Going with Ovie to finally get his name on the Cup ....... SOMEBODY needs to stop the Golden Clowns of the desert.

Not an Ovi fan.  And I don’t believe anymore that a good/great player deserves a title.  Guys like Marino, Fouts, Tarkenton never won one.

Honestly, thought Tampa outplayed the Caps in Game 7, however I still thought the Caps outworked Tampa in the series and just happened to run into a hot net-minder in one of the games where the Caps left with a loss. It's now or never IMO for Ovie. I was looking at some clips of him from 2005 when I first watched him play in the NHL while living in Phoenix (I was at the game against the Coyotes where he scored the craziest goal ever IMO) and he's definitely lost that burst of speed that made him so special. However he still commands his edges like very few people (his first goal last night he was going backwards on his blades - straight beast mode). I was on my submarine in 1998 when the Caps last were in the Finals - difficult to watch a series when you're at sea. I finally get the opportunity to view a game live with my Caps in the Finals (flying to DC for one of the games). Hoping another Knights team will not have a legitimate claim to a title after this series concludes.

The irony is that we are now the new Caps.

You're kidding, right? Caps hadn't been to a conference finals in 20 years ... only been to 3 in their 40 plus years of experience. Lightning have been to 3 in the last 4 years.

Don't believe they deserve one just for being a good/great player but think it's nice when one who plays the game right way does finally get rewarded. Shame that Fouts, and especially Tarkenton, didn't get one. Thought Marino was a me first guy .... Only bad thing about Ovi getting his name on there is that **** Wilson gets on there, too.

Simple last night, Caps buried their chances, Lightning didn't ...

If Las Vegas wins, who's the other team?

Holtby was NOT a hot net-minder ... the Caps defense in front of Holtby is the real MVP of that series.

Just wanted to clarify that nobody, that I can see, called Hotby a hot net-minder ...

[GaUSFBull]

Yeah I read it wrong.
