We sure licked boston over the weekend.
now the question is, who would we rather face in the eastern finals?

I really don't think it matters. Boston was always the team that scared me the most and TB just dispatched them in 5 games. Neither WAS or PIT have the firepower or depth that Boston had. Remember, the new Playoff format is screwed up; we ended up getting Boston in the 2nd round even though they were the #2 team in the East. Typically we would have seen them in the conference finals.
Assuming there's no critical injuries, I don't think either team can play with TB.

I think it might be better if we played Pitt based on previous games.

Washington is kicking the shit out of TB
Our guys better pull their head from their ass or this game will end 7-0

They're just so discombobulated. No flow. Just a bunch of hacking, no passing and dream shots. Nothing like the Boston series.
I have the feeling wershington is due. They’ve been to the dance a million times with great regular season teams and absolutely stunk it up in the playoffs. Getting by Pittsburgh was huge for them because, again, the penguins have lit their ass up for years.
the Lightning looked in pre season form. Hockey guys is Cooper really that good of a coach or is the success more of a product of the front office?
He’s good but he’s going to feel a lot of pressure if TB falls in an eastern conference finals yet again. This is their 3rd trip to the finals in the past 4 years. The team is there and TB has more talent across the board than Washington.
Lose this series and the Cooper honeymoon may be over in Tampa.
They looked flat, played sloppy, and never got a good bounce like they did in the Boston series. Stupid penalties, kunitz seemed like he wanted retribution for what Wilson did to his old team. He better be done with that. Also ovechikin is as elite as it gets for a scorer, capitals is going to score.
Postive side, pp goal, and kucherov totally owns holtby on break aways and he will have another chance this series. Look up the you tube videos where he has scored twice on holtby with no shot goals.

Seems reasonable given some of the terrible goals he's allowed in. 10 goals in 5 periods. Seems legit.
The Lightning bet their future on him and yet he's falling apart in big games
This must be the Russian collusion everyone is talking about.
Easily.The way they played in the second it wouldn't have surprised me to see the Caps score 3-4 goals.
vasey looked like he did before the allstar game last night. we will need more of that for this series and if we advance
I’m not sure there’s really any combination of teams in the finals (at this point) that would really move the ratings needle.
The intermission is all about the Caps. What they need to do, what they're doing wrong. Why does NBC hate Tampa so much? Because FL went to Trump?
They’ve hated Tampa for as long as I can remember. My guess is that they hired a bunch of blowhard old cranky northerners who think hockey in Florida is bastardized or something. They’re total dogshit.
I still remember, a few years ago Vasy had to play in the playoffs as a rookie due t Bishop being hurt. He played good but ended up allowing a really bad goal in what was their elimination game. Some blowhard idiot on NBC said “those are the types of goals that ruin careers” and that he’d never recover.
