Sidney Crosby has faced the Washington Capitals three times in the playoffs. All three times the Pittsburgh captain has led his team to
victory. And all three times the Penguins used the win as the springboard to a
raucous mid-June parade with the Stanley Cup in tow.
Still Authentic Rick Leonard Jersey , Crosby sounded like a cautious investor on Tuesday when asked if Pittsburgh has a mental advantage over rival Alexander
Ovechkin and the Capitals heading into yet another postseason showdown in the
Eastern Conference semifinals starting later this week.
Past performance, the two-time MVP stressed, does not guarantee future results.
”I think it depends on what you do in the series and how you play,” Crosby said. ”I don’t think it plays a huge role. I guess to answer your question,
no.”
A mantra Crosby’s teammates repeated over and over they prepared for yet another showdown in a rivalry that somehow manages to be both compelling and
one-sided. Pittsburgh is 9-1 all-time in the postseason against Washington
regardless of who is in the black-and-gold sweaters and who is in red, white and
blue.
Not that Ovechkin is intimidated. The Capitals star said he “can’t wait” to get another shot at the Penguins after spearheading Washington’s first-round win
over Columbus in six games. That’s fine by Pittsburgh Cheap Taron Johnson Jersey , which has played Lucy to Washington’s Charlie Brown for more than a quarter century, dangling a potentially deep
playoff run in front of the Capitals only to pull it back at the last
minute.
The Penguins, however, remain wary. Just because they always beat Washington doesn’t mean they’re going to always beat Washington. The teams split their four
meetings during the regular season, with the Capitals wrapping up their third
straight Metropolitan Division title with a 3-1 win in Pittsburgh on April
Fool’s Day.
Of course, none of it matters once the puck drops in Game 1.
”It’s a new year Cheap Mike White Jersey ,” Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang said. ”The series is going to play out differently. The game is going to be won
differently. You don’t know how it is going to go. The only thing I know is it’s
a good rivalry, two really good teams, two teams that have a lot of punch
offensively. It’s going to be fun to be a part of.”
Particularly for Letang. He missed all of Pittsburgh’s run to a second straight Stanley Cup last spring while recovering from neck surgery, though he
was able to make his way to the arena for Game 7 of the conference semifinals,
when Marc-Andre Fleury stopped all 29 shots he faced and the Penguins escaped
with a 2-0 victory to finish a series in which both teams scored 20 goals and
won on opposing ice at least twice.
Though there are a handful of new faces on both sides, the principals remain the same. Ovechkin and Crosby. Evgeni Malkin and Nicklas Backstrom. Letang and
Braden Holtby. Two weeks of taut Authentic Shaquem Griffin Jersey , tense hockey in the offing.
”I think it’s the same old dangerous team,” Letang said. ”Like, don’t get me wrong, those series went the distance, they went to overtime. It was a tough
matchup that could have gone either way. They cause the same problems to our
team. They cause problems on the power play. They have a lot of skill. They make
a lot of plays.”
Yet the Penguins have always found a way to make at least one more, though they may be at less than 100 percent when things get going. Malkin and forward
Carl Hagelin both missed practice on Tuesday. Malkin is dealing with a
lower-body injury while Hagelin has an upper-body issue after colliding with
Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux in Pittsburgh’s clinching victory over the Flyers
in Game 6.
That could provide more playing time for players like Riley Sheahan – who filled in capably on the second line for Malkin in Game 6 – and rookie Zach
Aston-Reese. The 23-year-old was in high school the first time Crosby and
Ovechkin met in the playoffs in 2009 – when the Penguins blitzed the Capitals in
Game 7 of the conference semifinals on their way to the Cup.
This time Ender Inciarte Jersey , Aston-Reese’s view will be markedly different. He noticed an uptick in intensity from the regular season when the Penguins fended
off the Flyers. Now, the dial goes up to 11 and stays there.
”I expect every game to be almost like a Game 7,” Aston-Reese said.
That’s because it almost always is.
