yea, like all comments i’m this thread, you missed the point.
But I get it, you like 6-5 OT wins in December even if the result of this a(nother) first round exit. I mean “Mr. Leonisis” said the goal was “A Cup”, not two, not a dynasty, and not becoming a top organization, so we should all just sit back and watch the goals because we have a,(one, uno, single, solitary, one squared, one to the first power, <2) Cup.

We should all know by now that this style and methodology looses way more than it wins

That's just it, Im not seeing this very bad/ugly pond hockey you and Maaco are? I've seen some bad plays sure, I've seen some soft goals, I've seen some shitty PKs, but poor structure and ugly play? Not sure what you guys are watching.. Holtbys been good, but if you think he's been making 10 bell saves to keep us in games I'd say he's given up nearly as many softies and head standers.. Maybe it's my Stanley Cup goggles?? :hearts:

I am with you Mickstix. Overall, the Caps have been playing well except for taking too many penalties and not being able to kill them off. 5 on 5 we have been the better team in most of the games. As for Holtby being unhappy, the only mention of his unhappiness that I have seen was in connection with the change in the goalie equipment and that he was getting a lot of bruises. It was not that he was unhappy with how the Caps were playing in front of him.

I'm with you guys. Yes not always stellar play, but not this video game stuff DC is hung up on. We love DC, but he's gonna still be unhappy when we lead the league in fights, win every game, have 7 Stanley Cups, beat the living shit out of every oponent every game. He's still going to be mad at Ted for wanting a winning team that turns a profit. I don't have a problem with Ted turning a profit as long as means the Caps are winning and have a reasonable chance at a good playoff run. I don't consider it a total failure if we don't win the cup EVERY YEAR.
Sure I want to win, but lets be real....so do all the other NHL teams.

Actually I agree with your assessment on Holtby. He is playing well but not exceptional. That's kind of my point. 2 seasons ago when we allowed the fewest goals in the league Holtby didn't play any better even though his numbers were so much better.
It is the play if the team in front of him that has changed, not his play.
I do agree with DC about the pond hockey though. We have gone from a team that gives up few high scoring chances to one if the worst. Our personnel hasn't changed that much. I'd say the problem is the system.
