He's in a tie for 4th right now with Lavy for me but on track to pass him and Oates this yearCarbs is the 2nd best coach of the Ovy era, imho.

Either that or it’s a reality check to put the work in over the offseason.If he has only 20, the record ain’t happening unfortunately. Needs to have 25+ at least to have a chance.
And only game tomorrow is Caps-Flyers. IIIFFFF we can take two more points again tomorrow, we are in a top position.So Caps are 5th in the league in points percentage right now.
Obviously pending other results tonight.
Yeah, the DC Metro food scene is deep. I think it's top 5ish in the country. The District proper is limited compared to other International cities only because of its size handicap.It's easily a vegan combo from an Ethiopian place for me as the standout local fare. DMV is a very underrated food area ... yes no nationally known staple akin to a cheesesteak but pretty great options at every different price point and vibe for almost any cuisine.
Always feels good to beat Philly, another great performance and win
4th… what do you have on dance card:He's in a tie for 4th right now with Lavy for me but on track to pass him and Oates this year

You think he’s going to retire before he gets the record? Close to zero chance I see that happening.Not worried about Ovi. He hasn’t been given many good looks and he’s known to be streaky. He could go on a 20 goal in 30 games stretch and chip away at the record. He’s got 150+ games left to score 40 goals.
NHL game is a grind. He needed to mature physically and improve skating…he’s done that, now reaping rewards.I always thought CMM would be good. Couldn't figure out why he was struggling the past few years. Glad it seems like he's finally found it.
I want you to put the word out there that we back up.
Lavi gets moved down a bit. He did not get away from McCarthy soon enough and it hurt our team because of it.4th… what do you have on dance card:
1. Trotz - won cup so ok. Not sure he was that great
2. Carbs - he did the impossible and got caps in playoffs last year. Trending well. Still more impact than others and this will trend up
3. Lavi - I liked Lavi as the choice. It did not go well.
4. Bruce - lots of offense there. Maybe I would have him at 3.
He is not going to change his prep routine after 20 seasons. He’ll continue drinking sodas and eating cheetos too. I believe that Ovi will still put an earnest effort, but if he fails to break the record, I don’t think that he would be overly disappointed. His fans will be though.Either that or it’s a reality check to put the work in over the offseason.
PLD is buying into the system and that is what is important for an offensive skilled player like him that is not regarded being good at back-checking. The points will come. His cap hit will hit will blind some ppl see how fairly good he's fitting in.PLD has been totally fine so far
Don’t look at points and goals at this point, when he’s on the ice, the offense is creating chances and he’s been creating some strong plays with his body
Give Chych the 8 x 8.Chychrun was such a brilliant pick-up. Have to lock him up no question.
Seems kind of clear to me that the weakest links at this stage are Sandin and Lapierre.
Solid road effort. The PP needs to get going again, mostly executing faster, shooting and crashing for rebounds.
I’m not a lavy hater, but his time with the caps didn’t line up well with the roster composition.. he just didn’t provide much value to the ovie era. I got 1) trotz for the cup. 2) Bruce for the years of run and gun offense. Then everyone else. Carbs is going to be really good, just need more time from him to to cement it. He’s got great philosophy m, strategy, command of the team. Personable. Really like him.4th… what do you have on dance card:

Hell yeahOvie really misses Backstrom's as a centre hope Alexander scores 50-60 goals this season...The best of Luck to the Grate Eight
1 and 2 are Trotz and Boudreau for me and they're both pretty interchangeable. Trotz coming in in 2014 was exactly what that group needed and while he had a stacked roster he got them results (and obviously won a cup ...), Boudreau is maybe the most underrated coach in NHL history and while he had some pretty notable playoff shortcomings he won two presidents trophies playing completely different brands of hockey with a defense corps that was uhh ... not the best.4th… what do you have on dance card:

I’ve seen many players in these parts get “resets” after a smaller sample size (cough, thanks Lavi) I don’t think it’s a crazy idea to have him sit a few games upstairs to watch and mentally reset.Certainly sounds like you’re super patient!
