Florida letting Vegas get Marchessault was suspect at the time and has only looked worse.

He's gotta get the C by next year, right?

This year's pathetic choke brought to you by the useless sack of shit known as Braden Holtby.

If Trotz had any balls at all, he'd start Grubauer in Game 5.

Dale isn't that bad, the Panthers team he built made the playoffs got worse when he was removed from power then came back with 96 points.

He wasn't the one who got rid of Gallant, getting rid of Smith didn't seem like that bad a move. Now getting rid of March was bad, but he's also built a much stronger Panthers team than what came before him.

Getting rid of Jokinen and Jagr to get Dadonov doesn't look too bad now.

Oh and how do you think your GM would do with Viola as the owner? He interferes a lot, likes to push his own guys and placed an internal cap.

This is such a fucking joke.

Remember when I said that they needed to win the games they were dominant, because eventually, they wouldn't be dominant, and they certainly wouldn't win those ones?

Fuck this team.

The Capitals, all time, are 13-43 once they've taken a 2-game lead in a post season series.

That doesn't even seem possible.

Wasn't everyone saying that the Lightning were going to crush whoever won between the Penguins and Capitals? Suddenly the Lightning start playing like how we thought they'd play but now it's the better team that's going to lose in the conference finals? C'mon.

I seem to remember everyone preaching that goaltending is most important in the playoffs. Well, I'd take Fleury over Hellebuyck any day. And the Knights roster is clearly good enough to win multiple series and even the Stanley Cup with a goaltender like Fleury in net. Hellebuyck had a career year but this is the only year he's had any success. Shouldn't be surprising that he's crapping the bed right now and it shouldn't be surprising that the Knights are winning this series.

Holy crap what. Do you have a source for that? Because that may be the most mind-boggling stat I've ever heard considering I'd expect the overall win rate for a team once they take a 2-game lead in a series to be well over 80%.

Remember when I said this:

"So long as they don't get embarrassed (i.e. swept or lose a clinching/elimination game by giving up a big lead late) by Tampa, I think they're fine."


And then they went up 2-0 on the road.

And then NBC said "No team who has ever won a the first two games of a conference final on the road has ever lost the series."

LOL

Caps have been the better team on the ice in four out of five games of this series. But it doesn't matter, somehow they went 2-2 in those games, and, as per usual, winless in the games in which they're not dominant.

welcome to what it's like to be a caps fan extha, it's blue balls in hockey form. even the year i didn't expect much, they've managed to both exceed expectations and disappoint.

realllllly hoping game 6 proves they're the better team.

At the risk of looking stupid for the tenth time in a row when it comes to Vegas predictions, I wouldn't be surprised if they had a disappointing year next year after the hype and underdog story dies down, regardless of what happens in the finals.

I'd put better odds on them missing the playoffs than having a repeat of what they managed to do this year.

Getting to the finals(And perhaps, winning) is in fact a lot harder than missing the playoffs outright.

So its not exactly a good bet.

Best odds are on neither of those things happening.
