jimdahl Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 How is there not already a general playoffs thread? Anyway, tonight's win marks the first time in franchise history the Caps have taken a 3-0 series lead in a best of 7. Somewhat shocking given they've had 2-0 leads 7 times, and hopefully a sign that they've shaken off the demons. Flyers (and fans) completely lost their composure in the 3rd, allowing the Caps to run up the score. Makes you wonder if the coach knows how to coach in the playoffs 4 Quote

In all seriousness, no team is more likely to blow so dominating a 3-0 lead than the Caps. So, Philly fans shouldn't worry until it's over. 1 Quote

The Capitals are dialed in this year. Quote

siouxforcefans Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Caps won the President's Trophy what seems like months ago, so we shouldn't exactly be surprised they're taking the last wild card out behind the woodshed. The Wild were able to get one at home, so their series with the Stars will at least go 5 - doubt Phili will get one, so expecting the Caps to finish the sweep. 1 Quote

The Sicatoka Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 CHI has an amazing Games 5, 6, and 7 record over the last few years, but I think the hole is too big this time. Quote

OgioloD Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 If you haven't been watching the Blues/Blackhawks series then tomorrow is a good night to start. Been some highly entertaining games and sure to get pretty chippy in game 5. Oh, and GO BLUES! Quote

I still can't believe they didn't finish in fo, fo, and fo like Moses had predicted. Dave Zinkoff doing the P.A. was the best ever! "At 1 forward, out of the University of North Carolina ,#24 Bobby Jones and at center from Albany State, #11, Caldwell Jones...................................................................................no relation" Different game back then. The 82-83 76ers attempted 109 3 pointers for the season. Quote

UNDSiouxFan Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 The Chicago/St. Louis series has been amazing. Lots of good old time hockey. Crawford going after Robby Fabbri and Shaw's end of the game meltdown were the highlights of game 4. Can't wait for tonight. As a huge Blues fan, long live the note! Quote

Some sort of leg injury, he was never the same after that.
