2018-19 Hockey Megathread: Lightning-Proof Jackets

[Shofercia]

Russians only hack against the Caps on CNN

This is one of the reasons why I love hockey. One of the most pro-Russian teams is based in Washington DC. Hockey's ability to troll politics is just phenomenal.

Not going to make the obvious joke there. Mostly because I don't know how to word it.

Also, Vegas are through to the next round following their 3-0 shut-out win over San Jose, giving them a 4-2 series win. Now tomorrow we'll see if theyll be joined by what is pretty much Canada's team or if the Preds can force a game seven.

I think it's blatantly obvious to all hockey fans, and the non-hockey fan lurkers are confused, so I guess we can jointly discriminate against non-hockey fans in this thread

Fleury was extremely lucky, because Sharks had quality scoring chances and all of them hit the post or the crossbar and stayed out of the net.

Jones had his own share of luck. In the end the better team won. Now all that remains to be seen is who will lose to Vegas in the WCF.

[Impaled Nazarene]

Rip 3 peet. Fuck the Caps.

[Tarsonis]

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!


PITTT IS DEAD!!! WOOOOOO!!!

[Shofercia]

Hey Pittsburg, don't ya wish you would've protected Fleury from Vegas? Murray lol.

[Kaboomlandia]

Capitals went 20 years without an ECF appearance and 24 years without taking down the Penguins. Both curses are now broken.

[Impaled Nazarene]

Must have short term memory. Why retain a 33 year old goalie when a 23 year old one made spectacular save after spectacular save over the last 3 years and won two Stanley Cups whilst outplaying Fleury when both were on the same team.
Your logic "Lol he lost he sucks". Then again I don't expect Caps fans to know much about hockey seeing as how they experience less hockey than many other fan bases.

I get that you're bitter, but there's no need for personal attacks. Especially when Penguins have more bandwagon and casual fans than any other team. They're like the Yankees of Hockey.

I see a congratulations video in the future.

My team's been eliminated. But it's funny that a Pens fan would assume that Caps fans are everywhere

Considering your icon is a Cap i figured you were one too. Apologies.

Ahh, that. Fair enough. My avy is Ovechkin, because I think that it's hilarious that amidst all of the rumors of Russian Hacking, the Captain of a Washington DC team is a Russian

RUSSIANS HACKED THE REFS!!!
Nah i'm not that bad. This year has been a lot more fair and less bullshit than the last two years.

[Impaled Nazarene]

That was quick. Like I said it was 75% complete back during the Flyers series.

Curse of D.C. Let's get to the finals!

[Elejamie]

Fuck. On the upside, now I can go back to not liking the Pens. Besides, they'll be terrible again when Crosby and Malkin go anyway.

Funnily enough, I was expecting something along the lines of his Congrats, Steelers! video, where he completely tore apart the team after their loss to Jacksonville in the Divisional Round. This is fine too, probably better than what I had in mind in fact. Not to mention that it was inevitable because they were either playing down to the Flyers in the first round or they were just that bad this season; my guess is the latter.

Injury to Malkin and Murray choking made the Capitals win.

Shame, there's no Kings video.

[Idzequitch]

Congrats to the Knights on a well-earned victory. We honestly put up more fight than I expected, so that's a moral victory.

Also thank you Caps for knocking the Pens out.

Now it's time to hope for a Knight-Light matchup in the Finals

[Pope Joan]

I must therefore pronounce some new ones. Including versions of imprecations in Russian.

[Pope Joan]

Ovechkin is ranked the third dirtiest player in the league.

Others have ranked him right at the top.

I blame you. You introduced me to Urinatingtree and therefore jinxed the Pens.

[Freezic Vast]

So because the Capitals beat the 2 time Stanley Cup champions, that means I'm going full on out for Tampa to beat them, and I am putting all my hope that the Golden Knights can beat, whoever wins game 7 on Thursday, be it the Jets or Predators.

It's the Lighting. They'll choke in the finals (unless the caps somehow are actually god mode) like they did against the New England Patriots of the NHL the fucking Blackhawks.
