Our forwards have been just as responsible for our defensive play as our defense. Defense is more about the system than individual play.

I actually like the way Reirdon teaching our young Dcorps. They become responsible for their stupid plays.

The funny thing is that the young guys are playing well. Its Orlov and Niskanen that are struggling. Its been disaster for that pair this year.

--- Quote from: 4 Caps on Tuesday December 18, 2018, 04:55:42 PM Eastern ---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.

Just score more than your opponent works fine for pick-up games on the pond or rec league but thats about it. If thats the case why not just trade/cut Holtby and get web-developer to suit-up and play goalie and get another 40 goal scorer with the cap space so than we win 12-11?
Hell when only one kid/person has goalie equipment, he plays goal doesn't he?
Why doubt them? What trust them? What solid data and analysis supports having blind faith and conifidence in them?
