Stankoven is a midget but he plays big 

I'm definitely eating crow - didn't think he would be much for us and he has gladly proven me wrong

He's quickly becoming my second favorite player behind Svechnikov. Also for the love of God give the man "Svechnikov" the other A next season, he deserves it and it means something to him.

He’s a great fit for the team.  I figured he was just some throw in but he’s a legit prospect that’s already good enough to play at the NHL level.

I was honestly starting to think Svech might be trade bait, because he wasn’t really fitting in with the team that well this season.  He’s completely come on during the playoffs though.

Let’s not forget Freddie kept us in it to allow the win, stopping 13 of 14 with a .929 SV%.

Slavin was THE man on defense and offense with the OT winner.

I think he was in his headspace and game 82 with the A meant something and snapped him out of it. He wants to win so bad that he sometimes tries to do too much.

Damn I put a few bucks on jarvis to score the OT winner. On replay, he definitely deflected the shot

...a victory cocktail.

I’ve been wrong about just about everything,  already blew up my 20 dollar account.

We had a group of us at the Linkin Park concert tonight at Lenova. A lot of people were watching the Canes game so we went wild when One Step Closer played and Slavo scored

That's awesome!! How were they without Chester? Seems like the woman they got as lead singer has pretty good vocals

She kicked ass. Obviously not the same but it’s an absolute pleasure to see this band live. What a great evening.

They also came out for the encore and the singers were dressed in canes jerseys. Pretty fuging cool.

Will be interesting to see how the Caps adjust. They were thoroughly beaten in this game despite it going to OT and they knew it by getting chippy. If they lose game 2 they’re in a hole they might not be able to dig themselves out of. They played old and tired tonight and I think they might get swept.
