How do you follow the puck?  I don't like this sport and fighting is boring and cliche.  Plus, people who wear hockey jerseys look gd ridiculous.
I follow with my eyes. The fighting doesn't happen all that much in the playoffs [if at all] no team wants to be on the PK or lose a player for the misconduct. Caps have been mashing the Pens this series. Jackets did the same thing though. After the Caps went down 3-1 I lost faith. Orlov kicked in a goal for christs sake. I foresee the end of the season tonight. All I want is to be proven wrong and for the Caps to somehow storm back and win 3 in a row... sigh.

EDIT: also holy shit the Ducks lol

Yeah, quite the roller coaster ride this weekend.  The only thing allowing me to sleep last night and the next two is the lack of Boudreau, but it's impossible to forget the last 4 years....

I did receive this text last night though:  "the Ducks have a better chance of winning a game 7 then the Caps ever beating the pens in in best of 7 series" and surprisingly it wasn't from Godsshoeshine

I, posted that comment after I had had two beers, after I normally don't drink. That's why I don't drink.

The part about people who wear hockey jerseys was spot on.

If hockey wants to take back the youth market, they need to move their apparel deal from Reebok to Brooks Brothers.

First off, f-you for not including the Ducks in that statement.

Secondly, nice casual bone throw in the direction of the caps, your clever use of "at some point" indicates you may not think it's tonight.  Well played.

And lastly, I didn't sleep at all last night.  Whatever happens in the first game, DO NOT go to overtime as it will just prolong my agony.

I'll take the Caps over the Ducks. Ducks will learn "Ah shit I guess it wasn't JUST Boudreau".

Caps have outplayed the Pens almost the entire series. I think Pens puck luck runs out and being outplayed catches up to them, if it hasn't already. They looked completely lost and out matched in game 6. Fleury allowed 8 straight goals to the Caps since game 5. IT'S TIME.

.....r-right?

see the reasoning behind both points is predicting game 7s is a fools errand

Don't forget yours before you mouth off.

I'll take shit from a lot of people, but Caps fans (and Sharks fans) are not among them.

The Ducks have the fifth shortest drought in the NHL at 9 years, the Caps have the fifth longest at 41 years, also known as never.

It's been twice as long since a Canadian team won a Stanley Cup.
