We aren't alone in our misery.  Three of the four East Conference series are 3-0.  And after all, the Rangers/Caps series WAS the most lopsided-looking series coming in.


The Caps are an elite NHL team in one way only:  Competitive integrity.  They actually found a way for this group of players to sneak into the playoffs despite having one of the least talented rosters in the league.  And their reward??  Draft picks buried in the middle of the NHL pack.  There is no obvious way for the franchise to escape mediocrity or worse for several years, at least.  Even a couple of bonafide stars probably wouldn't be enough to lift this franchise to be a Stanley Cup contender.

Caps lose 3-1


NHL zebras suck ass

I actually think his inaction was due to Ted's push on VA.  I think he told him to pause on any big deals which is why he has generally signed junk recently

Another one to the refs.
Not saying we would have won if we had decent refs, but it would have been a much better game and I suspect fewer of our players would be hurt.

Oh well.

Night peeps.   

We need 2 NHL ready centers, someone to teach our forwards how to win a board battle, 2 defensemen that can actually be MORE physical than the opponents and a scoring forward or two.   


So, not too much

More importantly, a GM willing to get those pieces.

welp, at least the playoff experience is good for some of the younger guys
