Nah, it'll be Blaine Gabbert.

Things that will most likely not happen aside, it feels like the Caps have been off forever lol. It's kinda nice getting a little rest in the playoffs but I'm also too impatient to wait for all these game 7's to finish. Hopefully the Caps first game against TB is on Friday.

This should be an interesting series, the Caps had the Lightning's number in the regular season but we all know that's not the same. As long as the Caps hold true to their newfound defensive ways and limit TB's chances I think we'll advance.

It is on Friday. I wonder about the long layoff

Wow. Yeah almost an entire week off. I'm optimistic Boudreau will have them fired up and ready to go when they get back on the ice but if they do come out slow I think it won't last into the second period. Boudreau will let them have it if they come out slow in the first.

I expect them to come out a bit slow off the bat, but we should get it going in the 2nd. Hopefully fatigue will set in for the visitors towards the third. TB is playing good hockey too, but so are we.

I can't see the rest as anything but positive. the whole too much rest thing is just bs theory which helps pass time during these lulls.
Rest heals players. Having Green good to go is huge. We aren't making any major changes either so it's fine.

If something small like mental focus or toughness was lacking with the Caps, we wouldn't have won Game 4.

Arnott's the reason why they've improved so much from their previously overrated and undisciplined selves.

Damn you, Arnott, damn you.

Devastating loss tonight. 2-0 is a deep, deep hole to come out of. Even more so when we just blew home ice advantage

Sigh. The Lightning are playing better defense, they've got a hot goalie in Rolo, and their pp/pk are both firing on all cylinders right now. It's gonna be extremely hard to come back from down 2-0 to them.

Hang in there my Bruins were down to the Habs 2-0 and they fought back, plus Wash is a much better team then the Bruins, they can do it!

Re: Washington Capitals 2010-2011 ongoing thread

epic fail on the caps part, this doesn't look good. i really hope we don't get swept, but after the first two games at home it's not looking good

The Caps are definitely getting outworked but how many lucky bounces can one team get?!?! This is un-F'ing-believable.
