He will go down as the best all around defenseman to ever play for the caps. I would vote yes on #74 in the rafters, but he is under appreciated for some reason

The 32Thoughts guys did their own lineups for the 4 Nations before the rosters were announced, and had David Amber on to do one too. All 3 of them picked Carly for team USA, but Amber a had a rant about how underrated JC74 is, said he has had a HOF career. Was nice to hear him get some respect from the Canadian media.

Then of course team USA passed him over. :mad:

Just like the mood in the room above, how spoilt are we now

Last year, we would have hoped to beat Buffalo, now we expect to beat Buffalo

This game seemed like it was never in doubt ... even when we were down 1, at 2-2 ... I was never worried, and the game was a bit of a snoozer tbh

We march on !

Somebody said something about playing down to the opponent today but I see a subtle difference that I think matters a lot.

In some of the powerhouse years they would come out, start slow, and then maybe take over on skill or otherwise lose. It wasn't "bad games" so much as just not taking the every day seriously. This year, outside of maybe two games, it's not been that they came out flat and didn't care, they've actually just had weird bad games or been contained by the other team.

We can say they played down because it was a close game but I didn't see a lack of effort, I saw a bunch of weird bounces and guys trying not to run into each other. Being out of sync is much better than being out of focus, and that's why they keep winning.
