thesweetscience Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Series is far from over. Pens have withstood the Caps best efforts, but that doesn't mean Washington is done. Although the fact that they just can't beat Pittsburgh is bizarre. Caps have lost 8 out 9 playoff series against the Pens.Series is over. The Capitals are a mentally weak team. If they are going to win a game it will have to be tonight. Even still they will drop the next two and be done. If they lose tonight they are getting swept. The Pens are the Champs. Might as well etch the cup right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 What a play by Crosby with that puck control. Best player . No doubt. This kid is going to give Sid a run for his money in a few years. The edge control and puck control skills on display here are off the charts, and he follows it with a snipe. http://youtu.be/BtigFmeNSAw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them wizards with the puck on their sticks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithrandir Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 While not really a cheap shot, Niskanen still had his stick in crosscheck position instead of on the ice. Sure it was a reaction, but the typical reaction that seems prevalent in hockey that being a crosscheck. Ridiculous and why hockey is bush league.

blackhawkrush Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Pens lost arguably the best defenseman in the NHL in Letang. I think you meant to say 'One of the best offensive defensemen.' His play in the D-zone leaves much to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we know, hockey players can continue to operate without a jaw. Even Crosby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Daley in the box, Shattenkirk with the goal. Reminded me of Hawks-Blues game. :eyeroll: Seriously! ;) Sometimes the Pens/Caps end up confusing Mr. blues and myself; we are schizophrenic fans! Since we're from Pittsburgh, we're strong Pens fans. However, being strong hockey fans, we go to quite a few AHL games for the local team, the Hershey Bears. Which are . . . the Caps farm team. Who frequently play the Scranton/WB Penguins; the Pens farm team. So on a minor league level we are pulling for the Caps, kind of, and against the Pens??!! It's fun when you get to see someone like Tristan Jarry play (goalie for baby Pens that got called up) , not so fun when you get to see Tom Sestito (wing for baby Pens that gets called up when they need him sometimes); that guy is a thug whenever he plays. But sometimes I end up trying to remember who is playing where at the moment!! :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed at the Hotel Hershey or Hershey Hotel, whatever it's called. We skated on its fake ice in August, which was cool. My son got a pretty cool Hershey Bears hat out of the trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
