Alexa, who won the game?

[CAA Flagship]

Well that was fun. Caps had no business being in that game through two periods and pulled out the win. That was the complete opposite of past years. Still feel they need to win Game 6 to win the series. Don't want this going 7.

Caps had to beat not only the Pens, not only the referees, but I'm not sure I've seen a more poorly officiated game from the linesmen. I have no idea if they track how many players get kicked out of the faceoff circle over the course of the game, but by my estimate it was Caps 37 - Pens 0. They also called three mystery offsides at very crucial times.

Paging baldy.

Yeah, you get the feeling that if they lose Game 6, they would lose Game 7. And that shot off the post in OT may have been the difference in the series. 1 inch may have been the difference.
Great game winning goal by the Caps.

But remember that Oshie rang one dead off the center of the iron earlier in the game. Obviously it's not an instant game winner, but still.

I don't expect to see baldy around a hockey thread for another 11 months. Heck, if the Pens were to not make the playoffs we may never see him again.

THE PENS HAD NO ANSWER TO NATHAN "WHO?" Walker!!! AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI!!!!

Or to the Putin connection of our stealth russkies...

I'll go ahead and step in to fill the void.

Do they play the Everblades?

No offense, but meh. Not the same. We know all Tampa fans are bandwagon fans. In years when they're no good they are consistently in the bottom half of the league in attendance.

Well this is the first time I've paid attention to hockey my whole life, so I'm more bandwagon then the rest of the bandwagoners.

I can even name like four or five guys on the team now.

If that's a real hockey team, it's a horrible name.

I've been to a game.

Too much Florida heat, when they game them their name.

That’s my team, too! They’re the ones playing the Caps, right?

Look at you commenting on a hockey thread!

But, don't you need to be taking your daughters on over to a play date at Dan's house? Best get going...

J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS!

Will Winnipeg break the streak and be the first Canadian team in like 25 years to win the Cup?

[Gil Dobie]

J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS!

J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS!

I remember when Bobby Hull played ( briefly) for them.

[Ivytalk]

Stick a fork in the Lightning. They be done.

[bluehenbillk]

I'm thinking the Russian mob has something to do with Tampa's performance, or lack thereof....

Bobby Hull is pretty good guy to talk to. Their Goalie, Joe Daley, has a memorabilia shop in Winnipeg and I went to a North Stars Stanley Cup finals game with son his Travis. I also met the Dale Hawerchuk version of the Jets in the early 1980's. They played an exhibition in Fargo, and I won a drawing at Chub's Pub to have Beer and Brats with the Jets. Got to walk around, sit and talk to most of the players, mostly with Dave Babych. Pretty good bunch of guys.

On a buying trip with Mr Mint, Alan Rosen, to Winnipeg, a guy walked in with a Stanley Cup Press Ribbon, from Winnipeg's 1901 or 1902, Stanley Cup Champions. Heard a lot of stories about Terry Sawchuk as a young, playing all day on the local rinks and not giving up a goal. Great Hockey town with a rich history.

This game was really 6-0. Neither Caps penalties that led to the Lightning goals were legit.

Caps are certainly in the driver's seat.

Jesus, Hen. Are you ever satisfied with anything? In a normal year, Ovie would be on the golf course by now.
