The league has changed and no team in it is as physical as you'd want one to be so it's time to accept that and appreciate that we aren't a team like the leafs. That team has more offense than any in the league but will get beat up and taken advantage of in the playoffs because Babcock doesn't have anyone that's tough and can skate well enough to earn a jersey every night. That's why they traded Matt Martin. As much as I dislike Ryan reeves, he's the only players other than byfuglyan that's on a team that will make the playoffs. The only player that's 1st line worthy and tough in the league is Wayne Simmonds and when he hits the free agent market this summer, he'll get 8+ Mil a season if not much more. From what I've seen out of Wilson since he served his suspension is perfect, he picks his spots now and isn't as reckless as he was before.

Thank you Caps PR department, that is just the bullshit is handed out all the time while the rosters change and the ratings drop because people don’t like faggy hockey.
A five Cups in 5 years???. HOW??? No really tell me how, because I’d love to hear how you come about that bullshit and who you’ll spin it . You zealots seem think this team is fuckin 84 Oilers md utterly invincible, completely ignorintg that the losses in the playoffs where not 1 pt OT losses where the team played great , but losses where they loook like they didn’t belong in the playoffs, let alone the NHL! This same team hasn’t gotten out the second round the previous 20 years. But after a few wins and joing the elite group of teams that have won only one Cup, you think they’ll get 5 after making minimal changes?
So now LOSING 6-5, < 80% PK is just the new NHL, Riedon is the best coach in the world, and the league cowers in fear over this unstoppable offense and Lars Eller! PRAISE JESUS!!! Anyone who disagrees and follows data instead of entertainment is just a heretic who likes goon hockey and the work of the devil right? 🤣

DC you are just upset that the Caps beat your beloved Red Wings, tell us how great the Red Wings are or better yet tell us which team in the current NHL plays the style of hockey you think is necessary to win the Cup.

Well you know me well enough to know that’s bullshit.
But, to answer your question, The Wings are in a full rebuild, so bad games are more understandable. But their drafts will show you that not only are they stocking up with big and strong players, they are addressing their weakness. Also, next year, The Captain will be GM or even President. So in a couple years, they’ll be a juggernaut with a smart and strong team.
But this year, Boston is certainly doing it, TB, Nashville, Calgary is also close, (i can’t beleive I’m saying this), The Hens and SJS will we deadly. However, goalie is a wildcard for all except SJS and Boston. All of these play defensive system with rosteres stocked with Selke and/or Norris caliber players.
What your not realizing or understanding is that the ebb of this Woman’s Rules trend is staring to flow back and correct itself. Teams are drafting bigger players, the likes of Wilson are becoming more and
more valuable then euro-figureskaters who are over paid for their 15 goals.
Also look at the ratings, the national ratings are dropping each year with NBCs contract ending in 2021. This maybe the biggest case the Woman’s Rules don’t work, or belong in the NHL.
So if the Caps stick with what they have and how they do things. the teams that are ahead of the curve will do i ate them.
I have no desire to point at sole SC Banner and say, “Well we did it once”

Its funny that you list Tampa Bay as one of the teams because they are one of the least physical teams in the league. I was recently watching a TB game and the commentators were saying that one of the reasons they lost to the Capitals last year in the playoffs was because the Capitals were more physical.

Not at all. They have a +52 GAA and tough D.
And if you think we beat TB because we we (Wilson) was more physical, then I don’t what you where watching or looking at. We won becside Cooper bet on the Caps folding like they used to and made no adjustments, and Trotz took advantage
