Thanks?

I mean if you want me to dig for quotes where Doughty talks about the lack of competitiveness of the team vs. his efforts vs. how he feels about being left off team Canada I could but I figured it was pretty common knowledge.

Doughty didn't play like Doughty for 2019, large part of 2020. We all know what he can do when motivated, and we saw it at the start of this season.

McDavid has led the world in scoring for 4 years.

Ovechkin has had a monster surge in his late 30s establishing himself as the GOAT goal scorer and insanely capable of breaking Gretzkys record.

Hedman is widely renowned as the current best d-man in the world.

All I'm saying is those were maybe the three worst picks to pick Olympic quotes from as they've largely been the best players in the world since the last Olympics. Didn't think that would be contentious.

That's some revisionist bullshit. Yeah, there was conflict between the team and management, neither side was perfect there, but give me a f***ing break about laying the post-2014 team performance at the feet of Brown's leadership... I would even defend Kopitar at that point.

Its exactly what happened. Brown simply never was a leader. They tried, didn't get anywhere, then realized in order to get over the hump they had to bring in players who aren't just good role models, but know how to instill accountability to the room.

Once they left the team reverted right back to the soft, easy nice team that couldn't rise to occasions as needed. It was easy to take the C from Brown, he wasn't using it anyway. It was presented to Anze in the same way it was given to Brown - not as a reward for having earned it, but as something to try and live up to.

Let's not forget that Dustin Brown was badly outplayed by Dwight effing King for four straight years when we are ignoring reality.
 
What is frustrating about all of this for me is they can't put the stinking puck in the NET!!!!!!!!! That is what all these draft picks are supposed to be doing this, but we just don't see it at the NHL. You tack on the fact we have not grit or fight on top of that? Jeez louise! Unwatchable!

I can live with out one or the other....BUT NOT BOTH!

Rob better hope some of those kids and his free agents start putting pucks in the net or he can start cleaning up that resume, because they sure ain't going to box their way to competitiveness!

Not really, the point is "own agenda" not current skill level. They all want to play in the Olympics. Jeez dude, the fan panic is out of control.
But yeah, you're right. The three of them have 3 cups and Drew just 2.

But Brown has been a top scorer on the team for the last several, so how is all this his fault? lol

Dustin did earn the C, and no, Dwight King was not a better player.
