Big night tonight - Caps/Flyers. There's more than one person on these boards waiting for this.

What a debacle! No self-respecting playoff team should melt down like that. Giving games away is not a good way to win a series.

I hope that really shames them. Did you see that Thoresen may lose a testicle from the slap shot when the play wasn't whistled dead?

You say "Giving," I saying taking.

That was a straight-up giveaway. The Flyers came out tired and uncoordinated. The penalty leading to the goal was terrible. The Caps played well in the 3rd, but not well enough to win without a lot of help.

Sure, man. . . whatever makes you feel good.

They lost because the other team was better on that occasion. A "give away" is a weak argument. I remember using that as an excuse for a poor basketball performance when I was in Jr High and High School. Stop making excuses and suck it up. Your team got beat because O scored another goal.

It's as simple as that. But again, if the "We didn't lose. . . we gave it to you" line makes you feel good, then let's role with it. Hopefully, they'll give more games "away." *wink-wink nod-nod*

Wings and Preds tonight. I tend to root for n00bs/underdogs.

Go Preds! (Sorry Pinky!)

No worries, my dear Beat! I'm just going to have to make out with Yzerman poster to calm my hurt feelings.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...let's all not get out of hand or someone's going to lose a testicle up in here

I just meant that a playoff team should never blow a two goal lead in the third period. That should be a W every time. I didn't mean the Caps didn't deserve to win, just that the Flyers melted down. They can both be true.
