is dreadful

[QUOTE=SSM12;1699680203]Torts would be the only reason I’d like to see Philly in. For entertainment value.[/QUOTE]

True, he is entertainment. Refusing to leave the bench recently was great.

I've seen torts implement a defense first structure in the playoffs far too often, God his playoff games as a Rangers coach were so boring. Perhaps he has evolved though.

Jets are collapsing in real time they always pull this chit right before the playoffs. Go on a huge losing streak then out ASAP in the first round.

5 game homestand at least got a point vs Oilers, but Vegas next. Need to get their act together the Special Teams is well "Special" Absolutely dreadful. Can't even get any zone entries on a double minor penalty just lmao.

I completely agree with this Flyers in the playoffs is always fun especially when you have Torts, and Flyers fans are pretty rabid. I'd rather Caps in over Det as much as I love me some Kaner I just think they would get slaughtered first round in 5 or swept.

Flyers in would be dope but thats becoming day to day, and Id like to see the caps in more than det, wanna see ovi in another series, maybe Wilson decapitates someone etc...

Caps coming for that last metro spot. Couple tough ones the next few though.

The classic Ole Cliche is no game is ever easy, BUT I'm looking at flyers remaining schedule

Montreal
Chicago
Isles
Buffalo
Columbus

No Western Teams...Cmon MAN!

Going to Wings Canes tonight. Stepdad got free tickets. Even as a Caps fan, I’m pulling for Detroit. Caps can jump Philly and Det can get WC

I say all that to say that if anyone here bets, Aho always scores at least one when I’m in person. Make of that what you will.

Toronto has the Caps number; (7-3) 8 days ago and(5-1) last night.

Ya. But det and phili lost so I’m okay with it. No standings change. Caps always play well vs Boston, playoffs still looking likely.

[QUOTE=ScrillaIsBake;1699906173]The Coyotes walked so the misc could run[/QUOTE]

Even back during this place's peak there was only one Yotes fan here. I wonder if a Salt Lake City fan will emerge.

And we are back.

Jets 7 Colorado 0

And they will meet in the first round with Colorado as a landslide(no pun) to win.

We'll see...

Jets 7 Colorado 0


WE WHITEOUT BOYOS LETS FUKKING GO!!!!!

dude suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

so bad

never seen a lower effort, higher paid loafer in my life

thank **** kings probably draw coilers again 1st round and get punted again so the robitaille/blake experiment ends

Hoping to head up to Edmonton for the first 2 games of the playoffs. But fuk me if we have to play LA again. I don’t want Vegas because if stones spleen is magically healed by game 1 which it will be that’s a solid team. But LA will be out for blood. Matchup wise it’s great but LA isn’t going to roll over that’s for damn sure.

Isn’t that who you all got in Rd1 too? Good statement game

Huge for Caps vs B’s tonight. Just win out and let the other teams do what they do and see what happens. At this rate just what you can. LFG!

Also lol at people making means about being -40 as a team. The caps win games 2-1 3-2 but when they lose they lose by 3 give or take. Often it’s an EN goal or two. I get -40 is bad but the stat doesn’t tell the story.

That said, they need to play run and gun like they did verse Tampa. They win those back and forth games. It’s when they try to sit back and play conservative they get in trouble. The other team always gets up 1 and the caps can’t turn it on with enough time to catch up.


Caps need atleast a point tonight. Even so, without winning these next 2 I think they are done.

[QUOTE=ScrillaIsBake;1699911933]If it wasn't for the Coyotes, Matthews woulda been a baseball player so I thank them[/QUOTE]

If Matthews had gone to Arizona it may have been enough to keep the team there.


[QUOTE=ScrillaIsBake;1699911933]I hope Utah becomes the Yetis[/QUOTE]


[size=+3][b][i][color=red]The Utah Uterus!!![/color][/b][/i][/size]


The Jerseys could be red on red.

Announcer "There's going to be blood on the ice tonight!"

Announcer "The Bruins are looking for an opening but The Uterus has been shut tight."

Based Rangers

Let’s go boys! Just. Beat. The. Flyers.

Reminds me of 07/08 when caps beat Florida 3-1 in their final game. Then Florida had to play in Carolina the next night and beat them in regulation for the Caps to clinch the South East and make the post season after being last on Thanksgiving before Boudreau was hired.

Florida had 9 penalties that game. Carolina 0. Living in Raleigh they were running playoff hype ads and tickets etc. Florida won the game. Caps got the playoff spot and Carolina missed.

Saying all that, 3-1 Caps tonight and a series vs NYR

1994: Earthquake, Eclipse, OJ Simpson case, Knicks and Rangers both end their regular season with 50+ wins, Knicks finish 2nd in the east, Rangers win Presidents trophy with most wins in franchise history, Rangers win Stanley cup

2024: Earthquake, Eclipse, OJ Simpson dies, Knicks and Rangers both end their regular season with 50+ wins, Knicks finish 2nd in the east, Rangers win Presidents trophy with most wins in franchise history, Rangers…

[QUOTE=WestAfrica;1699983453]Based Rangers[/QUOTE]

Brilliant close to the season. Let's bring it in the playoffs, feel like they have the best team since 94, however, the league is a lot tighter at the top today than it was back then.

flyers are done phukkk u all

I’m on spread with most of you in here but I’ll try to rep, Caps are in boys fuucckkk

So i am in DC and i am shocked the Caps put it together after following the last 15 games, well done!

[QUOTE=x-trainer ben;1700031203]So i am in DC and i am shocked the Caps put it together after following the last 15 games, well done![/QUOTE]

The last 2 games were crazy fun to watch.

Poor Detroit. Those late comebacks were awesome to watch.

I do feel bad for Detroit. Isles and all those loser points. Caps should be Metro 3. Det WC2 in a perfect world.

[QUOTE=kcadrenalin;1700036873]The last 2 games were crazy fun to watch.[/QUOTE]

That Ovetchkin guy may be good, watch him.

Why can't I find a playoff bracket anywhere?

Please assist
