If it's happening throughout the league, it isn't Reirdon's system, it's the league's doing. The league wanted a more wide-open game, and they've got it. It's difficult to execute the "good old fashioned" type of game when the league has legislated out many of its tactics.

So Reirdon just takes the NHL template and passes it out to the players? That must be why Trotz got "fired" because he ran a "good old fashioned system" through much of the playoffs last year instead of the "template" and won with it.
And your "logic" of if is "happening throughout the league, it isnt Reidons system", isnt just bad, it's lazy.
Or you're just trying justify the 7 times we allowed 5 goals, scoring 5 goals 11 times, Ovie on pace for 70 goals, with the system and scenarios you're seeing on the ice each game with the other teams that won a Cup last yeat, have (had) a top 3 Goalie, and the forward approaching 700 career goals?

And anything having to do with sports is "the small stuff".. :uh-huh: :P The NFL will probably be flag football in our lifetime (at least at the skills positions) but what are ya gonna do? Stop watching? I've rooted for the sorry ass Redskins since birth.. If I can stomach through the Dan Snyder era, I can stomach some sissy ass rules.. Is what it is my brotha! ;)

A lot of wisdom in that, Mick, Lotta wisdom!!👍
Like you, it was around age 50, for me, that I realized I was allowing too much of the “small stuff”, to continue to affect my overall daily mental state.
My thing, nowadays, thank God, is to mostly CONDUCT my life in a way to continually maintain the “peace of mind”, (You could say, my motto)!
This REQUIRES “not sweating the the small stuff”, as a major part, so we are, most def, on the same page there!!
Additionally I’m blessed with a wonderful wife, who came to USA, from China, at age 13. She has fully acclamated to the American lifestyle, but retains the part of her culture that keeps “the home”, as a peaceful sanctuary! Prior to meeting her, I had never considered that you have to “create”, a peaceful environment in the home, it doesn’t just fall together out of nowhere! LOL
Sports really is in “the small stuff” category, when viewed from that angle!!
Good words, Mick!

4 Caps:
The object of a hockey game is to score more goals than your opponent. So if you score 6 goals and your opponent scores 5 you win and if you score 1 goal and your opponent scores 0 goals you win. There is no difference. You have two wins, one is no better than the other. Personally I like watching high scoring games, other people may like watching low scoring games. I want the Caps to win and I really don’t care how they win. The Caps are good at adapting to the way the other team plays, if their opponent wants to play a wide open game the Caps can play that game and succeed. If the opponent wants to play a tight checking game the Caps can play that style and win as they showed in the playoffs last season. DC I don’t know why you doubt that the Caps can’t play like they did in the playoffs when they have basically the same players. Despite what you may think the system Rierden is using is not much different if any than the system Trotz used.

Geez Louise Cap Fans. I'm with you 4-caps. I like when the Capitals WIN.
Are other teams' message boards this "downer debby" and "the sky is falling" and "our team is just lucky to win" when there teams win 12 out of 14 games?
I thought this was supposed to be a place for Cap fans. (and no, i'm not blindly following the Monumental mantra and drinking the Kool Aid)
Who is the best team in hockey as of the LAST winning playoff race? The Mother Fucking STANLEY CUP CHAMPION Washington Capitals BABY!!!!
Go Caps.

If the Redwings win 12 of 14, something tells me their board will mirror ours? :rofl:
