Besides Blake messing up, so did the coaching as well. They did a poor job finding how to utilize PLD's skill set. The Caps did their homework very well(they had players and a coach PLD was familiar with), and that is why he's having success with them. TMac/Hiller both have similar coaching issues. They force their system on the roster(the system kills offense, hence one of the reasons why the Kings have challenges scoring goals), neither coach was a players type coach(something I feel this roster needs). It's been the same broken record since Lombardi/Sutter left.
He's having his average career year, 60 points for an 8 million dollar player is NOT HAVING SUCCESS. But f*** man, get over it, get his number, go f*** him and be done with it already.....
He played like shit here, he had glimpses of what he can do, but he's uninspiried, lazy f***, leaving everyone he plays for wanting more. But you are right, CBS, WPG, and LA all have it wrong, WSH is the saviour team.....yep, that's it.
