Apparently, there are squirrels on the track at Dover.

So for a season review:


Carbury - not bad, the team seemed to play for him at times. He has been dealt a bad hand though.


Ovi - really just an awful year despite getting 30 goals.  Not sure how many 5 on 5 goals he had and for 2/3rds of the games he pretty much just half-heartedly skated around. He will keep chasing the record and it's going to be hard to watch.


Carlson - have to say he had a pretty decent year but he still made plenty of boneheaded mistakes.


McMike - seemed to take one step forward, then one back, but overall improved a fair amount.


Lappy - might be our best shot at a future top 6 guy.


Protos - regressed a lot after his contract signing. Hopefully they can get him playing with more fire.


Oshie - totally done and should retire but he will come back for the money - can't blame him for that.


Malenstyn - a very pleasant surprise. Hope they sign him long term.


Fehervary - our best dman, he had a pretty decent year with more improvement to come.


Willy - not great this year and wasn't skating that well - that knee injury might be a long-term issue.


Jensen - thought he had a pretty good year and has some speed which we desperately need.


Sandin - jury is still out, although his small size will continue to be a problem - especially in the playoffs.


Overall, we are obviously an old, slow team that isn't physical anymore and doesn't have any real star players.

Yeah Darrell was a true Redskin back in the heyday.
I remember the Superbowl vs Broncos where we were getting killed in the 1st half, then they had Darrell return a kickoff (or a punt?) and he ran it back for a TD...we made big comeback and won it.
Ahh...the good ole days.  Hell I'm old - I can remember when the Caps were good too  :raspberry:

He was one of those coaches (to me anyway) that when you first saw him, you just said, nah.  :rofl:

Best race of the year, there in Kansas. Probably the decade. Bummer Larson pulled it out.

Glad to see Vegas lose last night, even though I do like their coach Cassidy.  Watching them...they looked better than Dallas.  The previous game I watched and thought....damn, Vegas is GOOD.
I would have preferred Toronto to win over Boston.
Glad to see the Oiler advance.  Their offense runs like a very "well Oiled" machine.  Watching them on the PP is just scary.  I'm rooting for the Oilers to win the Cup
All these teams are on another level compared to Caps..even in the first round.

Damn Rags got 2 PPG and all 4 goals scored on odd man rushes.  Carolina D got to tighten up - not like them.
I didn't see the game, just the condensed highlights version, but FFS...how many PPG Rags gonna get in these playoffs?

Go Oilers
Go Avs
Go Panthers
Go....well nobody in the east i really want to see win, so Go WHOEVER is playing vs the Rags
