Agreed. Our forward corps is a rotating door of "who the fuck sits this game out" because we have too many forwards, while our defense is basically an episode of To Catch a Predator - a few old guys and a bunch of fucking kids.
Ovi, Backy, Kuzy (when he's not retarded), Wilson, Vrana, and Oshie to me are set as the top 6. Eller and Connolly help form the core of the 3rd line. I trust guys like Stephenson, Boyd, Jaskin, Dowd enough to have them fill in the rest of the forward group. Those are our 12 guys and we haven't even gotten to DSP yet, luckily. But at least we have people who weren't born yesterday.
Meanwhile, Carlson, Niskanen, Orlov, and Kempny (which, say what you will about their play, they're our best defenders). Then after that it goes downhill rapidly. You have Orpik, spokesman of the AARP, and fucking children like Seigenthaler, Bowey. One of our big guys on D goes down and you're getting pretty close to legitimately finding a homeless guy off the streets to play 6D

ok let’s tap the breaks here . . . Reidon isn’t getting fired yet.
Right now he’s doing what Monumental expects him to do: making sure Ovie leads the league in goals and closes in on 800. Then ride “have a chance in the playoffs”, because they won once, . . .once, each year.
Do you really think Ted cares about a loss as long Ovie gets a hat trick?
Monumentals goal is to open the new arena with a statue of Ovie saying 800 goal-scorer out front, not winning games in January or even Cups.
This is why they let Trotz walk and hired Reidon

Coaching....Okay, I'm not one to complain about coaching, but Reirdon is not getting it done. His fault or not, it's his responsibility. Yes, he deserves to be fired...well actually he probably didn't deserve to be hire - well maybe he deserved it but he likely wasn't worthy of it.
BUT
PLEASE stop telling me how great Trotz is NOW. Most of these boards were screaming to fire him two failed seasons before he left. Most of these boards wanted to fire him at this point LAST SEASON. There is no way in hell he deserved an extension at THIS POINT LAST SEASON which is when it would have had to get done. It was WAY too late for both sides after the season was over.
SOme of you guys are ridiculously fickle and change your tunes after the fact.
Yes Trotz is a good coach, but most every cap Fan was calling for his head because he COULD NOT get this Caps team out of the first round, and that he was a great regular season coach and a horrible playoff coach. He was lost and out classed in the playoffs and out coached by EVERY single team. He couldn't make adjustments on the fly, couldn't meet the changes the other teams threw out....blah, blah, blah :O= THese were all things said on these boards. Until AFTER the SC run last year.
Now you guys want him back...or we should have.....or we could have.....Forget it.
Todd Sucks but that doesn't make Trotz great. Anyone can call a SC champ coach great job (after you win the cup) WHere were all you Trotz supporters when we lost in ANOTHER first round after another Pres Trophy? Where were you when the Caps were mired in a shit season last year?
alta:
Technically, it was the 2nd round Trotz couldn't get past. And the team slump had been fixed by this point of the season. Last season, the low point, the Preds Avs road trip where it looked like Trotz may have lost the lockerroom, was right after thanksgiving. But yea, good point.

Caps are Ted's cash cow.. He won't let the milk spoil, trust me. (or rather GMBM won't) 3 more losses in a row and we'll start hearing the whispers of who they're hiring next..
