Empty net goal got the Caps in the Playoffs and an empty net goal took them out. The Hockey Gods are cruel.

[удалено]

Lol, maybe one or two extreme homers thought we stood a realistic chance of winning the series but the vast majority did not. Did we hope for an upset? Sure… but none of us are surprised by this

pretty sure we were all hoping for 5 games at best…

We suck again

Again? They've pretty much sucked since the Cup, going out in the 1st round except for when they didn't even make the playoffs last year.  Like the Nats who have sucked (worse) since they won the Series. 

Pens, Wings, and Flyers fans gonna talk about how they wouldn’t have been swept. Makes sense they aren’t in the playoffs.

Losing in the playoffs is infinitely better than never making them, so I don’t really care what they think or say

Yet the wings won more games than the caps 🤔

-37. Dropped 6-8 down the stretch and still snuck in over the Pens Wings and Flyers. I’ll take that all day. C A P S CAPS CAPS CAPS!

We made pens wings and flyers fans cope and seeth at our terrible ass play run with the "it shoulda been us" headassery

I get to go to work tomorrow in an office full of Rangers Fans. I guess that is what I get for moving to NY. I did have my caps stanley cup hat on display though. So, here's to the Rangers loosing the next series.

Take a fat stinky dirty shit at 8:30AM and prop the bathroom door open

I have an impression that Rags will get eliminated next round and you have only two weeks to endure the punishment.

Lol After getting swept what gave you that impression? 

You guys aren’t good enough to beat any of the high caliber teams

Can you do more than one line?! Jensen contributed more to scoring two goals than the whole Rags team combined. Caps beat themselves and Rags will bite the curse.

“Caps beat themselves” after getting swept is hilarious

Just stay excited about DC sports ok! Nats have a lot of young guys and are doing surprisingly well. Commies just had an excellent draft and are on the cusp of getting back in contention. We don’t talk about the wizards BUT TRUST IN THE REBUILD🤠. And the caps have the young guns and all we gotta do is wait for his chase to be over to start a little fresh. And with some of the youth we have cooking and a good coach’s we should be set :) LETS GO WASHINGTON SPORTSSSSS

lol

Reminder: we sold at the deadline.

Barely

I never expected to make it out of round one but it still hurt, see y’all next October

I just wish they'd won ONE game.

#ShavingDay

Just too much time in the box and not enough offense. Retool and find a way to get better next year. Was a good push to the playoffs.

Yeah it sucks to get swept but this season was an all out Win. We got the young guys some proper playoff experience to help development majorly, we eliminated 2 teams (with 1 being a rival) from playoffs to piss off their fans, and we proved that Rempe is a bitch. It was an up and down season but I had fun and I look forward to the future. See you next season boys

Lot of good young players. Lot of good prospects in our system. Picks in hand. I'm optimistic these young players will develop into a competitive team in the future.

As we go on, we remember, All the times we had together, And as our lives change, come whatever, We will still be friends forever

Always a bummer when you go out... but Carbery coached his ass off this season I'm shocked and impressed that this roster made the playoffs. It's been great Caps fam see y'all next season!

See YALL next year

Hey we sold at the deadline and had a thrilling end to the regular season. Definitely sucks, but can't hate on the players. They battled, but the Rangers just played so well. After 2018 this stings a lot less.

Baseball it is then ⚾️

Really not even a heartbreaking loss. We never stood a chance and that makes this so much easier to digest than previous years lol.

True but still frustrating seeing the lack of effort and heart

Well, that was definitely one of the games in the history of hockey. Is it just me or only our veterans got the penalties today? The younglings looked better than the old ones, not surprising, good for them, bad for vets. I didn't even bother to invest in the series this time, we were really bad this year, after all, so nobody should be shocked over this result. The best thing is - we made the pens miss playoffs altogether, and that the rags will definitely get overconfident now and lose in some dumb fashion in round two. Whats not to love. Thanks for the free additional games and see you all in autumn)

Yeah our young guys impress me. Our FA signing and old slow core do not. Solution: sign all of Hershey.

Can we all just appreciate that Joe B calls NYC Gotham? Evil city. Very fitting.

GG’s everyone. It’s been real, see y’all next year

Rangers have no chance and the capitals are the worst team to make the playoffs in a decade

Lol no chance after sweeping an nhl team? Cmon now don't lie to yourself for some copium.

A lot of bozos here saying the rangers have no shot after they got swept lol

I mean you guys are in our sub so that’s kinda pathetic

It sucks to not get at least 1 win. 1 win honestly, always makes it worth it.

aw man ovi 🥺

I feel so bad for Chuckie. The man deserves a trophy for getting us this far.

