 :clown:  show. Our skills guys are so mid it's not funny. Not that it'd matter. LT and Chuck are also a mess in a SO.

Two shootout trends.


First, the Blackhawks went glove side on LT on every shot.


Second, the Caps guys almost always swing wide and try and stickhandle and often end up on a failed backhand. Milano came in with speed down the middle. Maybe something they should try more.  Dissapointed in Chicky. He should just come in quick and shoot from 10 feat. He has deadly aim - use it!


Finally, Ovi just sat on the bench the whole OT and no shootout - which was good, but I bet he is ticked.

What's Ovi had, 1 goal in a month? He's pretty useless at the moment. Hopefully he gets pissed off or in shape or whatever it is, by the time the Olympics are over. Can't see any reason for another season, if this is all he has left in the tank. And the team seems to (still) go as he goes. They need to figure out how to compete w/o Ovechkin, sooner than later.
