Don Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'll take it! As Red looves to point out, any playoff series win for us is a huge victory.

"Just make something up."So the tender pours vodka, cream and sugar on the bar directly. He says "There you go. 5.50."The guy says, "What do you call that?!"The tender says "It's called an Ovechkin. It's a white Russian without a Cup." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 In my opinion the weather was normally an advantage for the Pens, its well known that the Caps like to get fancy and the Pens are the keep it simple team... [theregoesmazwhiningagain]That's one of the pens' problems - they don't keep it simple. Especially on the power play. They made plays last night that might have worked, barely, inside. But last night all that blew up in their face. Granted, it was outside, and throwing staal in the lineup probably messed up their chemistry since it messed up the lines, including the recently-productive third line, but hopefully they learn from this and stop trying to make the perfect highlight reel play every time.People other than Sid need to score. The powerplay is terrible.[/theregoesmazwhiningagain]Didn't they win a Cup and Crosby becoming master of all things hockey by keeping it simple? What happened? The way HBO portrays Bylsma is him being a great tactical genius. I'm honestly intrigued as to what made them switch from what made them successful in the playoffs. Maybe they dont feel the need to play that way till the playoffs?Bylsma is a tactical genius, for the most part. The thing is, sometimes they try to much to be geniuses and make the right play when all they gotta do is to just, well, do it. This is mostly why the power play is so bad. Sometimes, they should just shoot. You're not always going to get the goalie out of position or make the defense look foolish. After they won the cup, the following major issues appeared the next season: Fleury was average at best, there wasn't secondary scoring, Malkin fell off the face of the earth, the powerplay was awful, they don't know how to play from behind anymore, and they try too hard to make the right play as opposed to the smart one. Only thing that has gotten better is Fleury, who is having a great season. Other than that, the power play still sucks, Malkin is still average, only Sidney is scoring (granted, at legendary pace), and as evidenced partly by last night, they can't play from behind. They get sloppy and frustrated and panic. Part of what won them the cup was being able to face the adversity and get it done, and to take advantage of the other team's mistakes. That's how they came back from three goals down vs. Philly, or from a 1 game to 3 deficit against Washington and Detroit.I have faith in the pens. They have done great this year so far, despite all of that. But if some of those things don't get better, then they aren't going to win the cup, if they even make the finals. Looking at pens history, the dominant regular season teams have always been the disappointing ones in the playoffs. It was really refreshing to see Pittsburgh's stadium get invaded for once, since you know, they invade everyone else's home stadiums.Hell yeah. There were large swaths of red in the crowd. I was proud to be a Caps fan seeing us invade someone elses stadium.This is only because the NHL designated tickets for Caps fans. If the NHL doesn't do this, it's all Pens fans. Guaranteed.Also, your friends didn't do you guys any favors. Worst group of away fans I have ever seen. I usually give away fans the benefit of the doubt and focus on the good ones, but I don't think I saw a single tolerable caps fan last night. Worse than a Montreal, Toronto, or even Philly crowd.

You guys lost, our fans were happy, alot of Pens fans left early. Of course we were gonna cheer and be loud, it was a night game, on New Years weekend, most of the fans were I'm sure pretty well lubricated, theres gonna be obnoxious people on both sides. I heard it was a pretty good crowd on both sides with a few fights to be had but thats expected with all the hours of tailgating that was done.

I really thought things were going to be different when we scored 37 seconds into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi74 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It was really refreshing to see Pittsburgh's stadium get invaded for once, since you know, they invade everyone else's home stadiums.It really wasn't a invasion, the Caps got a allotment of 30,000 tickets that they used around 26,000 of. It was like a bowl game ticket wise, but the NHL screwed up by not having the seating like a bowl game or neutral site college football game.The NHL also screwed up with the Alumni Game, they could have had over 60,000 for that easily.

I was reading a number of people who were more excited to see Mario come back in that game then they were for the classic itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrySmalls Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Mindless, in reference to the conditions concerning our bet, the Caps have earned you the right to choose what the loser of the bet uses as their signature.The Penguin vs. The Capital. Seeing how the NHL Guardian Project by Marvel is shaping up to be quite the horrendous publicity stunt, the non-winner of this seasons bet must incorporate the oppositions mascot in a positive and supportive light in their signature, and as their only signature image, until the end of the NHL Playoffs or whenever the victor sees fit (e.g., to break a playoff jinx or start of the 2011-12 NHL Season).

This was a "Hey Ted, would you like your team to play in this game?" type deal. He could've said no, but he said yes with such and such conditions and the League gave in.
