Lol, nice!
Maybe even KEEP CALM -> KEEP TROTZ?

this thread, and our board.
Caps win against a surging divisional rival on the road......in a pretty convincing fashion....and all we see for the majority of the GDT is how either Holtby or Alzner are overrated, overpaid, and need to go.
as usual, this place isn't worth visiting. Yeah yeah. I will get told to stop reading, or to try and make an argument against the negativity. Sure. That seems to work well. Solid plan.
This board blows

It's a message board and people will talk about whatever they want.
Revelation just suggested making a high risk trade to make the team better (in his opinion) and extend the Cup window for a few more years.
I honestly don't give a crap about Holtby, Ovechkin, or any other player. I cheer for the Washington Capitals and the name in the front is WAY MORE important than the names in the back.
That's how professional sports work. Nobody should be untouchable for the right price. As far as I saw, he didn't say trade Holts for a bug of pucks. He's saying he would trade Holtby for top end skaters+futures considering the Caps have the one of the best goalie prospects in the world in the pipes.
I really don't see a reason for the outrage. It's just a freaking proposal.
I agree this place is almost unreadable lately and it shows in the number of posters/posts.
Its not doom and gloom vs blind optimism anymore, its the same five people arguing with or responding to each other ignoring most other posts and driving their agendas.
I've been reading here after almost every game for years but only posted a few times. I helped come up with the "because its the caps" playoff theme years ago because we were a good team and a little lighthearted self deprecation was fun and could preemptively stop people from responding "never won anything." when discussing the Caps.
Now coming here ruins the game for me. They are a good team with several likable players, one of which is one of if not the best goalscorer of all time, a Vezina winning goalie and a Jack Adams winning coach who is great person as well as a great coach and this is what I have to come to after a good win against a rival and a five game winning streak.
This is sad and there's a reason the GDT are five pages
I hope they do win a cup so people can see it doesn't change their life at all and they missed out on rooting for their team along the way.
Sorry for the long post.

Who's Langway in this scenario? Tyrion? Littlefinger?
This is accurate. The truth I guess...insofar as the brain can grasp it.He'd be Varys. Very smart, but no one actually knows what he really wants

The ignore function still exists, yes? Maybe some people should use it.
I will admit as a casual poster here I can see it gets hostile pretty often. That being said I haven't been innocent in my comments towards players/the team.
People also forget about the amount of pure trash posting that's gone on in the past. As someone who's had to wade through almost every post the last few years there's been a lot less of it than before, partly because some of the worst offenders have posted their way off the site.
IMO the bickering here about a few players also pales in comparison to the never ending arguments about guys like Laich, Green, Semin, etc.
Someone mentioned the comments at Japers are also slowing down. I've noticed similar at WaPo when I've checked some of their articles. It's not just here. People always take a wait and see approach when the Caps seem to peak and or disappoint in the playoffs.
Pretty much watched every game last year, only really watching games this year if they're up against a good team. Kind of just waiting around until april really.
Not that you or I haven't harped on certain things in the past...It's good to read contrarian views. Just not the same ones about the same stuff in every thread. I'm sure you can see the difference in that thought process.
