Capitals Quadrophenia:
- Forsberg
- Varlamov
- Boudreau
- Brouwer/Jagr
Also I trashed Brouwer in last season's GDT before the game and he ended up scoring. Sorry for the incoming Brouwer 3 point night.
Haha I just looked at Brouwer's stats for this season: 19 GP, 0 G, 3 A, 16 shots on goal, -7.8% rel. Corsi, 13:20 average TOI!
How can he continue getting so much ice time despite basically 0 production? Dude is a scrub and can thank a great PP in DC and one good postseason run in STL for his ridiculous contract.
He is bruuuuutal.Haha I just looked at Brouwer's stats for this season: 19 GP, 0 G, 3 A, 16 shots on goal, -7.8% rel. Corsi, 13:20 average TOI!

Confident he doesn't score tonight. I would bet virtually anything...Also I trashed Brouwer in last season's GDT before the game and he ended up scoring. Sorry for the incoming Brouwer 3 point night.
Jagr was great for us, when he felt like playing without his grumpy face. He wore his emotions too easily, and it became more of a distraction and hindrance to the team, It's just who he is, when he's unhappy everyone would know. If there is any consolation, Beech, Sivek, and Lupashuk never amounted to anything. Anson Carter stayed for a season, and was shipped out as part of the rebuild, Jared Aulin was the return from LA. Aulin, I think had injury issues, and never really had a career. Oh well.Jagr and Brouwer. A parade of the hated ex-Caps in DC tonight. I don't really hate Jagr, some of us do but I wasn't a Caps fan when he was on the team. Brouwer though, his stone hands and his "leadership" can go kick rocks.

Getting Jagr off the team and tanking led to drafting Ovechkin. I'd say it worked out well for us.
It also wasted the last productive years of several beloved staple Capitals players. All because Jagr didn't like DC, I've read.
I'm not going to rewrite that whole bad situation in a positive light just because our consolation prize turned out to be fun to watch in the regular season. It didn't have to happen that way.

Hahaha. Totally.glad he's missing the net somewhere else.

Why are you minimizing what #8 did for the franchise and hockey in the DMV area as a whole? Caps are worth twice as much now and all these new ice rinks popping up all over the place aren't a coincidence either. **** Jagr! Things worked out just as they should have.
