Again, all you do is refer to our division as your argument that we're "lucky" and a "bottom feeder." We don't pick our opponents, we just beat who's on our schedule.

Sure our last three wins were against bad teams, but we played the whole league all year, and we were 38-17 after Boudreau took over. So basically over 2/3 of our season was luck?? Ummm, no.

And you still haven't backed up your flawed rationale that Pitt was "resting" players against Philly when you guys wet the bed and fell to a 2 seed. You seem to think it doesn't matter, but again, I ask you, what if you end up playing Montreal in the playoffs and don't have home ice??

I think someone is a little bitter that Ovechkin is overshadowing baby faced Sid as the best player in the league.

Again, a team had to come out of the southeast division, if the caps were in any other division they would have ben hard pressed to make the playoffs, but do to the lack of competition in that division the caps came out as the "best team in the worst division", therefor the best of the worst. And still Pitt lost there last meaningless game of the season to a playoff team, and they sat there best player, who pretty much just go back from injury, damn them to hell for not being all that concerned with the last game of the season. I am sorry but I do not see the big deal of the PENS loosing their last game of the season to a playoff team. I will be more concerned come game 7 of the first round...
