We have looked better defensively recently be especially on paper but alot of that has been the goaltending.

I just want to say that this nobody ;) very much thought we could win cup last year. I was very strangely calm and optimistic unlike previous years where I was frustrated. Beginning in Late Jan - Early Feb I was feeling very comfortable with our chances. We clearly had the talent for a few years and then last season we seemed to have the resolve to play the right way (all 60 minutes and a solid defense) that we were previously missing, and so I saw us going all the way. I also predicted we could/would dominate the Golden Knights quite early in the playoffs.

I'm with AjR. I always felt our team had a chance last season. We had the talent. We needed to refine our playoff game a bit and needed a bit of luck.
The season before I think the team was very close. We lost to the Pens in 7 games and didn't play a very good defensive series. I thought that was the year that we added the piece that hurt our chances more than helping.

Come on. It was the seventh goal in a 7-0 blowout. I understand why the Bruins took offense. I'd still love to see Wilson destroy Marchand but for not for retribution for Eller. Just because he is Marchand.

The Caps celebrate EVERY goal and there is nothing wrong IMO with Eller celebrating his goal with the team as they do for every single goal scored all year. Only a bitch like Marchand would take offense. I understand some of us older folks might remember when goal celebrations were almost non-existent and might see it differently, but nearly all players on the ice today played during the era of goal celebrations. Get over it I say. If you don't like to lose, then win!
I do agree with your last couple sentences. :snicker: Marchand is THE dirty player many wrongfully try to accuse Wilson of being. I look forward to Jan 10. Marchand has been playing quite well lately and says he wants to want to lose that dirty player identity so he can be remembered for his skills. Since it's in his genes to be a dick I don't see that ever happening. He will always be remembered as a top douche bag of the NHL.

it would of all been good if Marchand left the ice covered in blood after the “fight”, but if you’re gonna get your gonna get pounded, embarrassed and humiliated like Eller did, you have no place doing anything close to taunting or celebrating, particularly when your up 7 goals

Well Eller did over celebrate in front of the Bruins bench on a totally meaningless goal. The new generation doesnt seem to frown on those actions like they did in the past. In the 70s or 80s that behavior could have started a line brawl or even better a bench clearing brawl.
I have no problem with Eller getting his ass kicked. I'd kick his ass too.
