Just stop.

Even if your whole point about Holtby is he's just a decent system goalie - well - Holts is the best player in the Caps "system" ...... and you keep your best players.

We don't know that since Grubauer won't get the chance behind him.

We do know that he's not good enough to steal a 2nd round series, or at least hasn't been.

And you won't ever know because Holtby won't get traded any time soon for Grubs - so your idea is pointless. Holtby isn't going anywhere so why even waste time talking about it?

We haven't got out of second round because of goal scoring.... not because of goaltending.

If they get crushed in the 2nd round again it's something you have to look at since there are practically no other options to improve the team after this year other than hope the rookies become star players.

Late to the party, but just 4 pages? Hopefully everyone is at the game actually. It will be hard games against the division, so hope this game (ok, for me the last period) will be like it's April.
haha, who heard Lets go caps few minutes ago? i told you everyone is at the game :laugh:

Questionable players win awards. You're saying you bunch Holtby in with those players? (actually you don't have to answer this since we know the answer)

Bobrovsky is a questionable player? He's a bonafide starter with a track record too but not irreplaceable. Not Jim Carey.

Holtby won playing well behind the most stacked regular season team in ~20 years and tying the goalie wins record . He was a big part of the team but you can't say he wasn't well supported or had to bail them out with amazing play on a nightly basis.

Nisky just scored from Ovi spot on the PP. Maybe Ovi was just a system goal scorer all along. Who needs Ovi and his cap hit? Nisky can step in and make up for the Ovi goal scoring!

I mean it's such a routine play they execute over and over, it's clearly a system gimmick.
