Actually no, the entire project ended in December and they cut EVERYONE.

But I am enjoying the severance package and being a lazy wiener.

Ah... I was trying to pull a negative Pitt stat out of that, assuming spite or snark from ya.

Lightning are almost a coin flip if you ask me... don't know which team of theirs is gonna show up.

I guess just the potential that we know is there is what I'm thinking about. Let's be honest, though - if the Caps make the ECF against Tampa or anybody, I'll be pretty relieved/pleased.

So Kessel can't crack team USA but Oshie can?

I am usually spitefully snarky.

Not at all rubbing it in, but it is amazing how many times the Caps were up 3-1 and lost the series. You guys are bound to repay the crap you've received.

Bad defense, and questionable goaltending. And the "good PK beats good PP" stat that for some reason holds true in nearly all SC winners the last two decades ~_~.


But they have good goaltending now, so lets not go down 3-1 if it happens.

2009 was the worst, though (not up 3-1, but 2-0). Having a mediocre Carolina team waiting in the ECF is just painful to think about.

There's a reason why Caps fans dislike the Pens. and the Isles. and the Rags now.

Ah poop, I've been away for a bit and missed that. Glad you're enjoying the severance, maybe the Rev can send you some scotch.

I didn't broadcast being layed off XD, but if my email is not lieing, I might have secured a job offer an hour ago. Waiting on the paperwork.


edit: i now can no longer trust a verbal "you got the job" . place last week burned me... claimed a budgeting mixup on my pay and tried to last minute slash me 12 grand. Told them to (frank) off.

The ineptitude that the team they root for seems to exhibit in the NHL postseason?

I'm sure y'all have played the "what if" game a thousand times in regards to Fleurys save on OV. That was the game.

Good to hear

I just don't think the feeling is as mutual with Pens fans anymore. Caps make me nervous against pretty much anyone in the playoffs now. I've seen them collapse so many times when they were ahead in a series...

Isn't Google undergoing a class action lawsuit for this poop?

They apparently bring consultants on for projects, dangle a full time offer in front of them as incentive for them to work long, unpaid overtime, and then release them at the end of the project anyway?

Have you ever heard of anyone getting a dime from those lawsuits?

And no, I knew going into this one it was 6 to 24 months. I don't believe I apply to it.

Yeah, I think they were destined to lose that game anyway with the way Varlamov looked/played.

Oh I know. Hoping we turn a corner before the playoffs start but im not exactly enthusiastic about our chances.
