As a hardcore Pens fan, I may catch some sh!t for this...BUT...I want the Caps to win. Nothing against Flower, but Ovie is one of the best in the game and he deserves it. And although Oshie beat up my boy Letang, I kinda like him too.

I do not like Ovie, at all... I think he's a jackass. He is a good player though and his team has deserved better over the last five years or so. I don't really know who I am rooting for ultimately. I just want an entertaining and extended series.

For some reason Vegas thinks throwing a tantrum and committing a bunch of cheap penalties at the end of an ass beating is “toughness.” In reality, that just shows you’re mentally soft.

The Vegas team we saw all playoffs until these last two games was quite scary and extremely confident... for the Caps sake, I hope we keep seeing the team we saw tonight and not the mentality that got them this far.

I don’t think it’s them trying to be “tough”, I think they’re legitimately frustrated. This is the first time all year somebody has had their number.

I’m glad your boys are almost there, lord knows theyve paid their dues... but I have to point out the irony of a Caps fan pointing out how another team gets cheap when getting beat down.... lol

I hope Vegas wins at least one more to make it interesting.

Tom Wilson's regular cheap shots and antics not withstanding, I really can't think of a single time I've seen a Caps team start a bunch of scuffles or have a bunch of cheap penalties at the end of a playoff game where they were down 3+ goals. And maybe the Caps should do that kind of stuff more often, because lord knows for over a decade whatever they were trying to do to create an aggressive/confident/winning mentality in the playoffs was not working.

They’d played their asses off tonight too when they easily could’ve folded. Probably the greatest season of any expansion franchise in any American sport, ever.

RIP to all those amazing Caps/No cups memes and gifs over the last five years or so... those were glorious.

Ray Emery was 35.

Apparently, his body was found having drowned in a country club in Ontario.

In the article I read, they had a link to him getting into 2 fights in like 90 seconds. Baller move for a goalie to drop the gloves.

RIP

R.I.P Razor. I was so pumped when the Flyers signed him, too bad he had the hip problem. It’s anazing he made it back to play in the NHL.

IIRC, his hip injury was the same one Bo had. Pretty serious stuff.
