Capitals have the same type of roster. It's the coach.
They took their reclamation chances/projects with younger players that had actual upside and skating ability. They hit on just about all of them which is very lucky, but they at least had the right idea.

So honored we get to watch Kevin Hayes, though. What a glue guy.

Honestly I don't get what Sid is doing out there. Has age finally caught up to him? Is he trying to passive aggressively get Sullivan fired?

This is the worst hockey he's ever played and it's not even close. I would honestly take Mike Johnston Sid over the Sid I've seen this year

He’s 37 and his wingers are f***ing DOC and Rakell.

I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t retire during the 2nd intermission.

Sullivan is not going anywhere

Better put that in your brain, or you’ll be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Sullivan is going to turn this around, people, in the second period…he’s going to bench Puustinen…watch…

Anathasoiu hit waivers today. For a team that desperately needs speed, they won’t even look at him because the coach can’t work with him.

I mean yeah but Malkin also does fine with a similarly dogshit set of wingers. And Malkin is even older.

Sid's line is getting obliterated 5v5.

Hagens/McKenna/Dupont is gonna be a crazy core. Just hope Sullivan doesn't do too much damage to them before he leaves in 3 years

I really don't think it's a coincidence that Sid and Sullivan's contracts end at the time time. Forget about Napoleon Beanpot going anywhere

The team got down by two goals and gave up…what else is there to say…they know they can’t come back and the coach has a lot to do with that…it’s embarrassing for the organization at this point that he’s still employed

Sid is a complete non factor in transition anymore. His game has been trending in this direction for a long time but it's finally hitting a tipping point this year. Someone has to be able to carry the puck and he looks like he has zero interest in doing so anymore.
