This will absolutely be the most difficult playoffs in Caps history. We should expect each team to play their best, each coach to come up with new schemes and new strategies, the likes of which we haven’t faced before. But most of all NO ONE, will be looking past us and just waiting for us to loose.
“Talent” and last year will not be enough

Yep. I'm not holding my breath this year. WAY TOO MANY IF's. And you're right, hell, all the teams will be out for our blood. I'm would not be surprised at any of the teams beating us, but I also would not be surprised to see us beat anyone else (except Tampa) I mean we CAN be Tampa but I don't think we will (if we got the chance)
IF the caps show up. IF Holtby is Hot. IF Ovi wants it enough. IF KUZY wakes the hell up. IF Backy shows up for the playoffs. IF our D play at their best and our team D excels. IF Willy doesn't get another mystery suspension, IF Reirdon can actually coach and handle the playoffs, IF the opponent doesn't get the bounces. I mean, we got lucky last year and all these things fell into place and went our way, and we barely scraped by. It was great, and I loved every minute, but I'm really not expecting it to happen again this year.
I just hope it aint Shitsburg that tosses us. I hate losing to those whiney diving faggots. I don't mind getting beat (well, I do, but....) by a hard hitting, hard playing team with superior talent and coaching that is just better. I do hate getting beat by fucking diving, whiny cry-baby type hockey players. The NHL REALLY needs to start calling the dive penalties. It ain't a fucking soccer match.
The coaching is a problem. It not a knock on Reirdon (okay, I guess it is) to say ALL the other teams we could face in the playoffs have better coaching. I don't think that is unfair to say. I can appreciate that Uncle Ted and the brain trust are very loyal an that TR did deserve an opportunity at some point, but why didn't we go after Babcock when he was available? He is coach of ELITE status. They don't come around that often. Was he already signed by the time we were done in SC last year?
Also Faceoffs. Someone (well several of us) have mentioned this in other threads how big an issue this is. It's not just a stat, it's the potential of what the won/lost face off leads to. On the PK or on the PP especially. We don't have a solution for this. It will cost us a game eventually, and a game might be the end of a season for us.
Anyway,
GO CAPS
richkrt99:
What do yuns think the goalie rotation will/should be?
Does Copely start vs the Devils and Holtz then get Tampa or other way round?
How many games does Copely get for remainder of the year?
BarfingMonkey:
I'd say let's try Copely vs Tampa.

:pointdown:
A. Teams aint looking past nobody in the playoffs.. It's the PLAYOFFS!!!
B. There were even more "IFs" last year..
C. If you're "expecting" a cup, you don't watch enough hockey..
D. They don't want to lose to the Lightning again, so Holts will be in net..
:uh-huh:

Is it hockey season yet? HFC the clock is slow.
Caps, give us something to talk about...
(other than Holtby's GAY PRIDE)
Is it wrong for me to agree to disagree that Hockey isn't really for EVERYONE, and I don't mean gay....I mean like most of my friends of lets say...."Latin American" ancestry have NO interest whatsoever in Hockey and don't care to have it forced on them, so It should be Hockey is for Everyone....who is INTERESTED IN HOCKEY.
