Ya know, I doubt Victor Hedmam or his clone would get a shot with the Caps.
Can’t skate, to big, doesn’t move the puck.

Have Riordan serve as interim and let him earn a contract, or dump all the coaches and start again with a Sutter, Keenan, or someone else with some experience that won't tolerate this optional skate club shangri-la attitude

LOL. It's Trotz that isn't mean enough, really? Do you honestly think we'd even last a season with Sutter? You guys get that it's the core team that is the problem right? It's an attitude issue with them and it always has been. Every single coach who has ever been hard on our core group of players has seen the door.
But it's okay, like most our fan base I guess is just content continuing to blame the coach even though it's what, like our 8th under Ovie and most of this group? I can't even count anymore. Their own work ethic and mental fortitude is the issue, it always has been. It can be said a million times but when the going gets tough the caps get going, and you can throw Scotty Bowman of old in there and it won't change anything. Down a goal, game 7, THE PLAYERS quit. The players get frustrated, the players give up. The coach can only do so much, this team has been due a huge identity shake up for ages. We either commit to a rebuild or commit to winning with Ovie but either way it should involve bigger names out the door, a restructuring of some our leadership and so on.

I think it’s more than and higher up than Trotz
This group of players was given to him by the organization. He’s probably checked out like Holts and Nisky has

Let us also not forget the a big part of this core is now locked into long term, high dollar contracts to.
