No news here bus boy . I took the mea culpa on this ages ago. I didn't get to see him in practice and I was also unaware of his commitment to an extremely rigorous off season training regimen. That said, I get a solid D- on my evaluation.Forgive the 'copy and paste'.
But, its amazing to me that you continue to "harp" on this over and over when you literally expressed the opinion multiple times that you NOW sarcastically mock, over and over and over and over...

I do hope that the FO isn't expending any resources to keep Wild Bill.
He's an easily replaceable spare part who went 45 games or so without a goal.

Anyone who real thinks that a player like Karlsson moves the meter for a hockey team in a substantial way doesn't get NHL hockey personnel options. Wild Beel-type players are available all the time during the off season and usually make the waiver wires weekly during the season. As an added bonus, most of them will even throw a check.
The "kicker" is, I'm not even sure anybody has even claimed that the team didn't make a mistake in hindsight. The issue I have is, unlike you, most of the other people acknowledge this hindsight. And they also don't attempt to make a point by mocking an opinion that they themselves felt and expressed for a decent period of time. Vegas was never taking Jack Johnson.
Concentrate on Washington #43. It will become tough NOT to root against one of the.The Finals games, like much of the rest of the playoffs, have been entertaining to watch. But it's been very difficult to root against both teams.
Sorry V, but this is the Around Hockey Thread....
Is it me of has WK looked lost and ineffective out there? I think Matty C had more impact against the Caps. Looks lost at times on the ice.
In every Caps series there have been stretches during which their opponent looked lost/confused/ineffective. I think there’s a common thread there.
I know we’ve already fussed this in the thread and I don’t wanna go down the close/not close Road again but... 2OT from being up 3-0...
Thank the hockey lords that didn't happen, losing 4-3 after going up 3-0 would have been even more embarrassing.
I'm not saying anything in particular would or wouldn't have happened. I don't care to go down those paths. But the fact remains the Jackets were up 2 games to 0 and in double-overtime in that series.
But that scrambled, disorganized unit we chalked up to Same Old Playoff Jackets in the rest of that series? Every one of the Caps' opponents this postseason has had that look at some point.
It's mostly just unfortunate we couldn't get the fake points many here care about, AKA the points you get for winning a round 1 or 2 in the POs before losing to the eventual champs.

I'm hoping I am misunderstanding you, but it sounds like you're saying winning a round or two doesn't matter if you don't win the Cup.
As if winning a round or 2 wouldn't have a positive impact on the team.
Only 1 team can win the cup.
The idea that 29 (or 25) teams failed, is ridiculous.
The objection is mostly to using that name as a blunt instrument all over the place, so if I was in a forgiving mood I'd forgive this one.Sorry V, but this is the Around Hockey Thread....
Guess I might have needed the sarcasm emoji for that last one. It wasn't even funny or a good joke. Can't win 'em all, eh?
