That is kind of you to say. I really despise the Pens in a very petty and envious way. The Pens have beaten the Caps in eight of their nine playoff matchups. The Caps have, of course, won game 1 in every single one of those series except 2000 and blown two game leads four times. I doubt many clubs have blown that many two game series leads in all their history, much less to just one opponent. The 2009 series was especially shit and there was this very vocal Pens fan on the board I blew up at at the time. I don't remember who that was but definitely not my best moment.

So, yeah, you don't need to tell me this series is going to be tougher. I think CdM will be enjoying this one alot.

Well, Letang is injured, so is Matt Murray.  You got two very good players totally absent from the line-up, not coming back soon (Letang is not coming back for the entire season, Murray is unsure).  Hagelin and Kunitz are still injured, not sure if they're coming back for the series.

This your chance Valmy.

I'm sorry, but I'm on the other side of this one. :)

Caps seemed to let the Leafs dictate the play in that first series, and in the regular season they were the ones dictating how the game would go.  Washington's talent and experience won out, but that worries me for the Caps against the Pens because Crosby has no issue dominating the game his way.  The Caps need to get back to their confident brand of hockey and demand a series win with sure as shit solid play.

Well ok considering how the Caps usually win game 1 and lose anyway maybe it is for the best.

Sorry V. :console:

So the Devils win the lottery, and the Flyers move up like 10+ spots.  Guess it really doesn't pay to tank. :hmm:

The Pens are due. They once lost to the Caps 23 years ago.

Well, if you want to look at the bright side, a few years ago, the Flyers were losing 3-0 in game 4, also 3-0 in the series.
And suddenly, they won the game and the series 4-3.  And they went on for the cup.  So it ain't over 'til it's over.

There was an odd moment at the start of yesterday's Oilers-Ducks game.  Since the 2006 playoff run the anthem singer will belt out the first couple bars of Oh Canada, and then the fans in the arena take over.  It's a nice bit of patriotism, but that's about it.

But last night they had a country singer in to sing the Star Spangled Banner, but his microphone wasn't working.  So he got the crowd to sing it - and they did a remarkable job considering, you know, it's not their own anthem.  It was kind of neat to watch.

Fuck Canada and your politeness.  :P

There is a guy I recently met who is a West Point grad and did a couple tours in Afghanistan before leaving the army. Seems like he would be a macho guy, right? Only he is 29, but seriously overweight, and is about the opposite of macho. He apparently got his mother to send him Gilmore Girls tapes in Afghanistan so he could keep up.

Anyway, I heard a story that he was in a piano bar in South Carolina and they were taking song requests. He requested "O Canada", because "it is a great song." Everyone started booing, and half the bar requested the "star spangled banner", which got a rousing ovation. After the "Star Spangled Banner" played, they invited all the veterans in the audience to come on stage for acknowledgement. He was apparently the only veteran in the building.  :lol:
