The_Admiral Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Interesting that Winnipeg dramatically reduced its penalty minutes this year, but now in this series against the NHL's Li'l Darlin', there's nothing they can't get sent to the box for. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Wolf Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Jets are about to win because of the NHL’s conspiracy to screw over Nashville with those three straight penalties and no other reason that a rational person could think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I'll believe the Caps will beat the Penguins when they've actually done it. Until then? I'm convinced Pittsburgh will find a way to pull it out. It's nothing personal, Caps fans. I don't actually have anything against you guys or your team. Olaf Kolzig was pretty cool, after all. I'm just saying. I've become jaded and cynical regarding this team in the playoffs. Prove me wrong, Capitals. Prove me wrong.

This wasn't a jokey reverse jinx bit, I legitimately had no confidence in that lead holding. Everything about how the Preds got those 3 was so flukey. The Jets comeback was more inevitable that amazing, sadly. Predators would appear to be doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcake Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I have this really sickening feeling that the Caps are going to win Thursday, go up 3-1, and blow it in 7, meaning that if they would have prevented the five minute meltdown of Game 1, they would have wrapped up the series already.

Until they beat the Penguins two more times, all these leads and good performances mean absolutely nothing. This series should be 3-0 Caps and even if it was I still wouldn't feel good. Reasons to be optimistic - I think that was Murray's best game of the 3 and they still lost. I'd wager on at least one more stinker out of him. The Penguins blue line might be the worst defensive unit left in the playoffs (and did anyone catch Kris Letang whacking Ovechkin with his stick after the goal? I'm so ready for their brand of bitchy, snotty crybaby hockey to end). The Penguins can't seem to score when the Crosby line isn't on the ice so that's something to watch as well. Reasons to pessimistic - a call went against the Penguins which means the officials will get a directive to even it up in the next game even though it would take about 35 crucial bad calls or bad no-calls to work against Pittsburgh before the universe is squared. Tom Wilson should probably take a seat for a game or two. He's targeted at least 5 melons in the playoffs and the league's done nothing. The Penguins thrive off of trolling, which means being down in a series is the exact situation they're built for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As best I can tell, it went 1) get Patrik Laine 2) stop taking dumb penalties 3) Hellebuyck matures into elite goalie That's not to sell Ehlers, Connor, or other recent-ish draft picks short (the Jets are an overwhelmingly drafted/developed roster), but those were the biggest turning points in what's otherwise been a pretty constant model. I did laugh when Lambert said "all the Jets had to do to get this good was have good goaltending." Well, kinda, but there's also the matter of the 19-year-old who scored 44 goals... ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 If you haven't been keeping tabs on Dan Carcillo, which is to say you've been out living your life like a well-adjusted human being, you might be surprised to find out he's become an advocate for player safety. Zeal of the convert, huh? I guess Wilson does have a hearing coming up now. I hope he gets suspended at least three games, which is what Andrew Shaw got for brushing up against a flopping Mike Smith six (!) years ago. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
