Seriously. I wouldnt let him in the building to watch a game let alone to play.

That's it. For me this feels like it finishes the book on the "Rock The Red" era of the Caps. It's over.
For all the flak SJ got the last several years, they at least saw the Finals and WCF. To be as annually good as the Caps have been in the regular season and not making it past the second round in 8 years sure is something.
What is even wrong with them? This transcends coaches, GMs, they've had a laundry list of players.

as good as Ovechkin is, Washington is going to have a hard time unloading that contract. They could trade Backstom I guess, but that leaves a massive hole down the middle. Unless they make a hockey trade.

If they put Backstrom on market they will get plenty of calls
Teams are always looking for #1 centers
Just look at interest in Duchene before he fell apart this year and he isn't even half the player Backstrom is

nah, he's right.
I'm pretty sure 20 of us forum posters could lace em up and give the Caps hell with Sullivan behind the bench. They continue to get average NHLers and no-name AHLers to come up and make a significant impact when it matters. They did all of this without their best defenseman and goalie. It's disappointing but I don't see the Sens, Ducks, or Oilers beating them. Lavy is our only hope
And I agree with Washington...I wonder what they'll do this offseason.

Watching that Caps game, i felt like i was watching the Flyers.
Great scoring chance? Better pass it.
We're going up against a historically un-clutch playoff goalie? Time to make him look like prime Hasek.
Oh ****, 5 minutes left and we're down 2? We gotta amp up the chip-and-chase strategy! And don't forget, we can't pull our goalie until there's just over a minute left!
What a waste of ****ing time. At least it wasn't actually the Flyers losing there.

He's not the one they are going to want to get rid of though. Only way I see anyone taking Ovie though is if it's Florida or Arizona where they are desperate to sell tickets and want an attraction

I hate this team
Sportsnet earlier were saying there were about 1000 seat still unsold.
Great start for Oliers!

With Tallon back in charge the Panthers aren't going to gut roster to get Ovy
And Backstrom deserves as much blame as Ovechkin for years of failures in playoffs
Three times the Caps have won the Presidents trophy in recent years and they failed to get past 2nd round

You don't do that with the puck though. No reason to put the puck right in front of your goal tender.
