It all comes down to this. The Dallar Stars have a chance to win their first Cup since Pantera was releasing new music. The Tampa Bay Lightning have a chance to win their first Cup since back when CO2 levels were under 400 parts per million. And Keith, who is a coin, must get the final right or else he’ll be below 50 percent.

The second round of the playoffs was a lot of fun, and not only because Ian went 0 for 4 in his predictions. Now the stakes get even higher, as we’ve got just two series to predict.

The Washington Capitals have been knocked out of the 2020 NHL playoffs in the first round by their old bench boss and his New York Islanders in only five games. The 4-0 defeat marks the second season in a row that the Caps haven’t at least seen the second round after seeing it in the prior four.
The Caps outshot the Isles 21 to 17 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 52 to 23.

The Washington Capitals have staved off utter humiliation with an effort that they should be proud of. The 3-2 victory ensures that this first-round series will at least have to go five games.
The Caps outshot the Isles 29 to 26 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 48 to 27.

Going down 3-0 in a playoff series is virtually the same thing as elimination. It’s incredibly unlikely that a team in the Washington Capitals’ situation would win four games in a row. And given how badly the Caps are playing, the most likely outcome right now is a 4-0 sweep.
But that description– losing four straight games to an inferior team led by your team’s former coach — still dramatically undersells the scale and the humiliation of this defeat.
The Washington Capitals of the 2020 postseason are a catastrophe.

The Isles outshot the Caps 34 to 23 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 58 to 43.

The Washington Capitals laid a big ole stinky egg in Game One of their first-round series against the New York Islanders and followed that up by laying just a slightly less stinky egg in Game Two. The Caps were pummeled by the Isles 5-2 and are now in a 2-0 series deficit.
The Caps were out-shot by the Isles 32 to 25 and out-attempted at five-on-five 45 to 43.

The fake playoffs are over. They were stupid, except for when Toronto was sad. Here now come the real playoffs. Let’s embed that one tweet.
why watch overtime playoff hockey when you can simply snort cocaine and ride a motorcycle out of a helicopter
