So the conventional thought process coming into the season was teams needed 54 points or so to make the playoffs. (92 in 82games, 54 in 48games)
By that logic, Caps would need 33 points in their last 25 games. Do we really see this flawed team doing that?
14-6-5 would get 33pts. Think about that.
This team can only lose 6 or so more games this year in regulation to make the playoffs. If its 55 or 56 points to get there, then that becomes even harder.
Season is over guys.
Leonsis will come out and say "We are obviously very disappointed, as we expected to make a long run in the playoffs. The Lock Out was especially damaging for us, as we didnt get a chance to gel and learn the new systems. George and I were just talking about that....we really didnt have a chance this year. I now expect us to play competitive, playoff style hockey the rest of the way, and we will have good momentum for next season. At least, that's what George thinks should happen"
Blah Blah Blah.
Even the most rose coloured Pollyanna's cant think the Caps can make the playoffs. Caps dont have an RG3 on the roster to spark a remarkable resurrection.
And YES mods, the end of the season does deserve its own thread.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO from the Left Coast.
