notfondajane Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Last meeting between these two teams in the regular season! Pens need a win to secure second place! Capitals have nothing to play for except to stay sharp for the post season! Nice come from behind win against the Senators. Kessel with nice defensive play! How about Leteng playing goal?

BluPuk Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 If it were my call, I'd use a complete AHL line-up....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting take on that during the past weekends coverage, it may have been an Caps player. Most players do not want to sit out these last games because they get out of game flow with a couple of games off. They'd rather keep playing to keep their momentum going.

notfondajane Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 @nossagog, do you think they would give 100% or just hard enough to force Pittsburgh hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nossagog Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Personally, the Caps are not playing their best hockey at the moment, and I think they'd like to get back on their game prior to the playoffs starting. The Caps still have the Blues and the Ducks left after this, so they need to right their ship.That plus the fact that I think they'd like to show that he whooping we put on them two weeks back was just a fluke.

nossagog Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Didn't see most of the game, but great to have Sid score the OT winner in DC. Keep rolling boys, keep rollin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In real time I thought he must have been 3' offside (a la Danny Briere in Game 1) but when they showed the angle from behind Holtby he was onside by at least a foot. The pass from Letang was perfect.

nossagog Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Interesting scoring line for Ovie in the 5 games against the Pens this year: Ovechkin G A +/- SOG Oct 28th 0 0 -1 5 Dec 14th 0 0 1 5 Mar 1st 0 0 -1 3 Mar 20th 0 0 0 3 Apr 7th 0 0 0 6 Total nada nada -1 22 Luck or whatever, they did a great job of shutting him down this year.

nossagog Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 What do you say, five game suspension for Letang trying to kill the Grape Ape by hitting him with a tire iron? https://twitter.com/PenguinBrain/status/718237124798062593/video/1 Also, great take on the Isles overtaking the Rangers in the standings: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
