You have to take your hat off to the Wings. What a phenomenal organisation. FBHOF 25+ min #1 D retires, picked to bomb, they scratch and claw into the playoffs, win a round against the #2 seed, and...
Sucks hairy ballbags. I love the draft, can't miss the NHL playoffs and am perfectly happy with a long summer without a word about football, so I'd be perfectly happy to move it FORWARD, not back.
The non-bonus contract? I use it, and it's certainly always in my mind that I could. Having to eat money in a trade isn't good. Smart owners could account for potential movement down the line and be...
Like no DS for one very simple, but very important reason: it keeps things simple. Otherwise this is just yet another collection of rules and restrictions to keep on top of.
Dude, your blind homerism is wasted on someone who doesn't do the same thing for their team. You're right, the Caps do suck. They'll pretty easily finish ahead of Montreal next year as per usual (as...
Of course you'd want to believe they're awesome. But one objective look at the roster should tell you all you need to know. They're an OK team, no more or less. Unless Price is ****ting the bed like...
Of all the things you could whine about, you shouldn't focus on Oates. He's as classy a coach as there is in the league. Torts is a pile of **** and started that worthless war of wards. Oates...
Ronde Barber was a good player and he had a very nice career, but Hall of FAME? Not a flippin' chance. The guy was never the best player at his position. Frankly I'm not sure he was ever top 3 or...
Laich and Green? I dunno about that. Laich is a valuable, gritty, borderline heart-and-soul type. Green may finally be turning a corner given that he didn't suck defensively this playoffs, most of...
I guess it doesn't really matter to me much, but it's just symptomatic of this core. Mentally they're as weak as it gets. Obviously GMGM needs to go yesterday, and the core needs to change....
The Caps choked. There's no two ways about that. They had 2-0 and 3-2 series lead, and at many points looked like the better team. But they got SHUTOUT in back-to-back elimination games, the second...
Ovechkin choked. It's that simple. You can fault his 'effort' because he's paid over $9m to score and hit. He's not paid for defense or leadership. We know those aren't good. Yes he hit, but he not...
The Caps played like utter **** in the 2nd period, but that game was a sham. For the refs to say that the Rangers didn't commit a single penalty all game makes one wonder if they should be allowed to...
Big game tonight. I hope the Caps play like it's game 7 (well, not last year's game 7, mind you). They shouldn't want this series to come back, knowing that a fluky bounce, a bad call, something like...
Isles were much better (again) in that game, but unlike the Pens they don't have a backup who's better than the starter. If I'm their coach, I still bench Nabokov because he was absolutely brutal,...
Who wouldn't want to? If it's the Bruins so be it. A worse Caps team beat a better Bruins team last year, and without the home ice advantage they'd have this year. But there's no reason not to prefer...
