Caps win and guess who fails me this time?

Tuesday, April 28, 2009

First off.... CAPS WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN! It was a sloppy, messy, icky game but they pulled out a win. Semin pinballed the puck into the back of the net after Antropov had already put the puck past Simeon. A pile of icky and virtually penalty free minutes came and then finally... with 5 something, Fedorov puts one past Lundqvist. Best part of the night! For an old guy (sorry) it was great to see him get a goal when it mattered the most.

Of course Simeon was awesome and Lundqvist was awesome for most of the night too. Ovie was not so good. I dunno why the heck he was being double shifted because he looked really dead until Fedorov scored and then he practically killed the guy by jumping on him. I swear the guy is going to kill one of his teammates by squashing them...

The best part though, was seeing the Caps fans and the signs they brought with them. One had Avery as Bart and Tortorella as Homer saying "I'm going to waterbottle you". The Caps fans right behind Torts also had rain ponchos on. Needless to say, I died laughing and now I really want to find that poster....

Now unfortunately, the Caps will be facing the Puffles next because Brodeur and Co failed utterly in the last 1:30 and lost 4-3. Roy's curse lives on (stupid Roy....Stop cursing people!). Way to lose a game that looked for sure like you were going to win. Thanks for nothing. Brodeur now gets added to the Club of Epic Failures. Congrats. Don't worry though. Biron is still president of the club. I can't say how mad I am at the Devils for losing. I don't want to see a Puffles/Washington series. I really wanted the see the Bruins and the Pens knock each other out or something. I can just picture Mr. Puffle's perky face as he scores.... UGH. UGH. UGH. UGH.

And in World Championsip new...

And poor Jaro.... His team failed so epically... I wanted to go and hug the poor guy. He just can't play for a half decent team. He deserves a lot better. I really hate Spezza now. I kinda wanted to see both the Staal bros in Switzerland but Broduer messed up that plan.... If Canada loses (and I don't really care if they win or not), I'm blaming Brodeur for no reason. Whoo!

I'm glad for the caps. Did you see the people wearing rainproof stuff just behind Tortorella. That was really funny.

And what a way to end a season for the devils. If something like that ever happens to the Habs, it will be veeeery hard to stomach.

Now, this Pens/Caps series could be pretty exciting. And I've easily chosen my side! The only bad thing is that it's gonna be completely overhyped by everyone. I'd be surprised if the series lives up to the expectations, but who knows?

Yeah, I saw the rain poncho things. That was hilarious. I laughed throughout most of the first period =p

I'd really hate to be a Devils fan right now. That's gotta hurt so much.... Let's hope the Habs never lose like that. Did you read the thing where ESPN apparently had a link to an article that had the Devils winning and they forgot to take it down even once they had the article for the Canes winning up? I guess someone wrote up the thing before the end of the game and they put it up before the game finished...=p

At least it's easy to chose between the Pens and the Caps (I'm thinking the Staal Bros need voodoo dolls now). I'm worried for the Caps though. They haven't played up to their potential for a lot of the Rags series and I'm scared that the Pens will come out flying. Err... wait... Penguins don't fly.... In that case, never mind =p

Before the start of the playoffs, I wouldn't have given the caps a lot of chances against Pittsburgh, because of Theodore. But now that Theodore has already sucked so much that he has been replaced, I think it's gonna be a little more interesting. But it won't be easy for the caps, because the Pens now have quite a lot of playoff experience.

Pens in 7. You'll get your wish of a Pens-Bruins series in the conference finals.

Grrreg - I think they're also on a roll now too since Bylsma (how the hell do you say his name anyway?) took over. They're confident which counts for a lot right now. The Caps need to play hard and they need to play good D.

Justin - Shhhhhhhhhhhh you.....=p I obviously don't want a Pens/Bruins series now....

If that epic fail of the Devils ever happened here (especially since it was twice they were beat in the final few seconds), RDS would collectively explode. Same for the epic fail of the Rags, coach and all.

Poor Jaro... Though I think it puts to rests the "why didn't he play a game in the series" people, since our D was looking slightly similar to the Slovakian D, the outcome would have been the same.

Eternal Pessimist said...

Maybe RDS collectively exploding wouldn't be such a bad thing though....

I hate to say this, but Jaro needed Chara on D... Chara does more to stop the puck simply by standing in front of a goalie than any goalie could ever hope to do....=/ Poor Jaro.....
