13 more wins until the Capitals claim their first Stanley Cup. After listening to the glorification of Sidney Crosby on the NHL Network and ESPN, I assume #8 was nauseated and knew it was time to step up. Great players are measured by titles and now it is Ovechkin’s turn. Semyon Varlamov was simply outstanding in the cage … Read More »
Why oh why did Crosby have to score the game winner. I am sure he will get a rousing welcome when he comes to Verizon in March. #8 can’t be happy.
12PM at the Verizon Center–even after a blizzard I hear this is an impossible ticket.
If the USA is eliminated and the Gold medal game comes down to Canada vs Russia. —-Then——-Sorry , I can’t rout for any team Sid the Kid is on. #8 is the man and I guess Poidem Rossii (Let’s Go Russia).
Marc-Andre Fleury emerged from the abyss of Game 5 to lead the Penquins to a 2-1 victory at Pittsburgh last night. But it was 2 remarkable saves by Scuderi in the final seconds after Fleury was virtually out of the cage, that saved the victory. Game 7 Friday night at Detroit.
In a game reminiscent of the shellacking Pittsburgh gave the Caps in Game 7, Detroit thoroughly humbled Malkin, and Sid, etc. The Pens looked finished as they cheapshotted their way through the end of the game. The Red Wings will put Siney out of his misery on Tuesday.
The Stanley Cup finals return to Detroit tonight as the Penguins look to keep their winning streak alive. The Pens are younger, more energetic and have momentum on their side. Evgeni Malkin is playing the best hockey he’s played in these playoffs.Sid the Kid will step up tonight,and there will be a changing of the guard as #87 leads his team to victory. Look for Pittsburgh to close out the series on their own ice in game six.
I am going to keep it simple:
thoroughly outplayed
thouroughly outcoached
Penquin skeletons still in closet
May I say I have been to thousands of sporting events and yes this was the toughest ticket I have ever seen. Hundreds … Read More »
Now that I have joined the #8 fan club, I have to put my bias aside for the following prediction. It is inconceivable that Mike Green will continue to be a no show in this series. The Caps defense must provide better support for Varlamov. The performance of the defense after the Caps took a 4-3 lead was a joke. A piece of advice #87 for Pittsburgh hangs around the net, maybe somebody should keep an eye on him. Key … Read More »
The defense remains weak but the Caps resolve was strong as Ovie had 3 assists and played a tremendous game leading his Caps to victory. When the caps took the lead on Koslov’s goal the team went into offensive hibernation. Varlamov stopped shot after shot until Crosby rebounded one in with 4 minutes left. It was great to see … Read More »
