Ovi vs. Stamkos

Washington's hoping to have both Backstrom and Burakovsky back in their line-up for Game 1.

Don't all talk about this series at once folks!

Game 7 tonight. With Carlson probably leaving this might be the best Caps team that Washington will have for awhile. Could be do or die for Ovi and his Cup dreams.

Some people legitimately think Ovi doesn't show up in the playoffs...

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Ovi's going to the Finals!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Ovechkin picks up the Wales trophy. The Finals are canceled.

So either Ovechkin wins his first or an expansion team wins one.

What a world.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Love it. And I'm glad we never signed Stamkos....good on the powerplay and that's it.
Him and Kucherov...0 points at even strength in this round and only 4 even strength for Stamkos in the entire playoffs(17 games).

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Stamkos only averaged 17:37 in the playoffs.

Is there a rift between him and Cooper?

Good for Ovechkin finally making it to the final.  Hard to believe it's taken him so long considering all the great regular season teams the Caps had along the way. I wouldn't mind seeing him win the Cup (just to stop this expansion team nonsense)

Cooper road trip to visit him? Will we hear about it? What does Kyperos think?

 

[cabber24]

Ovie the rockstar is going to the final!

 

[Guilt Trip]

Stamkos only averaged 17:37 in the playoffs.

Is there a rift between him and Cooper?

Who knows. He def wasn't producing at 5v5.

I'm really happy for Ovechkin and I think this is going to be one of the best Stanley Cup finals in a long time.  I'd like to see Ovechkin win the cup, personally.  But I would be happy for Vegas also.  They are a really nice story.  I like Marc-Andre Fleury a lot.

Vegas in 5

I picked Washington over Vegas in my NHL bracket.

Washington in 6.

Go Caps.
