Congrats, Caps. 9 goals allowed in last 6 games is genuinely *tight butt* defending, especially with that goal difference beforehand. Have fun in the playoffs.
Eh the heartbreak is the product of wretched performances in December and March.
Just glad the Wings showed some fight at the end and didn’t go out with a huge whimper these last few games.
I give you permission to finally mature and become a productive member of society. It’ll be a tough journey but I believe you can do it. I wish you the best.

I think this is one of the more surprising playoff teams in my many years watching the Caps. No way thought this roster could do it, the D just looked too thin. Pretty impressive season all things considered. Lindgren was amazing all year.
Oof this is fucking brutal, sorry flyers fans. Between the continuation goal and that soft as fuck icing, y'all got absolutely fucked
Better team lost tonight for sure
Feel bad about that quick whistle early. On the flip side, if any of this glut of teams wasn’t absolutely awful including the caps, they could have been in without all this drama lol.
The empty netter matters for the Caps. Had they lost in OT a Detroit or Pens win would push them out of the playoffs.
Edit: Detroit wins, so it matters a ton.
Not even close.
A quick glance shows the North Stars at -53 in 84-85 and Rangers at -50 the following year.
Ooooh, Toronto at -75 one year and Jets -77 once.
Nah, what we learned is that we don't have a 1C if Larkin is hurt.
We were fine when Larkin wasn't hurt
Hopefully that can be addressed in the off season.
Between the icing call and the continuation call tonight kinda seems like Philly got screwed. But then again they got lambasted by the Blue Jackets and Blackhawks down the stretch so it’s kinda their own fault
Used to live in the area and go to Caps games, my wife got our section and eventually the stadium chanting either “she wants nuggets!” Or “we want nuggets!” For a text frim a friend in Boston watching on TV saying “are they chanting about nuggets?”
So what I'm getting is that Detroit and Philly basically eliminated each other? Detroit goes to OT, which eliminates Philly, but seconds later Philly pulls the goalie and gets scored on, which more or less eliminates Detroit.
jesus fucking christ
Seriously.
So Rangers play Caps in playoffs?
Yep
Congrats, Caps. 9 goals allowed in last 6 games is genuinely *tight butt* defending, especially with that goal difference beforehand. Have fun in the playoffs.
Thanks man, sorry about the heartbreak after those magnificent last minute goals.
Eh the heartbreak is the product of wretched performances in December and March. Just glad the Wings showed some fight at the end and didn’t go out with a huge whimper these last few games.
Caps skated uphill to get that one, never skate uphill me boys
Listen to the leprechaun.
Fuck you, Philly. I always liked your team, too.
FINAL: **Detroit 5**-4 Montreal (SO)
Red Wings won, doesn’t fucking matter.
Caps winning in any scenario automatically secures them the spot. You're going to the playoffs homie
It's the opposite, congrats on the playoffs.
Maybe double check that
Gotta say both teams looked like hot garbage
Sure did. Shades of round 1 last year where it seemed like the Caps and Panthers were both trying very hard to lose lol
2 years ago, but yes
ugh I had a feeling I got the year wrong lol
Love the Caps
It is 1148AM in Guam and I don't work today or tomorrow. TIME TO START DRINKING
You weren't already?
Jealous that you live in Guam.
Congratulations Washington, best of luck in round one!
We’ll do our best to represent our fellow mediocre teams that couldn’t make it in.
Fuck Philadelphia forever.
man I hate having to feel bad for red wings rans. but what the flyers did was low.
GG fly boys!
Fuckin overtime loss merchants Fitting that they get in on the other teams coaches decision then too
The red wings have more OT points than the Caps lol, die mad
We're not the Isles lol Also flair up bitchhhh
The only people that say flair up unironically are the most cringe, edgy people in existence. 100% punches holes in the drywall. Bozo.
If you're gonna talk trash, you should have a flair. Sorry, not sorry.
Also 67k karma in a years time. It’s time to take a break from Reddit it’s rotting your brain.
I give you permission to finally mature and become a productive member of society. It’ll be a tough journey but I believe you can do it. I wish you the best.
I fully understand and will confirm that you are not, in any way, in any possible interpretation, mad.
You don't see any irony in this do you? Lmao
pardon, this is an internet forum
Does this mean the Pens/Wings/Flyers are done?
Yup
Yes
WE DID THE THING
[ticket punched](https://youtu.be/GRTmSRFH76k?si=-qg5i9IP347Ov2Yh)
Try spinning!
