Sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war.

yea, but wrong battle. It’s just like when I used to care about the NFL. Skins could go 14-2 as long as those 2 were Dallas. Same thing with Caps and shitsburgh

[zerofox]

Except for the Fouls.

If it means firing TR and getting a coach who actually gives us a chance in the playoffs, I'll gladly give the Pens a meaningless season game in exchange for a legit Cup run.

[justwincaps]

Samsonov  should be the only one allowed to fly home in the Capitals jet, tonight!
 Everybody else should get put on a Greyhound bus, back to DC!
 They could not even defend for Sammy in the last minute of the game!


Rush

Sammy definitely deserved a better result tonight.

Did you post in the "Coaching" thread?
Besides, there's no such thiing as a "meaningless" game against the Fouls.  Season OR post!

Oh yeah!
Sadly, Justwin, that’s either his 4th or 5th straight loss.

Hypothetical question...


Lose to Pens in regular season -> fire TR -> Caps win Stanley Cup in 2020


OR


Crush Pens in regular season -> don't fire TR -> Caps exit first round


Which would you choose?

G''night fellas.

I’m with you Lil, as a Caps fan, that NO game, against the hens, is meaningless!


But I’m with Zero on Rierden! He is the poster boy, head coach, for “MEANINGLESS”!!😁😁

Good Lord man.  We'd have to get past the Hens anyway.
What good do you see getting a new HC would do now?  New HC learning about the plaers at this time?  Cmon! 

Stop it  I need to sleep.

Hehe!  Back in the day my favorite button (which I think I still have) was a large one that read "DALLAS SUCKS".

BESIDES! 

WHO would you get to replace him?  Your brother in law?  Who is available and competant and willing NOW, exactly?
EXACTLY!
'Cos having a shiny new coach is really vonna help our tem now. 

SHEESH!

[Surreylily]

Over-tired....   

[KollieOlizig]

     Well that was ugly. No one showed up. The 2 players that stood out for me was Kempny and Vrana. In a bad way. Kempny was flopping around all over the place. And Vrana was driving me crazy. He floated between center ice and the Jets Blueline all game. He might be the worst floater in the league.

 See ya AJ!
Thanks as always for the GDT!


Just to let you know, DC and I are working on another casual get together,   Especially for some of those that missed it last time.
 Possibly the Pittsburgh game on Saturday, March 7th, at 1pm.
It’s two Saturdays from now.
I’ve got to make some calls first, as basically it’s going to be DC and I, meeting up somewhere to watch the game, possibly with the wives, and hoping we can get a few other board members out!
 Rich, Barf, Alta,  and anyone else , come on out!!👍👍

Damn if I wasn’t thinking the same thing, Kollie!


Kempny is not looking good at all.


And Vrana, other than the speed on his fast breaks,  doesn’t move his legs much anymore, and in my opinion, is actually playing LESS THAN a 100 foot game.Its like he’s just looking for breakaways!  Seems kind of selfish!  And I’m actually a fan normally, of both Jake and Kempny.  But facts are facts!!

Lil’. The real question may be what HARM could it do??😁
In all seriousness, though, I’ve seen virtually nothing that Rierden does, either PRO. or CON, that seems to have ANY effect on what happens with this team on the ice!


IMO,  The point is we don’t see anything GOOD, or BAD, that obviously shows itself, as something with Rierden’s signature on it!
 The guy is practically INVISIBLE!!.....and THAT is not at all good,If you’re the head coach of a team where it’s obvious, even to the fans,  what the issues are!!
