Read a stat yesterday that said the only two teams in the history of the NHL to get to 62 wins didn't even get to the Finals those years so in an odd way I'm kinda glad we that dropped this one lol.
Is it my imagination or are the announcers significantly less enthusiastic when the Caps score or do something good? I've been watching games on the network TV broadcasts and see a pattern of more enthusiasm for Caps opponents and less for the Caps. For example, after the Avalanche goals, the pitch is higher, the details are spoken with more enthusiasm, and there is more talk. With the Caps, after one of the goals today, the announcer only says "score" with a flat voice. To me it seems like a consistent pattern, but I'd like to hear others' observations on this.
Avs Fans: "The officiating was terrible tonight! We played well despite Kadri and Landeskog out." Caps Fans: "Great win tonight! Defense played well. The Avs suck in the playoffs, but we're 'amazing' at it."
Jack Johnson did not play well. It was a good game. I won't complain about the officiating because the refs allowed a pushed-in goal for the Avs. Really missing Toews.
I don't think the refs cost the Avs the game by any means, but they were horrible last night. Jack Johnson's worst game of the year. Usually he's not amazing, but not a liability. Avs playing against a good team without Kadri, Toews, Landy, Cogliano, or EJ while experimenting with pairings at a point in the season where games only matter for President's Trophy, I'm not shocked they dropped this one. Hardly going to worry while going 9-0-1 in the last ten.
Say what you want to about the plays that led to the goals; Washington did a great job defensively and limiting the center ice transitions. Hard-Fought game, probably one of the most exciting games all regular season.
this is one of those games im glad they lost. its essentially a playoff game and they lost. hope it tought them an important lesson about defence in the playoffs.

Another game, another goal for the GOAT.

Thank you washington.
Capitals @ Avalanche

Hail Washington
– Jack Johnson
I didn't like the jack Johnson signing from the start, I definitely don't like it now, I hope to god hes not on the playoff roster
good morning good afternoon and goodnight Colorado
Ovechin I love you you Are my favorite hockey player
Show's you how weak the west is. 8th seed from the east dominates the best team by far in the west.
That was a great game let’s go Caps
absolutely goaltender interference! Stupid call by the blind ref's. Karma for the win
CAPS!!! GREAT WIN!
Kuemper so bad…
All these caps fans acting like they just won the Stanley cup, we’ll come back boys, just some bad defense
Well, that's Jack Johnson defense for you. Oh well. OTOH, man, has Nichushkin really found his game. Dude is a wrecking ball out there.

As an Avs fan, it was great to see Johannson get the game winner with his return to the Caps.
The refs were god awful
It'd be really nice if we could get videos in resolutions higher than 720p
Lol as an Avs fan …… he definitely pushed the pad in come on refs!!

That was like a home game for Caps. Fans were insane there
go caps
I'm glad these two teams played each other right before the playoffs.
We don’t lose often the caps are no match for the AVS!!! That’s why they don’t have a top rated spot on their charts
That was a great game
Avalanche got bailed out so hard
this is one of those games im glad they lost. its essentially a playoff game and they lost. hope it tought them an important lesson about defence in the playoffs.
Wow, can't even get goaltender interference right.
Let’s go Avs!
