Stop buying the media hype. Trotz is not the fucking problem. You could put anyone in that bench and see what they say and it won't change the mentality. It's the core that needs to say something.


I didn't say he was the problem but I don't see him as the solution.  It's not like his playoff record is so stellar to use your word.  I think there are lots of coaches who are better able to motivate.  I agree that the players are the players but a little fire under their asses wouldn't hurt.

I think your misunderstanding what I'm saying.


Trotz is a fire under your asses type of coach. Did you see him Coach in Nashville? He is known for yelling and letting players hear it when they are bad. I don't think you understand that zero coaches change this. Not just because of the players. Because our coach is NOT ALLOWED to yell at our players. Ovechkin has a shield on him, the last coach to give Ovechkin a hard time left the NHL entirely after disputes with the player. Remember when Bruce got hard on Ovie? Let go.


Management and Ownership have chosen to protect Ovechkins pysche over allowing coaches the freedom to do what they wanted. I promise you, if Trotz could yell at Ovechkin he would. He isn't allowed to.

and there is a good example of the problem with Carlson, he is big enough to not be ridden off the puck like that

Is it bad when your captain looks like the rookie in OT at home of a game 5 playoff game?  :wackysmile:

Like why even ice Ovechkin there? Man. Watching him just stand at the circle, and then literally skate in circles as he plays loose zone defense and doesn't battle for the puck at all. Just looks for quick deflects out. Board battle PLEASE. Even in your own end. THE GAME IS ON THE LINE, THE SERIES IS ON THE LINE. Ugh. I'm just so sick of seeing this shit. Every single player should be held accountable for every single shift they have. That is how it works. That is how you get it done in the playoffs.


Also Alta, your totally right. That is my issue with Carlson mostly is that he has a tendency to get out worked the moment you put the puck in his feet and start to battle for it. He falls more than he should, he may not be Mike Green levels and he can still shoot the puck/play offensively even if he gets hit. But we need more players willing to go to the dirty areas, and with the skills to succeed in them.


The loss of Joel Ward honestly was one of the biggest losses to this club. He was literally the definition of the exact type of player this team needs more of in spades.

How can we play so badly in the 3rd and then so well in OT?  It's so confusing. I'm happy but so fucking confused by this team!

last few minutes I had it on the radio, bout a 30 second delay. I'm neither excited nor disappointed. I'm not really looking forward to the Caps winning this series, they don't have the talent to win round two. It might be a good contest if this squad had some juevos, but alas, too few of them do to make a difference

That sure shows how hockey is a game of ebbs and flows, pushes and push back.
Glad our boys weathered the storm and came out on top. :thumbsup:

   Our problem isn't talent. Our problem is the rest of our game. Poor decision making, lack of effort and heart and not enough physical play.

Edzo thinks Carly should have been considered for the Norris.  Thinking the Jersey boy might be going to Jersey.