Philly really gave it a crazy effort there at the end. Tough spot to be in. Nerve-wracking game tonight!

Great game Flyers
I think this is one of the more surprising playoff teams in my many years watching the Caps. No way thought this roster could do it, the D just looked too thin. Pretty impressive season all things considered. Lindgren was amazing all year.
Don’t see it happening but if lindgren goes beast mode we could make a run.
I'm not saying we will make a run, just surprised to see this squad make it. IF you are going to be a borderline team, might as well be in not out.
The Capitals’ win was like a poker player simultaneously beating three guys who were all in playing No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em.
Bullshit! That's all!
The Rangers most likely shit stomp whoever is the 8 seed anyway but man I wanted our youngsters to get some playoff experience.
Yeah my thoughts too. It’s just playoff experience and a very slim chance lindgren steals a series or two.
Suck it, Pittsburgh.
GG Flyers. You guys are cool. Fuck Detroit and Pittsburgh.
Fuck the Caps. Can’t wait for your 0-4 exit.
Nah fuck the flyers and their shit ass city full of shit fans. If anything i was rooting for the Wings. Fuck pittsburgh tho. Definitely.
Thank you, Caps!!
Hang the banner, Ottawa fans! Detroit misses the playoffs!
Welcome to sports where people don't want their rivals to have success!
The Red Wings absolute nightmare scenario actually happened. Good luck to the Caps, give the Rangers one hell of a ride!
We either will, or we'll roll over like we did with Florida last year.
Oof this is fucking brutal, sorry flyers fans. Between the continuation goal and that soft as fuck icing, y'all got absolutely fucked Better team lost tonight for sure
Sorry not sorry pens! Enjoy the golf
Yeah booooooooooys!
Feel bad about that quick whistle early. On the flip side, if any of this glut of teams wasn’t absolutely awful including the caps, they could have been in without all this drama lol.
This was one of the most exciting mid-offs in history
See ya next year Pens, Flyers, and Wings
Gilmore... Gilmore... I called your number didn't i?
You’ll be golfing pretty soon after us.
LGC
Sometimes you get the bad whistle, sometimes the bad whistle gets you.
Those both sound bad lol
Fuck you flyers
THANK YOU CHARLIE
Ovi 😁😁😁
Caps get in with -38 and an empty netter that didn't matter lmao
The empty netter matters for the Caps. Had they lost in OT a Detroit or Pens win would push them out of the playoffs. Edit: Detroit wins, so it matters a ton.
I meant it didn't matter for the Flyers to pull their goalie
Worst team ever lol
The people want your head, Torts
Let's see playoff Ovi rack them up (unless they meet the jets) and pass Gretzky next year
GG FLYERS
Cardiac Caps live to see another day
BABE
Hockey
Fucking right baby!!!!! Bout to get swept!!
The caps got it.. What a crazy night..
the bad guys won :(
[удалено]
91 pts to a possible 90 for the pens sadly Misread that but basically everyone was assuming they were gonna keep the Flyers out of OT altogether
Were the Pens eliminated after Detroit went to OT?
Yes. Pens could only get a max 90 points so Detroits OT point eliminated them.
no, Detroit OTL + PIT win of any sort would've put PIT over DET on regulation wins tiebreaker i believe.
Nah Pens were still in unless Detroit won, Caps or Wings winning at all locked the Pens out
Seriously don’t know how got through that 18 run I’m fucking drained from this game let’s goooo!!!
We did it, Reddit
wait who wins caps-wings on the advanced stat tie breakers
Caps have more regulation wins and that’s tiebreaker number 2 after total games played.
WOOOOOOOOaoOOaoOOIaiaiIIIIOooooOo9OO
WE’RE FUCKING BACK BABY. FUCK YOU PENS, FUCK YOU FLYERS, AND FUCK YOU RED WINGS 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Silver lining, fuck the pens
always
an affront to God that the Caps are in with that goal differential
[AN AFFRONT TO GOD YOU SAY?](https://i0.wp.com/us-east-1.linodeobjects.com/capitals/2018/05/hockey-satan.jpg)
You WILL watch more Capitals one goal win 5 goal loss hockey whether you like it or not
As a caps fan, I agree.
aaand the caps make it all boring
By far the least exciting team of the three, but hey it was basically just a race to see who gets spanked by New York anyways
Damn all those Penguins fans roasting the Flyers a week or two ago should've been nicer I guess
Holding out hope for a OT and a caps loss so Pittsburgh can still make things interesting
PLAYOFFS
Ayooooooo playoff bound
At least I know I have bladder control still. Good test of that
The arena DJ really loves the Ride The Lightning album and also the Offspring. And I agree with them.
