[lilshiraz]

[Will637]

How will they manage to sell 20,000+ tickets in less than 24 hours? Haha.




EDIT: Actually, less than 12 hours since ticketmaster and Verizon Center box office opens at 9 AM.

[lilshiraz]

i tried getting some, it was already sold out

[Agent0IsMyHero]

^ wow...thats crucial...

i would LOVE to watch game 7 tmrw night at the phone booth...

[risk48910]

Its been a great series so far.... lets hope the Caps can pull this one out, the perseverence and resolve that this young team has displayed is hopefully something that the Wizards can learn from coming back home down 0-2.

Lets go Caps! I'll definitely be tuning in.

Oh yeah, they had a presale for games 5 and 7 and I'm guessing people jumped on those. They still had tickets for game 2 on game day last week, so I was surprised at that. I'm guessing they'll release some later today.

[ACW]

I'm going :)

Got mine during the presale.

GOD I CAN'T WAIT! BRING 'EM ON!:fight:

[NoVAwizfan]

I'm guessing the game is tonight by some of the previous posts.

Great to see someone made a game thread for this crucial game 7! Last night was such a good game. Im so excited for this game tonight.

FINALLY!! THE CAPS!!!! HAVE COME BACK!!!! TO THE PHONEBOOTH!!!!...were gonna make a splash in the NHL tonight!

LETS GO CAPS!

[tEastof95']

I will be watching, let's go Caps.

[admin]

what a great comeback from the CAP's

[BBallWiz]

It's all come down to this. This is what it's all about. Great to have home-ice to start the series and have such a crucial game in front of the home fans. Come on Caps, the momentum is on your side!!! Go Caps!

[LooseCannon_aka_one3]

I have watched 2 of the games this series. I have had said before I am not a hockey fan, but I have been really getting into these games. They are pretty exciting, and I was watching the two goals Ovechkin scored Monday because I was about to kill myself from watching the Wizards. Hope they dominate tonight.

[BBallWiz]

Let's go Caps! Score first to get the home crowd really rocking and put the Flyers in a hole early!!!

[NoVAwizfan]

Goooooooooooal! Backstrum!

[BBallWiz]

Goooooooooooal! Backstrum!

Yep. He's been on a tear. Great to see the Caps score first and take advantage of the 2-man Power-Play advantage!!! :clap:

[NoVAwizfan]

he really has been clutch. Id like to see Green get a goal tonight as well

[The Burgundy and Gold]

huge game tonight, go Caps

[BBallWiz]

Too bad the Flyers tied it at 1-1. But major props to the Penalty-killing unit at the end of the Period, being down 1 man for 4 minutes and during that time also being down another man. Very impressive! :clap:

[LooseCannon_aka_one3]

Penalty killers.......I like that. That got pretty intense there with the 5 on 3. Great job defending. I was gettin a little nervous.

[BBallWiz]

What a laser by Ovie!!! Tied up at 2-2 (even though that 2nd Philly goal should have been goalie interference :cussing:).

[Diablo]

Seriously!

Oh well, let's go Caps!

[Gil&theWiz]

Seriously I dont think the flyers goalie had a chance to react, he didnt move...literally

[lilshiraz]

the 2nd philly goal was BS. they got lebron treatment out there.

[BigThree]

the 2nd philly goal was BS. they got lebron treatment out there.
Agreed. we should be up 2-1 right now.

[tEastof95']

Semin should of got that shot. They just let dude shoot.

[tEastof95']

Thang, i remember playing with Sergei Fedorov back in NHL 95'.

[Diablo]

Wow that was intense. Now OT.. They must be dead out there.

[GOSKINS_08]

Going into OT..I cant believe im watching an NHL game lol.

[BBallWiz]

Man, OT in Game 7, wow. Come on Caps! You guys made a comeback to force this game, now take care of business in OT and send the home crowd back home happy!

[tEastof95']

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Diablo]

Damn damn damn

Hell of an effort by the Caps.

[matix]

wow every team in this city fails in the playoffs

its like a disease

[BBallWiz]

What a horrible way to lose and end this magical season by the Caps. I mean the tripping might have been the right call, but let the players decide it and not the refs. :banghead:

Much props to the Caps for a great run leading to the Playoffs and the comeback to get to tonight's game. Sucks that it had to end like this.

[GilTheGreat]

This was a tough ending. . . especially at home. . . especially after this kind of season. They really gave it their all I think. "There's always next year" seams so cliche around DC these days. . .

lets hope the Wiz can pull something off.

[lilshiraz]

THAT WAS BULL****

2nd goal shouldn't have counted.

Ovie really wanted it also

[Katastrophe]

Let the players decide the tripping call?

Anyway, tough loss. Hopefully the Wiz can stay alive in the playoffs unlike the Caps & Skins.

I mean I know it was tripping. A little before that the Caps got away with another one. I mean with it being OT and everything, I thought the game should be decided when both teams are at full strength. But I realize what the Caps did, did deserve a penalty. I just hate that the season had to end when they were a man down. Just so frustrating. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Yeah I know what ya mean. But like you said, they had (what should have been a tripping call) a few moments before, so I guess the refs had to call it. :icon13:

I have no doubt that if it would have been full strength during the whole OT we could have won.

[TheREALJBird]

Sucks that we lost essentially because of a blatant no call....but no point bitching about refs. Hell of a year for the caps, the future is very bright with this team

[SantanaClaus89]

I'm not going to act like I know much about hockey, but I did watch this game and I have to know:

Can you really just throw dudes into your opponents goalie like that? That really didn't seem fair.

you aren't allowed to, the Caps scored a goal like that earlier in the regular season and it was called back. the refs missed the call, but they should have reviewed it.

[matix]

poti ****ed up with those 2 blatant trips he was lucky the first one wasn't called but they got him the 2nd time. i knew they were going to score if they got the power play and the did.

Take your meds and go to bed Garrett, tomm. brings a whole new day of pissing and moaning:D

Agreed, so many guys 24 years of age and under. Gotta lock up Green and Huet to contracts. Having Federov back would also be nice.

[BigThree]

We got ROBBED, with a "capital" R. Bad call, we should have won this in regulation. Heck of a season though.
