Caps seem to be reborn in their underdog role.

Best road-record of the playoffs I assume? (Or close) will be a big factor.

Wash takes game 1!

Bounce Tampa in 6!

Not confident they can do it but would like to see the Caps pull it out.

Weird how it works sometimes. This is their worst team in 3-4 years but they’re further than a long time in the playoffs.

Lightning have fallen under the radar with all of the attention focused elsewhere these playoffs. they seem to be absolutely locked in right now. can't see Washington winning more than a game.

I will refrain from making predictions - predictions in hockey are pointless. Just look at the Golden Knights for all the proof you need that predictions are meaningless. Anything can happen.

Having said that, I am glad Tampa is playing the Capitals.

1) I can't stand the Penguins or Crysby (or most of their fans).

2) I have always liked Ovechkin.

3) I think the Caps are deserving of a trip past round two.

4) Now the Lightning get a chance to crush Brooks Orpik (paper tiger wussy).

Whatever happens in this series, I hope it is over quick.

Tampa has lost 1 road game in playoffs, so id bet road records are pretty damn close

Tampa in 5. Tampa is just too strong, deep and rolling right now.

Caps outplayed the Pens quite significantly, Holtby was amazing, and the Pens still took it to 6 games, and a post by Malkin late in game 3 and a post by Kuhnackle in game 6 OT, mean that the Caps only won this series by a couple of inches.

That being said, I would like to see Ovie get a Stanley Cup. Unfortunately I think Barry Trotz is the biggest douchebag in the NHL, so can't cheer for them this year.

I feel like this is a coin flip of a series.

Tampa wins game 1 for sure. Washington finally slayed their demon in beating Pitts. It might just be too much for them.

An extra couple inches is a lot...

Putin is evil. Unequivocally. Ovechkin lauds him. (frank) him. (frank) the team he ironically captains. Go bolts.

Yes, this. I lost some Ovi love after he started becoming a Putin cheerleader.

I think Ovi isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer - he's an amazing hockey player, but how much does he really know about Russia's internal politics or Putin's motivations? I am not making excuses for the guy, just pointing out that Putin has a lot of dumbass followers just like Trump does - people who don't know the issues and think they do.