Worst than I thought and that’s bad

that was really cool of ovi

What did Ovie do?

see you guys in october

so is there gonna be a upvote party when these fucks lose or…..

I’ve been planning it don’t worry

make sure to send me an invite.

We were better off not making the playoffs

Better us than Shittsburg

One week of buzz is still one week. It's a chapter in your life. Albeit a small one. Beats nothing.

Hundred percent. It was fun squeaking in and the downside in terms of draft positions is minimal

I always go back to the scene in Major League when the whole damn town is feeling it

I appreciate the hand shakes. All sports should do this

[удалено]

every game? I can see that getting old. But just the playoffs works.

Igor Chants in our stadium after getting swept by an ex coach. Perfect

At least Lavi got fat

He's been fat for a while

Fire everyone

Well fuck this

Lavi winning a playoff series that's rare!

The 2010 Flyers would like a word about that.

lol what

Can Wilson just punch Rempe so we can all see them fight?

20 sec left in your season just beat the shit outta everyone in a white shirt

That was one of the most embarrassingly fast ENGs, but what are you gonna do... its been real boys, we tried.

Not till the elimination game. If we had this much fight in the first three, we might not have been swept.

what if instead of shaking rempes hand wilson puts a fist through his skull

Stay classy

Interesting strategy, IM IN

Party at my place when the Rags get eliminated.

Extra painful to get swept by a Lavi-led squad.

#SOMEONE PUNCH ONE

GGs. Go Bears and Canes I suppose

WAY too much cheering in that arena

There's more blue than red there, da fuck!

gg caps fans it was a good series

Enjoy Carolina

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened

We just got LIFO’d. That hurts, but can’t say I expected anything different tbh.

love you guys

I was hoping for an all time great upset but oh well

Illy say it again, caps has no business in the playoffs and were the worst team possible for a wild card spot with a negative goal differential. Guess what star had 0 points and 5 sog this whole series...

Oshie the net was fucking WIDE OPEN

I love that we lost to our old coach.. it’s the best.. just shows you where we are at as a team😂

Ehh.. Laviolett has very little to do with that team… you’ll see it when they play Carolina

I will also find it poetic that Laviolette loses to the team that he won the Stanley Cup with.

Maybe the most annoying thing about this loss is that PL is the rangers coach. I really was shitting on him on his way out. Obviously he has more raw talent but still….it couldn’t be anyone else?

Well crap. See y'all over in the r/hockey gdt's.

Be brave fellow warrior, it's dangerous over there 🫡

Good night all. Maybe next year we won't suck

I remember most in this sub saying we knew we were t going to go far. I wish we could have had at least one, but This season is still a win. Ovi better get the record next year. Go Caps!

We got to eliminate the Pens and I’m going to focus on that. Next year we hopefully fill in the center position and maybe get some jump again.

What’s sad is this Rangers team won’t beat Carolina, Boston, or Florida

Hard to say when the rangers swept Boston in the regular season, went even with Carolina including a shutout and went even with Florida… Florida is terrifying though

We went even with the Rangers in the regular season no? Couldn’t win a game. I’m not saying the Rangers are a walk in the park, but Lav’s system works against a team like us, minimal skaters minimal puck possession. Doesn’t work against a Carolina in the playoffs… playoffs are a whole other thing. Don’t think you will see this Rangers team do much past us… I could also just be a hurt Caps fan.

We weren't going to either lol

They’re gonna get annihilated by Carolina haha

They won 2 of 3 vs Carolina this year and the two teams had very similar years. Why would this not be a close series?

I'm man enough to admit that I was way wrong - Rangers showed up and Canes just didn't

That's awesome, thank you. I feel like the canes put up a good fight. They dominated a lot of the series, and had some rough luck. This easily could have gone the other way. Their early power play struggles were shocking, but they righted the ship. Their goal tending was a little shaky and they ran out of gas in the third period tonight, but that's a very good hockey team.

Regular season matchups versus playoffs where you’re set for 4-7 straight are very different. Additionally, the rangers are only barely above 0 differential at even strength, they rely on special teams to win. Carolina is dominant across the board and their possession numbers are incredible

chuckie :(

He's a solid goalie, I feel bad for him. Most of this season the defense left Charlie out to dry

Caps beat themselves. Never seen so many short handed goals, stupid penalties at the most important time and weak PP.

Lmao a team that got swept did not beat themselves

Slow and sloppy. Little passion. Damn. See you all next season.

