The Flyers don't have the goaltending and a very slow defense I don't think they can win it all. If Vancouver can make quick work of Chicago they should be in the finals along with the Caps. I have a feeling the Caps have been playing possum all year and so has Ovi. Their biggest problem is also in net, who of the 3 potential starters do you go with?

Having 3 goalies is a positive thing. I feel pretty good about the Capitals' goaltending. I'm pretty sure Neuvirth will be in net the whole way. Goal scoring is what worries me. A healthy Mike Green could be the difference in the first round.

 

As far as the Flyers go... I just think they will wear all their opponents down. They play well as a team.

 

And for the Red Wings... The playoffs is when they start to play their best hockey. It seems as though they just have a switch that they can turn on whenever they want.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I hope the whole Caps-Rangers series isn't like game one though I'm pretty sure it will be ... I'm drained. I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple more overtime games. It also wouldn't surprise me if every game is decided by 1 goal.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Glad the Caps and Ranger play opposite nights then the Canadians and Bruins. I think that will be a great series. If the Caps get eliminate I'll be pulling for Montreal.

A couple series down:

 

Washington won over the NY Rangers 4 games to 1.

Detroit swept Phoenix in a boring series 4 games to none.

 

--- A couple more series could wrap up within the next day or two.

Seems like the Flyers peaked too early this year, I HAVE A FEELING THEY MIGHT BE DONE BY TONIGHT...

 

 

Yeah... I know what that's like... The Capitals do that all the time. I really though the Flyers would cruise in their series. Though from the point of view from a Caps fan I'm kind of glad they didn't. Even if they win in 7 it could take a toll on them the rest of the way. Buffalo is actually the team I wanted the Caps to face in round one... Maybe they will meet in round two instead.

    • Heard this today. Awesome song. Huge chorus. 
    • Safe, but a nice song.  Did they name their band after a random HEAT song? 
    • Really good band, but haven't heard from them in an absolute age. Shame if all they're doing is a few covers.  The 'Bye bye bye' cover is killer.  'I want it that way' is a great song anyway, but their version is gold. Love that.  But just to prove you can't polish a dog turd, no one could make 'Thriller' sound listenable to me.  Amplified even more with 'Believer.' No Imagine Dragons song should ever be covered or allowed to be acknowledged that it was even actually recorded. Horrendous band and I hate the cover only a tiny bit less than the original, which is a tonne. 
    • Kickin' riff. This is a cool tune indeed. New album sounding promising. 
    • Doesn't do much for me. Not sure it's any better than what I've heard from the new BJ album... but I guess it's not too bad. Wouldn't play it again, though. 
    • Bit 50/50 on it, myself. I prefer the stuff on Mick's solo album, but it's not a bad song. That kind of solo in a Motley song definitely sticks out... but not in a bad way. It's cool. I dig. 
    • Did they actually break up? They were releasing albums annually and finally fixed up the production end but haven't heard from them for a while now. Always loved everything they released, personally.  Edit - yeah, 'Be Here' from 2020 seems to be the last album. Allegedly still active, but obviously no recent albums. Would love to hear them add to the discography. 
    • Released back in 2019 on vinyl only in most of the world, the only place it could be purchased on CD was Japan. It is finally available on CD to the rest of the world with the addition of two bonus tracks. One is the usual "bonus" track of a live recording of Go man go, and the other is the song Don't give up which was released at the start of the pandemic as a single. https://townsendmusic.store/product/140275?lf=035f179d9c80928d2d3b155fa72b0731 Follow the breadcrumbs to a sonic treasure trove with Alice Cooper's "Breadcrumbs" EP, which will be available on CD for the first time ever, featuring additional bonus tracks on this edition! Originally released in 2019 as a limited-edition 10" vinyl record, "Breadcrumbs" is a tribute to the garage rock heroes of Alice Cooper's hometown of Detroit. The EP features six tracks that showcase Cooper's raw and energetic take on classic Detroit tunes, including Suzi Quatro's "Your Mama Won't Like Me", Bob Seger's "East Side Story", and the MC5's "Sister Anne". It also includes the two additional bonus tracks "Don’t Give Up", conveying Cooper’s message of hope and perseverance to his fans during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a live version of "Go Man Go" from his electrifying set at Hellfest 2022. The album featured a star-studded lineup of Detroit musicians, including Wayne Kramer of the MC5, Johnny "Bee" Badanjek of the Detroit Wheels, and Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad. "Breadcrumbs" marked the beginning of Alice Cooper's homecoming, a journey that culminated in the critically acclaimed studio album "Detroit Stories", released in 2020. This EP served as a taste of Cooper's profound affection for his hometown's rich musical heritage, making it an essential addition for any devoted fan of the shock rock icon.   1. Detroit City 2020 2. Go Man Go 3. East Side Story 4. Your Mama Won't Like Me 5. Devil With A Blue Dress On / Chains Of Love 6. Sister Anne 7. Don't Give Up (Bonus Track) 8. Go Man Go (Live At Hellfest 2022) (Bonus Track)
