Original 6 FTW

[frankgrimes 1,836]

Go Rags in 6

[RedWingsRox 614]

Give a sh*t meter ... 1.

[55fan 5,133]

I'm so ambivalent about this one that I had to ask my sister for whom I am rooting.

Go Caps. ←note the lack of an exclamation point.

[STL-Wings 36]

I suppose Rangers.

Given the teams left...anything that isn't Chicago, Montreal, or Anaheim.

Someone at NBCSN is a Wings fan, can't put pictures on here from my phone so check this.

@WingsNation13: Breaking: the Wings are still in the playoffs and have a 1-0 lead after 1! http://t.co/bBJOCHifKj

Lol at Holtby

[ami 273]

who cares...

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Wow, what a finish. Caps win on a last second goal from Ward.

[kipwinger 8,524]

Anybody see that Ovechkin snipe? Yeesh. Have fun Henrik.

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

Go Caps!

Hope Ovi gets his cup this year.

[kipwinger 8,524]

Wouldn't it be satisfying to watch him run wild all over the Blackhawks in the Cup finals?

If I'm allowed to have a team now that Detroit is done, it would be Washington.

You plan on catching any games Kip?

Trying to. Tickets are hard to come by. As much as most folks would scoff at me saying this, Washington is a pretty good hockey town and Caps tickets sell for high and don't stay available long. A regular season game will run you 100 bucks, easily. But I work exactly two blocks from the Verizon Center, so I'm always on the lookout.

edit: Also, I think I mostly want Ovechkin to win the Cup so that all those obnoxious Canadian blowhards (e.g. Don Cherry) have to watch him raise the Cup, and try to come up with more "reasons" why he's really not any good lol.

Uh oh, better suspend Backstrom.

[puckloo39 5,686]

whooweee... the Rangers were pissed over the outcome of game one... not that I blame them.

[rick zombo 3,739]

I actually have no issues with that hit. It was sort of from behind I guess. Backstrom makes initial contact with Boyle's shoulder, not his head, his skates more or less stay on the ice, and there wasn't a lot of force or much of a charge. Palat on Glendenning was way worse, only Luke is tough and Boyle's softer than a peach.

But man, this series is going to be good.

Ward is really emerging as a playoff go-to guy. That makes up for his high-sticking blunder against the Rangers in 2012.

Just wait until Tom Wilson makes an impact. If they're bitching about Backstrom being on the edge, they're going to love Wilson. He made the Islanders completely lose their composure. He's a little like Glendening, only way bigger and tougher. If a fourth liner is completely jamming you up, you're in trouble.

Oh I know all about Tom "Visnovsky Destroyer" Wilson. I was inventing new curse words for him during that April 5th game vs Detroit

My favorite part of the series was when the Islanders picked a fight with him, ostensibly to "deter" him from running over any more of their defensemen. Which resulted in this...after which he continued running over their entire team.

Note to hockey teams: It's kinda counter productive to "send a message" by getting manhandled in a fight you started.

Kid's a maniac. I hope Washington advance just so I can see him destroy a few Lightning or Habs players.
