Yeah Darrell was a true Redskin back in the heyday. I remember the Superbowl vs Broncos where we were getting killed in the 1st half, then they had Darrell return a kickoff (or a punt?) and he ran it back for a TD...we made big comeback and won it. Ahh...the good ole days. Hell I'm old - I can remember when the Caps were good too

I was being realistic though. They've handed out stupid money on the D we have, so doubt they'll be doing much on that front. I still don't know what they saw to give Sandin a 300% raise for 5 years. (4.5m)
Fehervary is the best thing they have. So they'll probably deal him, if anyone. lol

So for a season review:
Carbury - not bad, the team seemed to play for him at times. He has been dealt a bad hand though.
Ovi - really just an awful year despite getting 30 goals. Not sure how many 5 on 5 goals he had and for 2/3rds of the games he pretty much just half-heartedly skated around. He will keep chasing the record and it's going to be hard to watch.
Carlson - have to say he had a pretty decent year but he still made plenty of boneheaded mistakes.
McMike - seemed to take one step forward, then one back, but overall improved a fair amount.
Lappy - might be our best shot at a future top 6 guy.
Protos - regressed a lot after his contract signing. Hopefully they can get him playing with more fire.
Oshie - totally done and should retire but he will come back for the money - can't blame him for that.
Malenstyn - a very pleasant surprise. Hope they sign him long term.
Fehervary - our best dman, he had a pretty decent year with more improvement to come.
Willy - not great this year and wasn't skating that well - that knee injury might be a long-term issue.
Jensen - thought he had a pretty good year and has some speed which we desperately need.
Sandin - jury is still out, although his small size will continue to be a problem - especially in the playoffs.
Overall, we are obviously an old, slow team that isn't physical anymore and doesn't have any real star players.
