Well said, Bro!
I would however, wager that sitting down with DC, watching some greatest of all time hockey fight reruns, (and don’t forget to add in a few shots of JACK “century“), would be a pretty fun evening!

Well, Black, as usual, you have NOT disappointed, in your always, well-versed replies to my posts, whether they be pro, or con, to my view!
You may or may not get a lot of love here, from your post, as you mention, (I can’t call it), BUT... you will receive some respect for your opinion!
Whether I agree, disagree, or partially agree/disagree, with you, I always respect the ability of CLARITY, and the plausible reasoning behind your statements! (and NO, this is not some kind of reverse kiss-ass, butter up stuff, if anyone is inclined to be suspicious. I’m simply acknowledging, with appreciation, the mans care, and attentiveness, to good communication skills!)!👍👍
Having said that, You’ve given me a lot to digest, my friend, so I’ll try to respond to your post, paragraph by paragraph, that is, AFTER I address the LAST paragraph of your post, FIRST!
“Carlson is not Wilson, or even Gudas”.
Come on Black, I’ve got to give a good NSS on that one! (that’s Non Sense Sherlock, or the other one that’s more emphatic!)😁
Maybe a comparison, that’s a bit TOO opposite, Black, to believe that my points on Carlson, start with an expectation that he isn’t “Wilson level”, THEREFORE, THAT is why I think he’s a pussy!
Think about that reasoning, Black; for just a second.
If we had a hypothetical debate, in which you tried to persuade, and debate, that Mother Theresa, despite all her charitable attributes, STILL, had character flaws as a human being....and one of my counter points to you, was to say “Well, Black, Mother Theresa is NOT Hitler, or even Stalin”
I hope you see my point in this example, in that, YOU never even came close to such a comparison, and would think it absurd!
You would even be right, in this example, to say that I’d stooped to such a ridiculously low bar of comparison, As to call the weakness of my points into question. Otherwise, why would I need to do it??
YOU didn’t make the Mother Teresa/Hitler comparison. That would have been completely idiotic in its own right!! I DID IT, FOR YOU!! (falsely, I might add!).
Instead, I have to attribute it TO YOU, and incorrectly so, In an effort to bolster my position!
Lawyers do this all the time. Starting a conclusion, with an absurdly, over exaggerated premise! And if the jury BITES THE BAIT, his client may win!....(respectfully, though, not here, sir!)
Now, I’ve obviously, illuminated, and exaggerated, the example here, to make my point. But hopefully you get my drift.
[size=78%]Dammit! My Apologies, I’m against a little time crunch this evening, so I promise to get back and continue my response. If you want to take the opportunity to respond in the meantime. Feel free.[/size]
[size=78%]Hell, now that I’m thinking about it, it may be better to do these posts in shorter form, like this, as there’s a lot of subject matter between us on this issue![/size]
[size=78%]I’ll post again soon buddy.[/size]
put my hat on

I'm aware that my opinion doesn't carry quite as much clout as some others. but I also would put my hat in to defend John Carlson. This year.
He's been a volcano candidate many times and for several years, but tjis year.... NO.
HeS been great.
A slightly shaky start to the year, but then STEADY as she goes. No sign of the lazy, lacklustre, "Dylan" that he used to be. I've really liked the way he's played this year, so far.
Surreylily:
in fact there's not much of the team that I would change.
I LIKE this team.
We have interchangables.....
If one guy goes down, we have a replacement. We have options.
We have everything. ;D
We have all those things we never had and always used to whinge about.........all at once!
All 4 "C"'sPlayers sticking up for each other. We have scrappers.
Proteting our golie.Protecting eack other.offence AND defence.Net prescence.
We have one of the best bottom 6 lines n the NHL.
We have a damn good team.
I LIKE this team. :hearts:

Hey LIL!!👍
How have you been? Good to hear from you, as we haven’t talked in a while with each other!
Glad to see you’re still doing good justice to representing CAPS hockey, as possibly our sole, board ambassador in Surrey! Hell, maybe even all of the UK!
(Oh yeah, FYI, I had to get a new iPhone recently, and when deciding what data to transfer over, I saw that short little Alan May clip, from quite awhile ago! So if you ever lose it, i’ll always have a copy on iCloud)! Not bad for a non-techie, huh??😁😁
Anyway, I feel good to hear that you’ve turned the corner from the old “Dylan” mentality, and progressed on to liking and appreciating his play.
Who can fault you? The guy totally deserves it, and believe it or not, I actually appreciate him too!
I realize that the majority of my posts on the matter, this season, can be confusing! I have tried hard, with some questionable success, to try and SPECIFY, just exactly where I am, with this subject.
Honestly, sometimes my trying to be as CLEAR as I can, ( and I’m no genius, but you know I can be quite descriptive! Oftentimes too descriptive, RIGHT!!!)😆, can come off as too intense! I know this because my life circle of friends, mentions this aspect from time to time! LOL
It’s been both a positive, and a curse sometimes, for me personally, depending on the situation. My customers, with their heating and air-conditioning equipment, REALLY appreciate it, but other times, especially in social situations, I must come off like a thorn in someone’s ear!
Guilty on both, I say.
Quickly, and sparing you any more of my crazy self analysis, I try to nutshell my feelings on John Carlson for you.
The part I don’t like about him, looms HUGE, to me personally, but is quite micro in the overall John Carlson/Caps defenseman existence in reality! So that when I talk about his negatives, here on the board, I have pulled a small piece of the puzzle, put it under my intense microscope, and then rant away, from a personal peeve place in my brain!
When I talk on his positives, it is a zoom out, macro look, at the obvious reality, I exist in, with all the other Caps fans, that admires his incredible contributions to our Capitals team! My brain definitively has a section reserved, where I can overwhelmingly appreciate his value, respect him as an integral, and influential member of our CAPS team, of which I am a huge fan of!
Calling one side, as coming more from my sub-conscience, and the other side as coming from my reality experience, as far as all things Washington Capitals, is really about as honest of an assessment as I can furnish you!
Hope that helps, LIL!
Good to talk to you.
On a lighter note, I severely disagree with your posts opening, that you think your opinion doesn’t carry as much clout here. Let me just say, that you were one of the veterans on the old board, when I first joined. And I haven’t forgotten, the few others, YOU included, that gave me a warm, sincere welcome, when I was a “poster boy” nervous newbie!
