Rite of Spring 2018-“What happens in the playoffs stays in the playoffs”

[MiK]

I had to go and make a stupid comment about winning the period and Vegas scores with 3 seconds left. I'll never learn.

All I can think of now is that he learned Lick and it's Super Effective.

 No, no you wont. But hey, after the last two games, you got to be feeling a lot more optimistic about their chances. And then this game had to happen. Sure it aint over yet, but the Sharks are getting out-hustled and out-skilled right now. So lets regroup, make adjustments and force a game on Tuesday.

 

Also this game reminds me a lot of the 2013 series versus the Kings and I got a bad feeling its gonna end the same way.

[FiddySicks]

Sharks suck. I hate hockey.

That was close and it had me scared there. But Vegas escaped with the win.

So he thinks he'll get away with cause there's no official rule against licking? Like the Avery rule, now I'm waiting for the creation of the "Marchand" rule. OITGDNHL.

At this point, I think Marchand wants a rule named after him.

There is a penalty for that..."Unsportsmanlike Conduct". Nail him with that a few times and he'll stop the licking B.S. For christ's sake NHL, either allow enforcers and player retribution, or friggin' call the penalties. Doing neither just creates an environment that encourages rats like Marchand.

Welcome back, playoff Caps. You were not missed. 

[Cosmic]

Well at least Caps fans had one last moment in the sun.

[Red Wolf]

It's going to be sad watching the Caps inevitably lose the next two games.

[Crabcake]

Well, not gonna lie I wasn’t expecting that response. Thought we would have rolled over and thrown in the towel at 3-2, but a good response. 

 

This means absolutely nothing yet.

That's what I'm thinking too.

 

The Pittsburgh Penguins have become the NHL's New England Patriots. They are trailing by quite a bit and yet they are still the heavy favorites to win. Everyone's expecting them to just come out of it all.

[CraigJPritch]

The Caps are up 3-2 in a series vs the Penguins! Nothing can go wrong now!

Caps 1 win away from going to the Conference Finals. Hold on, I think I've seen this movie before....

[BeerGuyJordan]

I'm really pulling for the Caps. It'd be nice for them to break this cycle of abuse their fans keep going through, against the Pens.

[habsfan1]

I won't believe the Caps beat the Pens, until the final horn goes off and the Caps beat the Pens.

Only to get thumped by Tampa Bay

[Red Wolf]

I'm ready for the NHL to start rigging this thing in favor of the Preds like I keep hearing about. 

[BeerGuyJordan]

Well, I'm not calling it, but I am raiding the beer fridge with extreme prejudice.
