The Official 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

Yandle is having a terrible game.

Bleh, so what's the 3rd period in Bos/Wash going to be like? Caps players embellishing all over trying to draw calls?

[IlliniM1ke]

The amount of stuff they haven't called against Phoenix and THAT gets a whistle? Weak.

[ImTellinTim]

Did I just hear Fugazi on the PA system in Washington?

Same reason as other Canadian markets (weather aside):

1. Taxes
2. US-born spouses who don't want to live in a "foreign" country
3. 24/7/365 spotlight

I don't blame them, I wouldn't want to live under a microscope either. That's the way it is.

As good as Oduya was to end the regular season he has been equally awful since the playoffs started.

That was pathetic and that should do it for this game and likely the series.

You're obviously unfamiliar with the history of the Jets/Coyotes franchise when it comes to holding 3-1 series leads.

Hopefully history works in our favor, can't see this team fighting back especially without Hossa.
