Happy to even be in the playoffs- were not supposed to be here. Caps in 4!

An honest and fair analysis. But that is why we play the games, right? You never know what will happen!

Caps fans should know better than anyone that being Presidents Trophy winners means jack… this series will go 7 and we will lose in gut-wrenching fashion.

Atleast the caps don’t seem like a give up team. See you guys in the conference finals (Toronto)

Love it. Playing with house money. If they beat em it will be epic.

Lifelong Caps fan since day 1 in 1974. I have no expectations that they win this series other than that the Rangers won the Presidents Trophy which hopefully means they lose in round 1.

Ovi’s smile at the end of the Philly game tells me all I need to know.

As we Gen Xers like to say, whatever. I hope the Caps blow their predictions right out of the water.

i feel like 7-1 for game 1 kind of harsh 😂 we might lose but hopefully not by that much

I can’t wait to take the rags in 7 with a negative goal diff and all our wins happen in OT.

Unless you say regress to the mean on those one goal games, I could see rangers winning 7-1, but it would seem games 2 and 3 are one goal games that the Caps would win. So really it’s 3 games to 2 games, going into game 6 in this scenario.

Hoping the Rags hold their twigs a little tight to start. If we can get in front of this and put them behind quickly in the series we should have a chance.

The ‘Strat-o-Matic’ also picked TB in 7 vs FL, also kinda shocking. I think NHL network hitched themselves to some discount AI, and it’s gonna backfire. I don’t see Caps losing 7-1 game 1, for instance.
Caps are 31-2 in 1 goal games. This will be a closer playoff S then everyone is thinking. Caps in 7. BOOM

I want to believe Caps in the finals. Finger crossed.

I have it going to either 6 or 7.
We can win if:
we play good defense
stay out the penalty box
Tom Wilson doesn’t do something stupid and gets suspended
Get better on the powerplay
and
play the full 60.
If we get a lead we need to protect it and not sit back and let them come back.
Too many games the caps should have had this season was lost to sitting back and letting teams come back.

We’re playing with house money. Plus the Caps have been on the losing end of an opening playoff series where they were the Presidents’ Trophy winner. I don’t even care. NHL playoffs are so hard to predict due to the pure flukiness, random goalies getting hot, and puck luck. Wouldn’t surprise me if the Caps win in 6.

So you’re telling me there is a chance👍

Huge upset incoming…..

I think it predicting 0/10 on the PP for us might show that’s it’s a little bit weird

Why are y’all acting like the Caps are good and should be favorites in the series?
