You think the Caps will surmount their perennial first-round playoff choke?  The great 8 has a way of seizing up in big games (e.g. playoffs, olympics, etc).

And, do you REALLY like the way the Flyers are playing right now (e.g. after their 7-0 embarrassment)?

2 things... 

the Caps never have been first round chokes...  if you had to pick a round.. it has been 2nd round.. and usually against the Pens who simply have had their number... and did well before Crosby-Ovie.

second...   look at Ovie's numbers. He has produced in the playoffs.. where the Caps have failed.. and failed yet again the other night is between the pipes.  I've seen that movie so many times I can recite every line of dialogue...  the single most important position in hockey in the goalie.  The Caps have often needed just that one game where the goaltender steals one for them to win that 'get over the hump' series.. and the various goalies we have had here have never once given them that to win these tough 7 game series they have always found themselves in.

and as far as as the Flyers.. yeah it didn't look good after the first.. a helluva lot better after the 2nd.  It was a out on the limb pick.. said it when I made it.. but yes.. I did think.. still do think.. the Flyers were playing better hockey and would win a 7 game war with the Pens.

Even though the all the series are 2-0, all of the games in the west have been great fun to watch

The Kings lack of firepower is quite impressive, reminds me of a once prestigious Canadian team.

^ tee-hee. 

I thought the Ducks would at least put up a fight. At least the Kings played like it was the playoffs. 

Caps/Blue-jackets seems to be the only series that might go the distance.

Don't think the Pens can win the cup again, but I thought the same thing last year.
Just want to see Pens and Caps one more time at least.......

Vegas?  wow, who would have thought...

LETS GO PENS!

^ yeah.. strange series that has been. Took 5 games to actually have a mid game lead change haha.

sort of like the whole of the first round which hasn't exactly scored highly on the dramatic or intensity level.. a lot of lopsided series/games (minus of course the Caps series which is more competitive than it should have been thanks to the Caps.. well.. being the Caps .. and that is why I drink as I do)

well, due the idiocy of the playoff system it's been pretty easy to get this matchup. CBJ may screw it up, but I think it will happen again. (And yes I know Philly is still in it, but not for long methinks) But yeah...would/will be sweet.

Pens over Flyers:

Highlights:  Jake Guentzel's four goals to close out a series (one of seven all time).

Lowlights:  Philadelphia fans for throwing beer cans at the Pens after the win.  No wonder the Flyers had a home-ice disadvantage, losing all three playoff games at home.
