[quote=BDBohnzie;440641]I doubt it. Huet, while giving up the goals he has, has been playing decent hockey. But stranger things have happened...

I didn't realize that 20 years ago, the Caps were down 3-1 to the Flyers and came back to win the series...[/quote]

I didn't realize that either until I read Caps Insider. Maybe, just maybe, that's because I wasn't alive 20 years ago. It's a little far fetched but entirely possible.

On a more serious note, hearing that the Caps were down in the series 3-1 20 years ago and came back to win it gives me a little more hope. I just hope that they play with all the passion they've got for the next two games (if there is a second game to play) and we can get back in this thing.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Capitals have taken a 1-0 lead early today on a Backstrom goal

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Federov with a goal, 2-0 now. This game is key

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

2-1 now

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

So far I've really liked what I've seen from the Caps. They have been destroying them in terms of hits and they are playing with nothing to lose. If we win this game then we are gonna have to go back to Philly and do the same thing. This situation is no different than the regular season when we had to win practically every game just to stay alive.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Great game by the Caps, although the Flyers came on very strong in the third quarter. As the announcers said, we lived to fight another day. The battle is gonna be a lot harder on their home ice though so we're just gonna have to take it to them with all we've got. Same situation next game, we've got nothing to lose.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Big win today!

What playoff format do you guys prefer? 2-3-2 or 2-2-1-1-1?

[quote=dmek25;440417]its all over
clap, clap, clap, clap, clap[/quote]


Sorry you had such a bad case of the clap. I guess that got cleared up today. Its all over?......not so fast OR better yet WRONG!

As we happened to have just returned home from the RED OUT today and didn't see many philly fans with the clap.

But hears the GOOD NEWS, HOW BOUT THEM CAPS!

It's not quite over just yet, don't count your chickens before they hatch. If the Caps can get the job done on the road Monday and this series goes to seven with philly returning to DC Tuesday......I don't think your going to have anything to clap about....other than the Caps movin on and the birds getting out the clubs.

Stay tuned. It's not over by any stretch, we are right back in this thing and philly better be praying that this Caps team that out played them all day has a bad game Monday or I think they know what the outcome will be, game seven.


GO CAPS!!!!!!!

I think the 2-2-1-1-1 format is fine, but I think it would be cool if they used the 2-3-2 format throughout the entire playoffs instead of just the finals like they do in MLB and the NBA. I'd be cool with them sticking with the 2-2-1-1-1 format throughout though.

The 2-3-2 seems like it would make more sense, but in a way, I've always thought the lower-seeded team had more of an advantage because they get 3 home games in a row. If they CAN steal one of the first 2 games on the road, they get 3 at home and the series may not even make it back to the arena of the team with "home ice/field advantage".

2-2-1-1-1 eliminates that but I bet travel is a pain.

I don't really care either way, but the 2-2-1-1-1 seems like the most fair, despite the traveling.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

2-3-2 definately, less travel and stress on the players

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

I agree with Chris, I guess I am a bigger MLB NBA fan, so that has always stuck with me.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

While the Caps/Flyers series really isn't affected too much with the 2-2-1-1-1 series setup, I can see it being a pain with some of the Western Conference series-es (sp?). 2-3-2 is definitely more traditional (I'm a tradition guy...), but the NHL style 2-2-1-1-1 is a good change of pace.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Big challenge tonight on the road. Do or die, we have played well this year with our backs against the wall. Lets roll and bring this series back to DC for a game 7.

LETS GO CAPS!!!!!!!

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Caps fight back....2-2 at end of second! Hold on tight this 3rd is gonna be a good one!

LETS GO CAPITALS!!!!!!!

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Caps take a 3-2 lead in the 3rd on an Ovechkin goal!

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Awesome. Go Caps. It's up to them to save a little face for DC sports tonight.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Notice the boo birds in Philly. What a terrible city, that would not happen if the Caps lose at home.

True, they don't know enough about the sport. They play cowd noise out of the Caps speakers too, like at the redskins. I was at game 5. I can tell you now, caps are gonna win.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

hell of a game, way to bring it back home boys

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

I missed this game up until the third period, but unlike the Wizards game I'm glad I got back in time to see the third. What a period for the Caps, Ovie finally busted out and now we are sitting at 3-3 with the deciding game at our place tomorrow.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

All I can say after watching that game is this team has what it takes. What an unbelievable comeback for this young Caps team!

Simply put this is an outstanding club with one hell of a future. Lead by the Greatest show on ice and one hell of a surrounding cast. Well done Caps, lets see if we can finish these girls off tomorrow.

We are gonna ROCK THE RED tomorrow, philly must have there very best game to have a chance. PUCK philly

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Great game...

Loved seeing Ovi come in clutch once again. Cant wait to trash talk all those obnoxious philli fans at work.

Let's go Caps game 7 baby!

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

I'm torn. I didn't catch most of Game 5 or any of Game 6...and I don't want to jinx the Caps tonight by watching Game 7...

I did see highlights. Ovie's first goal was brilliant. Cherry picking at its finest. Biron had no chance whatsoever to stop him.

Puck philly!! LOL!! I hate that team and I hate their fans (Buster not included). What is the whole "Vengance Now" thing anyway? Phuck those Philthy Phlyers. Man I wish I was going to the game tonight. That place will be electric. Go Caps!! It was so good to see Ovie wake up last night.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

15 mins to game 7, I can't wait. Verizon Center is gonna be rockin the red and loud as hell, I wish I was going. Hopefully the Caps put this one away so I don't have to have my nerves wracked like they were in Game 4 with the double OT.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

2-1 Flyers. Second goal was very questionable. Looked like Huet was interfered.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
