GAME 7 BOYS

[Judai]

Can this team please show up to Game 7?

[Xno Kappa]

[Judai]

So I have a dilemma and I need my hockey bros opinions...

I was hoping the Caps would make the SCF, and then go to games 5/6/7 (if necessary obviously). I would need to take or basically switch off a weeks worth of shifts. I only have 32~ hours of PTO. I work Wednesday 7p-7a. Do I book off Wednesday? Do I save my PTO in case they win? I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

Edit: Basically, If I book off Wednesday, it'll still be possible to do the 5/6/7 but itll be harder

What a game by the Caps! Jeez. That was EPIC! That was the best game played by a team in the playoffs this year hands down.

ONE GAME AT A TIME MOTHERFUCKER. If you book off 5/6/7 now, they will lose G7 or swept in the Cup, it's the law of jinxes.

Seriously idk but Game 7 is the only surefire game, I would probably try to watch it, because you can book off whatever you want to celebrate the Cup later.

[Cail]

Oh no, I havent taken any time off yet. I told myself at the start of the series I'd try to do that if they beat TB.

I'm debating booking off this Wednesday for TB Game 7 or saving my PTO for the possibility of SCF.

[synistar]

Can't you go negative PTO? This is one of those times to go into PTO debt. Also you're willing to go to Vegas twice eh? Fuck it yolo that trip but I'm just enabling you to make an impulsive decision.

[Mythe_Seraph]

I was in a similar situation. We pulled the trigger and it ended up being the 3OT game in Anaheim. I mean. It was already shaping up to be (and still was imo) the best playoff series of the decade.

[Cail]

I highly doubt I can go negative PTO. This company is fucking lame lol...

Also, related:

NBCSN just showed the SCF schedule:

Gm1: Monday May 28 (NBC)
Gm2: Wednesday May 30 (NBCSN)
Gm3: Saturday June 2 (NBCSN)
Gm4: Monday June 4 (NBC)
Gm5: Thursday June 7 (NBC)
Gm6: Sunday June 10 (NBC)
Gm7: Wednesday June 13 (NBC)

Fuck those 2 day in-betweens.....fucking NBC/NHL

[Cail]

With that schedule, I work tues/wed/thu/fri night (fri is evening)...

Maybe try for Gm4/6/7. Maybe even Game 3. I haven't gone on vacation in years so I have the $

[synistar]

Do game 5 in Vegas, party on Friday and take a red-eye out, party more on Saturday until the game on Sunday in DC, then save a day for the parade if applicable.

[Obsidian]

I'd take the Wednesday off, that's the only game you're currently guaranteed. You can figure out the rest later if necessary.

Goddamnit Washington. Stop filling me with a sense of hope. I had all but given up on anything nice coming from these playoffs

Welcome to Washington DC sports fandom.

Bolts shit the bed last night and Washington fought for their lives and dominated nearly every facet of the game.
Hoped Tampa learned their lesson in 2016 when they went up 3-2 against the Pens...

Game 7 gonna be amazing though.

If the Caps do win Game 7 please make sure all of your fans never again ask Backstrom or any other player to sign a fucking broom 2 games into a series lol
