Just got a text saying Nicky will be back in the lineup tonight. I'm glad to have him back, although I'm sure it will take him some time to get used to his normal self.
sweet. i was hoping we would have locked up the playoff spot by now and he would be back just in time for the playoffs. it's gonna be nice to have him back, this will be there first time him and green have been in the lineup together in forever it seems

Very nice to see them lock up their 5th consecutive playoff spot tonight, but the previous 4 haven't worked out so well so I don't know what to anticipate. And this team clearly isn't as good as in years past, I can't remember a recent Caps team that has blown as many leads as this team has. I started getting concerned when Florida came back to bring the score to 3-2, especially with the way they stayed in our zone in the 3rd period. The caps didn't allow a lot of shots though, so there's that at least, and we got a clutch goal from Semin to secure it at the end. Doesn't matter if they win the division or not though, all you need is a ticket to the big dance.

I won't say thank god for them, but I will give you kudos for coming back on the Sabres last night so we could clinch.

It has to start somewhere It has to start sometime. What better place than here, what better time than now?
It's that time again. The rare event in which we get to watch hometown playoffs. It's hockey and playoff seeding means very little, so I like our odds. We owned Boston in Boston as well.
I like our odds this series, lets see if Dale Hunter's strategy can translate.

Yeah we'll see. Most of my friends think we're walking into a buzzsaw, but anything can happen. I will say though that the Caps' regular season success against the Bruins doesn't mean much now though.

Biggest problem here is Holtby in goal. Apparently he has some swagger- so lets see if that can translate into success. I'm not arrogant going into this series, but I am cautiously optimistic.

I was actually surprised by this STAT but BOS is averaging 3.17 goals per game this season; 3rd best behind PHI & PIT. Waht sucks for WAS is that there is really no one big scorer on BOS the puck really gets spread around.
I think a lot depends on the rust on Backstrom skates as to how this series will be determined.
I say BOS in six and if BOS loses the series I will be behind WAS moving forward.
