Stanley Cup Playoffs Round One: Hurricanes vs. Capitals

[MillionDollarCam]

Well... the Canes will have to go through the defending Stanley Cup Champions in round one.

The series will most likely start this Wednesday. The Canes were 0-3-1 against the Capitals in the four games the two teams played during the regular season and two of the games were very close.

It will be really interesting to see Ferland against Wilson in this matchup as playoff hockey is a whole different breed.

One of Mrazek's only blemishes in the last 13 games was against the Capitals, hopefully he can steal us this series.

The last time the Canes played a team in the playoffs that they went 0-4 against in the regular season

I hate the Caps, how Wilson is still playing in the NHL is beyond me and Ovechkin is a cherry-picker with one shot in his arsenal, from the left wing.

Nothing would make me happier than to see the Caps go down in flames, but I just don't see it for at least the first round.

Wilson has a bad rep but there are way worse guys in the league than him. I hate them all too, but gotta give credit to Ovechkin. Everyone knows what’s coming every time and the guy still scores. He’s unstoppable and will probably be the all time goal leader when he retires, which is kind of unfathomable considering the era he’s played in. Winning this series would be like winning the cup for me, as making the playoffs this year was already a huge deal.

Question: How has there been 0 posts in this sub-forum since we've been playing playoff hockey? Let's get hype boys. GAME SEVEN. I honestly am prepared for a loss but at least having a chance is better than nothing. Road team is 0-6 in the series. But hey, we got the first lead change of the series tonight, and might have Svech or/and Ferland back for game 7. Hopefully Marty didn't re-injure himself too hard tonight. 

Let's go Canes!

They put a thread in the main Panthers forum to try to get a little more involvement from the others that don't frequent this subforum.  Check it out.
