Bad start, for sure, but it's only the 1st period.

And again, the fact that fucking Las Vegas with a team built from the ground up over the course of 1 season is likely making it to the finals and has a good chance to win it all in their first year, without many real stars, makes me even more salty.

Particularly because our fucking brain trust didn't protect Nate Schmidt who is going to be an all-star dman in this league for the foreseeable future. I could see that last year and I'm just a dipshit fan. How would it feel to have Forsberg and Schmidt. That's why this organization sucks.

LOL, Lil. This ain't your first rodeo. When you ride with the caps you are the rodeo clown.

I really wonder what Patrick's influence is on this team...

Well. . . What has changed since GMGM was fired and GMBetaMale was made GM?
The Caps have stayed the course that started 10yrs ago, and GMGM made a team of unknowns that are one win away from going to the finals. Add to the historic rumors like wanting to hire Cooper over Oates, Nylander deal etc, where GMGM had to go against what he advised (and these are just rumors), there is clearly another layer to investigate.
That leaves two people to be accountable: Ted and Patrick. Ted has stated he leaves “hockey decisions to hockey people”, it’s becoming clear that Patrick is the wrong hockey person
Devise:
Yeah I may be interested in seeing Boyd, Gersich and Walker next game. Seriously. Bench Backy and Connolly. I know that seems wild but we need a jump and urgency in our game.
Still lots of hockey to be played tonight, but if they play like they did in that 1st we aren't doing anything here this evening.
