Well, Matta's clearly concussed.

Yep, the "Which player will the Caps break this game" question got answered early. >:(

I don't even want to watch anymore. And it was a minor.

Should be 5 and a game, easy.

This is everything I was dreading about this series.

This kind of dangerous hit will never go away as long as the team who commits it has more to gain than lose from it on the ice.

Re: Game Day Thread April 30, 2016

Just now watching it. That's got to be a suspension for sure.

Re: Game Day Thread April 30, 2016

[(Anonymous)]

Hearing for Orpik. That's at least five games, right? Is it like other suspensions, so those five games are actually two or three playoff games? IDK how that works.

What an atrocious make-up call.

I can't decide who I want to win this Caps/Pens series :( I'm not quite to the point where I'm mad enough at the Caps stars/leadership for failing to rein in the dudes I am mad at, but I'm worried that I'm going to get to that point in another game or two.

SA also re: leadership, Orpik being the defensemen wearing their A in this situation.

I hate the Pens less than I hate the Caps. Never want to see Ov lift a cup.

Re: Game Day Thread April 30, 2016

[(Anonymous)]

I want the Caps to win the series, if only because I feel like they'd be easier to beat later in the playoffs

Re: Game Day Thread April 30, 2016

[(Anonymous)]

I dislike both teams and I find both fanbases to be obnoxious, but there are slightly more individual Caps players I like than Pens players, so for now I'm reluctantly hoping the Caps win the series.

Re: Game Day Thread April 30, 2016

[(Anonymous)]

I kind of like both teams. I'll... just go sit over there.

Re: Game Day Thread April 30, 2016

[(Anonymous)]

I thought I liked both teams equally, but this series is rapidly proving me wrong.

Re: Game Day Thread April 30, 2016

I don't know if I will be able to handle potentially four more games of this Caps/Pens seriers...I know Holtby is amazing, but I don't want to have to rely on him every single game, it would be nice to give the guy a break

Re: Game Day Thread April 30, 2016

[(Anonymous)]

Isn't it potentially five more games? /unhelpful

Re: Game Day Thread April 30, 2016

[(Anonymous)]

Perhaps it will comfort you to know that this Pens fan feels exactly the same way. (It's potentially five more games, though.)

Re: Game Day Thread April 30, 2016

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think I can handle it because I'm pretty sick of seeing my players get injured every game. Who's next on Trotz's list? Is the next move to take Letang's helmet off him and just bash him over the head with it?

Caps refusing to allow reporters to speak to Orpik.

Is Trotz gonna say this hit is "okay" too?

Re: Game Day Thread April 30, 2016

[(Anonymous)]

As the linked twitter says, isn't there a rule against this? Will the Caps be penalized in some way for it?

(Also, this strikes me as kind of weird. I couldn't watch the game, but usually on dirty plays it feels like the player sticks around after and makes up some bullshit about how it was an accident, or not as bad as it looked, or just kind of happened, or whatever. Was this one just so clearly bad that not talking to the media at all is better?)

I still can't believe we won that game. Even when we had had four times the Caps' shots, it just didn't feel like anything would ever go in. And then they tied it up, and I thought it was over.

Really glad we didn't have to take 5D into OT, too.
