You realize how utterly slow they are when you see them against a team like Toronto which moves the puck around crisply and with speed. They also lose just about every battle on the boards which is always lethal. The coach can't seem to inspire much effort, either. It's past time to blow this thing up and nobody except maybe Ovi should be untouchable.

I don't watch much other hockey than the Caps, but I turned on a game couple nights ago and yeah...the speed and movement of the other teams....was like watching teams geared up in the 2nd/3rd round of the playoffs. You don't realize the difference until you play a team that is just superior.
Caps actually played a pretty hard/decent game against Toronto and had some chances, but they did look outmatched and it felt like the outcome was inevitable. I think the Caps played harder, but it didn't matter. The Caps can up their game and compete on a nightly basis - if they get some goaltending, but the long and short is...in the long run, they are just outmatched in too many areas compared to the better teams. You can overcome shortcomings in one or two areas, but not with glaring weaknesses in so many areas.
