Its Shaping Up For A Washington Stanley Cup Championship....

[RbN]

Jw cash? Ur alive bro? LOL, WASH got outclassed

[JW Cash]

Ok.....


Just as I predicted on Feb 1.................The Caps have started to catch fire
and no team.....I say NO TEAM will stop Ovie & Gang from hoisting Lord Stanley...

Caps have now won 9 Straight games ......11 out of 12 and this is only the beginning....


Ahhhhhhhhhhhh... this is soooooooooo sweet...............

[pickemtowinem]

HAHAHA @ anyone thinking the Canucks, or ANY Canadian team for that matter, wins a THE cup this year.
Im a Canadian, and yes, I'd love to see the Grail returned north, but:

AS LONG AS GARY BETTMAN RUNS THE SHOW, NO CANADIAN TEAM WILL WIN THE CUP

SO more than ever, this Washington picks to win the cup is totally worth a wager.....and the Caps' are for real this season.....

Washington, SanJose, Philly and LosAngeles would be my bets to win the cup this year.

and in case you are wondering, NO CANADIAN TEAM has won the cup since Bettman took over......they have made the finals, but have not won it....and that TREND will sadly continue until someone takes that a$$ outta the head office.

WORD!

[DennisGreen]

You are from Minnesota JW, why are you acting like the Caps are your team? Your team is the lowly Minnesota Wild last time I checked. Canucks are winning it all this year sorry boys. Will gladly bet anyone heads up vs your team for as many SBR points as you want.

[OTL]

philly vs vancouver

where can I find a NO on that?

Not a chance the hair-pulling sissies and crybaby goalie make it to the finals. This year's Canucks are last year's Capitals.

I put some money down Vancouver when they were 8 to 1, so I am tempted to take you up on this to cover myself, but not sure who I would take. What happens if neither team wins it? Whoever went further in the playoffs and if tied there go to playoff wins?

I like your reasoning sir........

[DennisGreen]

LOL silly Americans. So predictable and uneducated at hockey. Take a look at the cup winners and how many CANADIANS were on their team compared to Yanks or other foreigners. Canada wins the cup every year.

[JW Cash]

GREAT News for all the Washington Cap fans......

As of tonight...we are ONLY 1 point behind the Flyers for the top team in the East....

Ovie & Crew are peaking at just the right time.....as certain people here predicted....

The Caps from now till the playoffs are simply gonna " kick ass and take names "....

Yea.......its gonna be a CLASSIC Stanley Cup Final....


Detroit vs Washington...


With the Caps winning in 5....................

Oh Yea................................... thats what I am talkin about.......

[DennisGreen]

Nice pink font GRAMPS. Don't spend your pension all on the Caps. Wouldn't want you to lose your internet connection for your daily comedy

[stevex]

Just to change the tone in here A BIT.

My Devils have been incredible for the 2nd half of the season, and am praying that they make it into the playoffs, because......

I'll finally grow a pair and buy Devils playoffs tickets

I keep replaying Jason Arnott hitting that goal against Dallas in the Stanley Cup, getting me more and more pumped. Honestly though, if they do make it which is going to be tough, they will be a dangerous team, boring team to watch, but very dangerous.

Devils will make it. They are on fire. If they play the Caps in round 1, the Caps will be sent packing as usual.

Personally I see the caps as the more likely team to actually be there in the finals, East is wide open. Who do you predict will win the "Stanley Cup Finals preview" on Wed? Let me guess.

[stevex]

Ha, not going to go that far DG but love the optimism.

Have always loved the way the Devils play though. Defense, defense, and more defense. Low scoring games and solid goal tending. Lemaire drills it into these guys brains and that's one of the main reasons for this run there making.

The Devils could be a sleeper....they have the best goalie
in the game.......

Once in the playoffs...anything can happen......usually the team
that catches fire at the end of the season goes far...i.e. The Caps...

Only thing constant year after year is the Vancouver Canooks getting
knocked out in the early rounds.........from what I see, that fact wont
change......

Then put your money where your mouth is COWARD. You can take the Caps, I'll take the Canucks. Easy money and/or SBR points for me.

[stevex]

Uh oh, we got a challenge in here.

Is this going down or what?

[DennisGreen]

Nope this guy is the biggest COWARD on SBR. He talks a big game, but doesn't back it up at all. He is basically just a wannabe TOUT.

