They got beat by the most important position in the 4 majors sports.

When you are the #1 and you're playing the #8, and you have a 3-1 series lead and you lose, it's a choke pure and simple. -- nm - Shaun Apr 29, 05:38 4
- I don't buy that; it's a simple formula that makes sports writers feel easy about their headlines - Will Hunting Apr 29, 05:43 2
  - No doubt. Halak stood on his head and stole that series. - Fuzzy (195 lbs) Apr 29, 05:45 1
    - Exactly. If we lost 4-3 the last 3 games were 1 good goaltending performance woulda won it; I'll go choke. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 05:48
- first time ever! -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 05:39
when it happens every time they make the playoffs. (plus Ovie at the Olympics...) -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 05:29 4
- They didn't play to their full potential and didn't take advantage of good opportunities (I think PP stats show that) - Guigue Apr 29, 05:31 3
  - Games 2-4 were high scoring. Caps didn't get it done, but let's be honest here; Halak stole the series for them. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 05:33 2
    - oh for sure. One of the best goalie series ever for a Hab...and that is saying something given their history -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 06:46
    - Oh no doubt about that -- nm - Guigue Apr 29, 05:35
i thought that the disallowed goal at the beginning of the 3rd was nonsense, but that was a fun game to watch - prayformojo Apr 29, 05:28 2
- Knuble wasn't playing the puck. He just appeared in front of Halak, in his zone, there even was contact before the puck was shot - Guigue Apr 29, 05:30
- I was thinking the ref who made that call better have a good exit strategy out of town. -- nm - HdnAgnda Apr 29, 05:30
