I'm excited yet nervous, I don't want us to do what we've done a fair bit of against Tampa and that's just get swamped but since we've improved defensively I'm hopeful we can use the ability to grind out a result with the skills of Ovi, Backstrom et al. As Jay said earlier, defensively Tampa aren't the best but Stamkos & others have put up big numbers all year so I definitely respect them, but hope for another 4-0 or 4-1 type series just to reserve something for the eastern finals which I think will be against Philly.

Philly is overrated. Their goaltending is suspect to say the least. The Sabres are a terrible offensive team and still managed to have all three Philly goaltenders playing at some point in their series. They also play a trap to hide their weakness at goalie, so if your team has the talent to score in bunches, Philly shouldn't be too much of a challenge.

So much for the Caps winning tonight.

That's true, but I feel like the league is going to start taking notice more so now that they're deeper in the playoffs. They don't want to look like they endorse or turn a blind eye to that type of behavior.

The Boston Massacre.
Of sorts.

Shame my betting site is screwed up and wont let me bet on boston series. But after 2 close calls last week, ill just let my Cup bets ride and just wait to see if I can hedge for guaranteed money in the finals.
