The Capitals-Penguins rivalry has always been good in the fact the teams don't like each other and the games have been competitive. But the Penguins have won most of the Playoff Series.
Washington doesnt even deserve a hockey team. The Pens beat the shit out of them every spring anyway. The Caps are a nice little warm up to the real playoffs.
A guy in the DC area I used to work with said "the refs gave this series to Pittsburgh." I then sent him this video link and said, "As you can plainly see, the refs forced Iafrate to try and go coast-to-coast, then forced him to turn it over to Joe Mullen, then aided the head pass to Ronnie Francis to send him and Stevens on the two on one. Yep, it was the officials that won that game."
I agree, Caps fans are morons. They had a 2-0 lead in the series and they bitched about the refs? Nothing but whining instead of winning in DC. That's why we have 3 cups and Washington has . . . JACK SQUAT!!! Stevens was the man back in the day, one of the true original power forwards, great hands for a big guy.

i know kevin his son luke is best friends with my twin brother and im a girl his son is one of my bffs too and i cant give out information or where he lives so dont ask me i know where the stevens family lives they live right near us but im not telling you!
Earlier that year in a similar rush Francis faked the shot and passed to Stevens, but Stevens was expecting the shot and missed the pass. After the play Francis told Stevens if they were ever in a same sitution he would fake the shot and told Stevens to be ready. Worked to perfection when it really mattered.
As a Capitals fan, I remember this play well. Specifically, Al Iafrate thinking offense, and no Caps forward filling his vacancy. Still great to see the retro uniform.
The Capitals unveiled them last month and, while they are not as good as the original uniforms, they are a huge improvement over the most recent uniforms.
Find a way. That's the coolest/sickest sports injury ever. They had to peel his face off to reset all the bones... if only TLC's Surgery Channel was around back then... damn.
Oh my, I remember that. Kevin Stevens said it was like when you "step on a potato chip", and doctors had to figure out a way to fix his face. OUCH!!!!!
When Elvis used to do live shows, the announcement "Elvis has just left the building" over the arena PA was the cue for the crowd to leave--otherwise they would've stuck around for one encore after another!
Funny how most of the "pens" fans in here are band wagoners. Where were you guys when you were on the verge of going bankrupt, lol.

Whining about the refs is the domain of losers. In a seven game series the better team almost always wins.

Great feed from Francis against the grain and than a great snipe out from Stevens.

Joey Mullen with the saucer pass to Francis, not to leave our Murphy and Coffey on the back end. What a line.

He actually moved to the radio side after the TV station fired him. You can still hear him on Pens radio broadcasts.

That's the great Mike Lange, commentator for the Penguins. He said, "Elvis has just left the building." It was a catchphrase of his. One of many.
JBird30761 4 years ago
It's older than Lange (who's one of the very best commentators in Sports)... it means the crowd should go home, because Elvis has left the building.

It's one of the many Lange-isms. He has all kinds of good ones. "Beat him like a rented mule." "Smilin like a butcher's dog." And about 50 more.
