Where is AKwilly, he's the odds man, the man with the expertise when it comes to wagering? I want to ask him what are the odds that Ovechkin gets out of the 2nd round, down 2 - 0, with the next 2 in Pitt.

LOL!  Yeah.  I know.  Hey, you should feel pretty good knowing your Flyers have the second pick in the draft. heh heh

BTW...Capitals fans when Pittsburgh beats them in the playoffs...which is nearly all the time.

I did bet the caps to win it all at 3-1. I also bet blackhawks at 5-1 though. I then bet Penn's at + money to beat caps in series but that's just to break even. I don't trust the caps but from an odds standpoint I thought it was a good play. The crap thing is that I will have ended up wagering way to much to get a potential tiny return. Blackhawks really screwed my plans.

Ask Gravity Sucks. I think they screwed his plans too.

They certainly caused me to give up on hockey until October.

Downside is I have to shave now.

Ovechkin vs Crosby reminds me of Manning vs Brady but at least Manning beat Tom once or twice.

That Penguin  player really sold that fake high stick in the last minute  of the game.

Big pet peeve of North American  sports fan/media mocking soccer for dives and faking injury, yet it happens in "our" sports just as much. At least soccer knows there is a problem  and can suspend players for it after.

Pierre sucks, (why do you think he spends so much time on his knees, "behind the glass"  ;  )

Also, I saw on Nat Geo where bisexuality is somewhat common among penguins.

Bonino should be playing soccer. What a faker. But can't blame the game on his poor sportsmanship. Fleury again was awesome. Credit where credit is due. Let's Go Caps! For some reason, it seems but I hold out hope, the Caps can't deal with post-season, especially in goal? Too much work winning the regular? Psychological? Time for a "team only meeting" and break out a Code Red and motivate some people. If it doesn't go well I think Caps coaching need to readjust and pull a "soccer" scheme, like purposely throwing some late in season games so not to go in as first seed or face certain opponents and overcome the mental block and history? I seem to recall some WC, or was in CL?, or both where soccer teams would do this type of thing. One reason some games were played at same time now and differing group stage formats? I could be wrong but I seem to recall this being a thing, at least in the past.

Didn't see that... but Ovechkin has been chopping wood for years. :  It's the Capitals way.  Yeah, I'm a Pens fan but I've seen enough over the years to realize we don't get the calls.  In fact we rarely get any. 

[ge30542]

Gonna take a yuge effort in Nashville on Sunday, we'll see.

[akwilly]

The oilers are dropping like flys