If Detroit doesnt make it...I can see San Jose finally making
it to the finals.........I would have liked Chicago...but they
lost their character when they traded Big Buff......I dont see
the Kings having the tenacity for a deep playoff run.....

Its either Detroit or San Jose....but I like the history and the
coaching of the Red Wings.....

All you fans in Detroit.....get your octupus orders in b4 the Rush.....lol

[stevex]

DG. Just wondering man, why does JW piss you off?

[DennisGreen]

DG. Just wondering man, why does JW piss you off?

His horrible sentence structure and grammar mostly. Also that dreaded pink and purple font. And he talks like a tout.

Calgary or Dallas could do damage in the playoffs if they get in and
get past the first round....especially if their goalie gets hot........

[DennisGreen]

Stop ignoring me JW. Quit taking the high road I have challenged you sir.

[watertight]

Seems like none of the top teams want the first seed besides washington, all the other teams see nj getting 8th, wash out first round if thats the way it turns out.

[JW Cash]

Should be a good looking preview of the Cup Final tonight with Washington vs Detroit.....

Can the Wings stop the Caps terrific win streak or do Ovie & Gang continue the
their upward momemtum........

Detroit, by far the BEST team in the West ( no other team comes close to them )...they
might want the win tonight in a huge statement game against Washington......

That being said.......I think its obvious Detroit could never beat the Caps in a 7 Game Series...

This IS the Caps Year...............and if I might say.....Its about Time !!!!!

[pickemtowinem]

I like your reasoning sir........

hey, its just a fact....thats all.....Bettman needs to get ousted from his post....until then, WOE is a Canadian hockey fan....

And prior to hitting the sack last night, I did read your' rant (that you smartly editedout) on the Canadian people's junior hockey squad, and the fact that the cup has been out of Canada for all those years, but in essence, it never really left Canada, it lives about 30 minutes from where I do, at the Corner of Young St and Front St....in the Hockey Hall Of Fame...so I get to see it whenever I feel to.....thats right, down town Toronto...

and my healthcare is free....
and my dollar is worth (albeit not much) more than the yankee greenback...
and my country is pulling out of a recession that never REALLY hurt us as much as it did our brothers to the south....

so, enjoy your Bettman time, and the fact that the cup visits you're cities for a week a year, and the struggle of your people to get out of a huge monetary slump......up here in the Great White North, we enjoying Bacon, Money, and the ability to see the Holy Grail year in and year out....

life as a Canadian couldn't be much better......
oh, did I mention our women have straight teeth? thats really important....

CHEERS!

[cecil127]

i thought the "we" was reserved for the hawks
whoever is "surging" is his team du jour
caps do look good though....a chit pile better than the phucking flyers thats for sure. they're done in the first round.

I love the way the Hawks celebrate a goal........

I never thought it would be possible, but Washington doesn't score enough goals to win the Cup, seriously. 2.67 goals per game, ranked 22 in the league isn't even close to good enough. Look up the last time a team outside the top 10 in goals per game won the Cup.

They have a problem, in that they can't be a good defensive team and good offensive team at the same time. Right now they are a good defensive team, but can't score. Previously, they were amazing offensively, but horrid defensively. IMO, it comes down to coaching and leadership, they have neither.

For me the contenders are Detroit (kind of), Vancouver, Philly, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh (if Crosby returns), and San Jose (kind of). I would give pretty much every other team a 0 percent chance of winning the Cup.

If it had to pick right now, it would be Vancouver v. Boston.

I gotta feel the Caps will now pick it up offensively.....I think they
want to avoid the style of play that cost them to be kicked out
of the early rounds of past playoffs.......

Of course, Philly and Boston have a a solid chance.....

In the West...San Jose could give Detroit a fight but the Sharks
come from the same mold as Vancouver.......just blow on them and
they fall down.......

[DennisGreen]

It's Shaping Up For A Washington First Round Exit....

[JW Cash]

Well I think its pretty obvious now that the Washington Capitals have started
to kick up their heels in their unstoppable quest for Lord Stanley....

They have filled their tanks with high octane.....no more regular...

Tonights win against Philadelphia could very easy be a preview of the
Eastern Conference Finals.....


Yea...sure is a fine time to be a Caps fan.....

[DennisGreen]

The Caps blew a 3-0 lead and barely won tonight. I would not be proud about this victory. That shit won't fly come playoff time.

It's shaping up for a Washington first round exit.....

[mrginandtonic]

I take it that u really don't like the Caps, DG?

[face]

wow nice win caps, starting to like the caps.
