Who knows? What I learned last year is that the regular season doesn't matter, only the playoffs. We REALLY need a killer goaltender, and I'm not sure Varly or Neuvirth are it. As Ken Beatrice used to say, the ONLY thing that matters in the playoffs is goalie.

But as Ted says, "Don't get too high with the highs, don't get too low with the lows." I'm going into this year optimistic but not as excited as the end of last year.

The only reason we can say the regular season doesn't matter is because our team is good enough to believe they'll have a good regular season regardless. That in and of itself is quite an accomplishment for a team in this town and I for one am perfectly happy with that.

The Caps will knock the Caps out of the playoffs this year. Just like they do every year by failing to show up in critical games.

+1. Great analysis and totally true. But, goaltending is the only thing that really matters in the postseason. A mediocre team can ride a hot goalie all the way to the Cup. Conversely, even the most high powered offense won't matter if your goaltender gives up more between the five hole than some Radford slut on a typical Saturday night.

Some defense would be nice for a change.

At least they got rid of the passive box on the PK. Last season showed that the better PK teams used an aggressive "attack the points" plan. I watched the Caps' PK last night against Boston and they hounded the daylights out of the Bruins' PP at the points. That in and of itself is a very good step forward.

And the Caps are up 2-0 on the B's in the Garden - Backstrom with both, although the second was a tip-in of a Schultz half-slap.

It all comes down to whether you are hungry..or not. For example, the Caps and Penguins two seasons ago. Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final. The Penguins were hungry..real fuckin' hungry because they kicked the shit out of the Caps. I think it was like 7-2 wasn't it? I've been a Penguins fan for years and I was sooo happy. Caps have never beaten Pittsburgh in the playoffs. And what really got me were some of those so called 'Caps fans' after that game during TV interviews. "I paid all that money to watch the game and they lost" LOL fuckin' bandwagon 'fans'

Definitely not going to be the Rangers. They're going to be golfing on Monday!

The way the Caps are playing, maybe NOBODY knocks them out of the playoffs!

The Sabres have had more folds in the playoffs than the World Series of Poker. The Caps may not make it to the Stanley Cup, but I don't think it will be due to Buffalo.

Ryan Miller is a great golie but other than that, Buffalo doesn't scare me. Glad the Caps get a good rest to get healthy before the next round. You can't play a 7 game series every round and make the finals. You can, it just doesn't happen often.

Thought for sure the Sabres were going to win that one yesterday. Tough loss.

Three days rest is going to be critical for the Caps. I bet they all had a very long nights sleep last night.

I don't care who the Caps play next

Canadians - payback time
Penguins - payback time
Lightning - division opponent Caps know well


If the Caps get off to a fast start in round two, everyone will say it’s because they had time off and were well rested. If they get off to a slow start, it will be because they had time off and they were rusty. Funny how that works.

I think as long a Sid the Kid and Malkin are injured, the Pens are the best of the three to go up against.

Malkin is done for sure but Crosby could come back. Don't know if he would be any help to his team though if he's not 100%.

We won't know until tonight but whoever it ends up being, I'm hoping for a game Friday night and an afternoon game on Sunday. That would make my weekend.

- Flower has been looking like shit lately, so I say this is the one we hope for

Lightning has had very high scores against what is supposed to be one of the best defenses and PK lines around.

I would rather the Caps play the Penguins who are beat up and will not have had much rest before Game 1 (likely on Friday).

Looks like this year's winner is:

TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

Hopefully the Caps save face and don't get swept. At least win 1 or 2 in this series.

The curse continues.

How are they buckling to a division rival they trounced in the regular season? I don't get it? What is it with the psychology of this team???
