Boro is still listed as day-to-day with a LBI. not sure about Stalberg .
I wonder if the CF will start on Friday or Saturday. I'd expect Saturday, unless NBC... i mean the NHL wants a Friday / Sunday schedule for the 1st two games. Or game 1 on Sunday if the NHL asks Sid if he needs a break
I'm with you SD... I know Caps are the president's trophy winners for a reason... but Pens are the cup winners for a reason.
And I just feel like the system MIGHT have a chance against Caps, whereas the Pens will just kill us with large leads and lots of powerplays. Then i have to listen to all the Crosby show nonsense.
PIT is a great great team. All the more reason I think Caps are underdogs here.
The Caps have not been consistent in the playoffs. Especially with defense and goaltending.
Caps
18 GA in 6 game vs Toronto 16 GA in 6 game vs Pittsburgh
Playoffs 2.83 Reg Season 2.21
Sens
13 GA in 6 games vs Boston 20 GA in 6 games vs NY
Playoffs 2.75 Reg Season 2.61
So the Sens have played both a tight low scoring series against Boston and a fast passed higher scoring series against NY and came out on top in both in 6 games. For a team that struggled on offence during the regular season, it's encouraging that they were able to adapt
It sure is thx for the stats. Does anyone know status on Boro, Stalberg and any other guys who were hurt besides Karlsson.
