    The Oilers are the worst run organization in all of the major 4 North American sports leagues now that the Browns have seemingly turned the corner.

    It's just amazing to watch this piss stain night after night. Dumbarelli finally fired but insane damage has been done. And Katz and Nicholson have absolutely no clue. We have the best player in the world and still are a total trainwreck.

    I'd have a problem if I was a fan of this team and the NY Jets and DIDN'T drink

    What is the problem, @Jake? I don't understand how they haven't put a better team around McDavid. It doesn't make sense.

    And it really doesn’t make sense since a few years ago they made the playoffs and eliminated the Sharks if I remember correctly. They looked like a growing force...and then shit the bed

    Caps dominate the Pens for 30+ minutes, have a 2-0 lead, then completely collapse to lose 5-3. That is my sports life in a nutshell the last 24 hours. o_O

    Yep. I certainly do. That is why eliminating them in Pittsburgh on the road to a Stanley Cup last year was so special.

    My Leafs completely outclassed by Tampa Monday night.
    Gotta bounce back vs. Chicago tonight at home.

    No doubt the Lightning are great, but I am really interested to see how things shake out in the playoffs. The Leafs, Bruins, Capitals, Penguins, could all beat the Lightning. Even a series against the young Isles, Hurricanes, and Habs wouldn't be easy. If Columbus can get into gear, they will not be an easy out either. So the Eastern Conference Playoffs will be truly exciting this year. Not a lot separating these teams.

    Good Lord, the Lightning are tough. The Capitals played a really good game, but 3 Power Play Goals by Tampa Bay were tough to overcome. Kuznetsov tied it with 52 seconds left to force OT, but Ovechkin tripped and sent the Bolts on a breakaway and a 5-4 win in OT. Very fun and exciting game, but I would have liked the win.

    Just noticed The Lightning have already clinched the President's Trophy and they still have 8 games left. Amazing. Also impressive they still gave a great effort tonight, despite not needing to.

    I think they have to keep playing. I’d rather risk injury than lose momentum.

    Yeah, agreed. It is tough to do though. Vasilevskiy was really good tonight.

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Hurricanes punch their ticket to the playoffs.
    Really fun season and exciting team to watch.

    One of my miserable teams I root for just ended a huge drought, now need Jets to do same.

    You guys are a bunch of jerks! :D Looks highly likely there could be a Capitals-Hurricanes series in Round 1. That would be a fun series. I still love Justin Williams. Can't cheer for him that series, but I definitely wish him well. He is the man.

    Love JW
    KIngs, Canes and Caps fans know the player he is, big time playoff performer.
    Really thought he would help bring cup to the Caps but glad we got him back.
    His leadership and getting the “C” this year cannot be said enough for value he added to locker room.

    The East is Official Now:

    Lightning vs. Blue Jackets
    Capitals vs. Hurricanes
    Islanders vs. Penguins
    Bruins vs. Maple Leafs

    All 4 series have potential to be great. Can't wait!