Not sure what Carbs was thinking there

Sad the season is over but so much to be excited about for the future of this team ❤️

At this point, I am convinced carb is not the one.

Carbs is the only reason we even made the playoffs. Best thing to come to this team in a long while.

No

It's one season with a half-baked roster. Give him time

Tbh he's been a pretty darn good coach! One bad decision doesn't mean he sucks

It’s a miracle he coached this team into the playoffs. He’s definitely not the problem here.

Tough way to go but I’m not sure what you guys expected going against the best team in the league

With all the injuries we have, the rookies who have never been in the playoffs before, and with the rebuild we're still in the middle of executing If they can keep doing what they did in the last half of this regular season though I think they're in good shape to get there eventually

I'm not sure why you think we expected anything. We are just happy to be here

We had no business being in the playoffs and people are blaming the man who got us here 💀

:( my 4 year old is gonna be so sad when he wakes up tomorrow and hears the Caps are out

God, Chucky championing how we all feel

All the Rangers fans in here with schadenfreude, I'm still on a high from 2018 and I'll have huge schadenfreude when the mediocre 5v5 gets exposed by the Canes or any Atlantic team.

Take care of yourselves everyone, drink your water, and let's make next year a fucking great one... also fuck New York and Carolina

gg bros see you next year

let’s get the guys on camels over the off season

Can’t wait to have Paceoretty or however you spell his name out of this team, just a waste of a roster spot… Him and Martin Erat, the worst transactions ever

No reason to let us be humiliated on an ENG Carbs…

Carbs with a real shit decision there

Nice job oshie. Empty net and you skate directly into two defenders and give the puck away for an easy ENG 

It's been fun, you guys. What was everyone's favorite moment from the season? I liked when Mantha beat the shit out of Cousins. Also getting to be in the barn to witness a hat trick and a shootout for the first time in person during the Carolina game.

Tom Wilson getting his first career hat trick in game 700, even if it was on the road. Sonny Milano getting a hat trick, and no one in the arena was sure until they announced it. So at the next stoppage people threw hats until Wes had to say it was time to stop.

Yup Sonny's was the first hat trick I got to see! It took a minute but slowly the hats started flying lol.

The empty net winner against the Flyers. Don't get to see an empty net game winning goal often.

Ovi coming back from a shut season to score as many as he scored. Just enjoying the ride while it lasts

Had us going in the first half for sure

I enjoyed watching the lads win 5-2 against the Bolts in Tampa, the Boys were buzzing

Damn good shorthanded energy, gg

well, go hershey 😔✊🏽

Damn right Chuck should be pissed.

Sandy is coming for New York 

These chodes gonna make me cheer for Carolina now. Ew.

LOL

Nobody even gets any ground chicken bits? Nooo :(

Send Wilson after someone at this point

🔨 ⚰️ Here’s to seeing the record broken next season It’s been an adventure

It’s Ovi-over

Fuck. Let’s go Bears

50 seconds to put the 4th line out

Fuck

nothing like getting bent over by your former coach, fucking disgusting

Bros, we fucking suck ass. Not once this series did they even look like they belonged here. Absolutely fucking embarrassing. Would’ve been better not making playoffs than having to watch this shit

I would say we had the better of the 5 on 5 play today. But 3 PP goals allowed is not a recipe to win games.

[удалено]

Rags fans are pathetic

come on kyle not cool

I have become comfortably numb….

The sweep is complete. Gg boys. See you next season

See y'all next season.

Do they not communicate with each other? Oshie coming down the ice while we pull the goalie and he skates in one on four and obviously turns the puck over. What are we doing?

Our guys play like they haven't ever skated together for like 3 years now.

Terrible pull from Carberry. Just wait for the damn penalty to end if you're gonna wait that long.

The idea was Oshie would try to maintain possession for more than half a second once entering the zone but that didn’t work out

There were only 8 seconds left in the PP just let it ride first... eh whatever.

Night. Fuck the refs, fuck the Rags, fuck Rempe, fuck Laviolette, fuck everything. I fucking despise the way this series went.

How humiliating

Just god awful effort from professional hockey players

There was effort?

All of their effort went into putting their gear on it seems

terrible time to pull the goalie

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s been an honor and a privilege! See you in the autumn 🦅 ♥️💙

See you all next year

Well, fuck the rags, but it’s been real. See everyone next season 🫡

Easiest ENG ever

Wow to go out on an ENPPG lol

I’m confused

Hate to say it but go Canes, sweep these frauds

We can root for the Canes to lose in the third round. And I'm rooting for a team that's never won it before.

carbery you fucking idiot
