lerxt1990 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 This is more like it. The league even got the refs in on the action.Yep, if there's one thing the league wants to see, it's the ratings juggernaut, the Tampa Bay Lightning, in the Finals.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsonmistymemory Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Just got home from Amalie, & :( is all I can come up with now.I will comment more after digesting (for a little minute) what I witnessed tonight...Lets GO lightning!!! :hockeygoon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesweetscience Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) The only thing I can think right now is that things are setting up for the Capitals to do what they do best, collapse in epic fashion. The only thing more epic than blowing a 2 game lead in the conference finals is to blow a three game lead. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Caps win the next game at home only to drop 4 straight after that. That’s the only thing that makes any sense at this point. Go Caps............and take the Wizards, Nats, and Redskins with you! Edited May 14, 2018 by thesweetscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimsonmistymemory Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Whew, well here we are game 3 of the conference finals! I am still in a haze of dismay of the results of game 1&2. I know my Sticks of Fire are a much better team than what I had the privilege of watching (live) at home. Without dissing on the Caps it is hard for me to tell if they're that much better than us or we are just playing way below our level? I do realize respect is earned for ANY team that makes it this far in today's NHL. I really think if me Bolts cannot figure out how to correct & overcome what the Caps have been doing to us and do what the Caps may not expect, it maybe be a very short series :( I do agree with reports from the national media that tonight is as close to a must win since game 7 in the conference finals 2016 against the blueschica Pens (one we lost). I (& the city of Tampa) just hope the team that showed up for games 3,4,& 5 of round 2 make an appearance tonight! the odds are now against us but winning 4 at this point is not impossible! It all starts with a win tonight...Lets GO Lightning!!! ⚡⚡⚡⚡ :hockeygoon: Edited May 15, 2018 by Crimsonmistymemory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesweetscience Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 The Capitals are 0-2 in playoff series where they won the first 2 games on the road. They have blown 2 game leads 10 times in their history. Let the meltdown begin and the tradition continue!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesweetscience Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 JR summed it up. The thing is, while other teams rebound from bad performances, the Capitals will not. They never have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