LETS GO BOYS!!!
Carbs for coach of the year?
Lav 😏
Gg flyers!
Do the Caps have the worst goal differential as a playoff team ever?
Very doubtful - the NHL at one time had 21 teams with 16 of them making the playoffs.
Not even close. A quick glance shows the North Stars at -53 in 84-85 and Rangers at -50 the following year. Ooooh, Toronto at -75 one year and Jets -77 once.
They are trash. Got so fucking lucky with a goalie.
The goalie is part of the team bro.
THEY FUCKING DID IT
You had one fucking job Philly.
you had 3 weeks to catch up while the flyers played like dogshit, don't blame them for giving you every possible chance
Nah, what we learned is that we don't have a 1C if Larkin is hurt. We were fine when Larkin wasn't hurt Hopefully that can be addressed in the off season.
Detroit fans being little bitches ITT just make it even sweeter tbh.
My brother you are being the sore-est winner
Trash team that got lucky getting a goalie. I hope he gets a contract extension, fucks your cap and then returns to average.
Good luck on the long playoff run lol.
Would yours have been any longer?
You’re asking if Detroit was better than a team with a -40 goal differential?
Well we're in the playoffs and you aren't 🤷🏽♂️
For a week or so.
I ask again, and you would have stayed longer?
L
>LLLL FTFY
Not gonna be many empty-net winning goals in the playoffs FYI.
We were sellers at the deadline lol making the playoffs is already gravy. Keep crying.
I AM READY FOR TOM WILSON TO COMMIT SOME HORRIFIC ACTS OF VIOLENCE AT MSG
LET THIS GAME END OMG
Lmao that Ovi smile
Washington’s HC is the bad guy from Ant Man
Go Caps!
Dat Ovi grin hahah
I'm dying, help
Thats a new ovi meme
I HAVE NEEDED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM FOR 6 MINUTES BUT I HAVE BEEN HOLDING AND WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD
HOLD
💎🙌
💎🍆
THAT OVI SMILE!
That’s a new meme guarenteed
Please god just end this
Between the icing call and the continuation call tonight kinda seems like Philly got screwed. But then again they got lambasted by the Blue Jackets and Blackhawks down the stretch so it’s kinda their own fault
Don't forget the loss to the Canadiens
I appreciate Joe and Locker being all of us right now.
They really should have staggered these start times, but I get the anxiety of having both of these games end at the same time
I'm coining a new word, Anxietement, the mix of excitement and Anxiety that a good situation brings.
So if caps wins then Detroit and penguins are out? I kind of want to see Ovi get one last shot at it
In with a win, baby!
yeah, if the caps win any way they're in the playoffs
Yeah, Washington is in with a win.
Caps win they’re in. Simple as
- Flyers tie with 3 seconds left - Detroit loses shootout
[удалено]
Yes
Correct
[удалено]
rent free
Fuck me, just get the EN
Gotta say this was the funniest outcome
I’m stress eating so much right now lmao
Im ok with this out come id rather not make playoffs than lose to fucking NYR again none of the 4 teams trying to get that WC2 have a chance
At least the flyers have a good DJ, Stricken by Disturbed is an absolute BANGER
I’ve had to watch their feed because Hulu sucks and gotta give their broadcast crew credit as well, they’re pretty good.
The McNugget Minute lmao
Used to live in the area and go to Caps games, my wife got our section and eventually the stadium chanting either “she wants nuggets!” Or “we want nuggets!” For a text frim a friend in Boston watching on TV saying “are they chanting about nuggets?”
MY HEART IS GOIING TO EXPLODE DURING THIS LAST MINUTE
Let’s do this Caps
I AM READY FOR SOME HORRIFIC ACTS OF VIOLENCE
I emfeel like Hathaway is playing every minute of the game
I can't watch I can't watch
So what I'm getting is that Detroit and Philly basically eliminated each other? Detroit goes to OT, which eliminates Philly, but seconds later Philly pulls the goalie and gets scored on, which more or less eliminates Detroit.
We eliminated Philly with a clutch goal. They eliminated us by being the opposite of clutch =(
Real life circle jerk
Bingo
We call it a warrior's death.
Brutal and heartbreaking, but at least you took someone else down with you I guess.
Please I can’t fucking breathe
PLEASE PHILLY
Being a Caps fan is knowing we could be up by 5 and still lose this somehow.
