Thanks a lot caps.. on to the next one. Fun fact: If the ducks lose tonight, it'll make five years in a row that they've lost game sevens at home Go Oilers!

Fleury going for that SHUTOUT

Absolutely zero desire to trade for Bishop. Props to Kenny for not falling victim to Left Wingers rants lol. First of all as a re-building team I would hate to give up a picks for a goalie who is 30 and could very well be headed for a decline. Secondly, Bishop is likely getting big money this off season, the last thing we need is 15 mil tied up in goalies as it is no guarantee we could move either Mrazek or Howard without eating cap with Howard's injury history and Mrazek's value being at an all time low right now. We have to stop with the mindset of trying to fix things overnight (unless we are talking an impact elite players like Tavares) and we need to continue with the re-build. Signing a 30 year old goalie for big money is a move that is made when you think you can contend next year.

Still winds me up after all those years too.

Oh, and the pick Dallas got for Eaves is now bumped up to a first rounder with Anaheim reaching the Conference Final and Eaves playing in at least half the games (7 of 11).

o me too buddy i remember being heartbrokn and i hated that year in general

St. Louis could have won a Cup or two had Cujo stuck around. With a past his prime Grant Fuhr and Jon Casey, they def weren't winning anything. We can hope. Lol Of course it would be the Pens who take over the title of last team to win back to back Cups from Detroit. Maybe the Wings shouldn't have blown it in 2009 after going up 2-0. Man, losing that series still bugs me.

Yeah probably. But I think the Oilers would go closer to 7 games and the ducks may get swept.

The Wings don't need Bishop. He's a UFA who will demand big money. Two goalies already eat $10 million of cap, and goaltending isn't a problem area. Get them some real D and all will be good. Good on Nill realizing their big money tandem was s*** though. Now he can protect Bishop and leave Lehtonen and Noemi exposed and hope Vegas takes one. They may go for Lehtonen. Then he can trade or buy out Niemi. That's if Bishop wants to sign with Dallas. If he bolts July 1, Nill may have a mess on his hands. especially if Lehtonen is claimed.

Ovie was the only -2 tonight. I'm not a big Ovechkin fan, but I do feel bad for him because all the talk will be that he can't beat Crosby. But is not fair to put this all on him. The reality is that a winger does not really move the needle that much in terms of carrying a team, centers are far more important. Almost similar to Hull in a way, he'll score a ton of goals, but not control the pace of a game and carrying a team to either wins or losses....for the most part anyway.

I would totally move ovie this summer. He was absolutely invisible tonight. What a poor effort their team showed in that 3rd period. This group of players will never win a cup for the caps because ovie cant get it done. I would trade him now and get a good return

Caps shut out 2-0 in a Game 7 in their own arena with a trip to the Conference Final on the line. Now that's clutch. What a joke that team is. This was the best roster they've had since they became "contenders" again. If they can't get it done with that roster, they never will. Damn Pens. Only Ottawa stands in their way of another trip to the Finals. I see them lasting 5 games. The Pens may just repeat.

I hate the pens. The caps are to the pens what the blues were to the Wings.

Caps haven't played like it's a game seven since the first five min of the game...

The entire Capitals team should be flogged for their performance in the third period of this game. They should lose some season ticket holders after a performance like this.

The rest of the team has adapted his hotdog loving ways.

The Caps are looking like the Wings with their inability to make crisp passes.

so you don't like my playoff hat? ohh ok...

C'mon Caps don't fail us!!!

Whenever the wings are out i cheer for the rangers because king henrik has been my favorite goalie for years. Sadly i think his window to win a cup in ny has closed but i could see him going somewhere like dom did to try to win a cup at some point. He is still a very good goalie. I mean he just out dueled price. AV lost this series in part like how blashill would have...playing the wrong players at the wrong time. In game 2 in the dying minute he had marc stall on the ice and he messes up and the sens tie the game. Game 5, same thing. Kind of reminds me of blashill coaching. Which is odd because AV is usually very good and i like him but he was no doubt out coached in this series.

You really thought Bishop might come here? We have 2 decent goalies locked up and a decent backup on the way. Dallas, Winnipeg, Calgary, and the Canes are gunning for goalies. Not us. So far Dallas just has the rights to talk to him first. Buffalo did this with Vesey last summer. Let's see how it pans out. Bishop was asking 6+ million and 6 years out of Calgary, and mind you he's 30.
