Series Discussion Thread - Washington Capitals vs Pittsburgh Penguins

[Sharky94]

I hope I'm wrong, but I've been saying since last year, I won't buy into the hype until they can manage to somehow get past the Flightless Waterfowl. Cindy in 7.

Technically, Penguins are not classified as "fowl". They belong to their own order called Sphenisciformes. Flightless bird, yes. Flightless water fowl, no. Sorry to nit-pick!

However, to your point, I too am not sure Washington will get past Pittsburgh. History suggests no, but I think this incarnation of the Capitals might be able to do it. I don't like Crosby or Ovechkin, so it doesn't matter to me...either way, a player I don't like will move on.

I'd like to see Fleury win another series in these playoffs too.

I say Caps in 7, because fandom.

Crosby. Twice. That's how you turn a game to your whim.

Thats 1 game for the good guys!! Crosby is big in Game 1, scoring 2 goals. Bonino gets the winner on a partial breakaway late in the 3rd period. The seeds of doubt begin to creep!! Go Pens Go!!!!!!!

That scramble at the end was intense, but M-A Fleury shut the door! Great game !

[RGM81]

Bonino! Bonino! Bonino! Bonino! Bonino! Bonino! Nick Boniiiiiiiiinoooooooo!!!

[jameslacarte]

Uh oh!! Game 2 to the Pens!! Heading back to Pittsburgh for the next 2 games. Fleury looks like Fleury of old. Gonna be a tough hill to climb for the Choker Caps..

Marc-Andre Fleury :)
