oshie/backstrom/irwin.. three decied to destroy the team in no time. This should be the end of Lavi and GMBM but we know how much Ted loves mediocrity.

 

[trick9]

This is ugly.

 

[Brian23]

Man, I am just so ready for a new coaching staff and a new game philosophy. I know it'll probably be some old head retread, but I am dying for an offensive guy who'll actually bang the drum about better passing. Just zero creativity in this team.

 

[Neil Racki]

Welp ….

0-2

Not very good

 

[Misery74]

Laviolette has them ready to play.

Ovechkin looks like he doesn’t even want to be bothered.

[SecretaryofDefense5]

10-0 today? Who knows?

For me, hard to pine for anything new right now when we’re “trying to lose” today…..right?

run it into the ground…..

 

[Langway]

Thankfully this is game 71.

 

[Neil Racki]

At least this effort isn’t in front of a home crowd

 

[pman25]

Do or die and it looks like we choose death

 

[McVechkin]

Remind me again how the draft lottery works?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Thankfully this is game 71.

Draft day might be our only hope for a little light in the tunnel….

They aren't trying to lose, they just suck at just about everything. Some of us have been pointing out that ineptitude all year.

 

[g00n]

Ovechkin d2d with busted givadamn

 

[Misery74]

Today may be the day they officially quit on Laviolette.

Let Allen bring this ship in. This is a disgrace and a disaster.

Thus my quotes….let them suck. if you’re in the crew wanting them to lose to polish a lotto ticket, embrace it. Stop complaining and enjoy their futility for now!

Did Al Kokehead get a hair transplant or a hairpiece? He looks different.

Right. I don't get the continued complaining if we've taken The Tank as our lord and savior and invited it into our lives.

There is no coach in the world that can win with a lineup of Ovechkin/Backstrom and Oshie at this stage in their careers. But the fact that he keeps playing all three on the same team is insane. And even worse is the GM sees it and keeps allowing it. They'd rather delude themselves into thinking like it's just a matter of "effort" instead of realizing the writing on the wall. Neither Backstrom nor Oshie should be playing.. and Irwin is straight trash and should be bagging groceries at giant.

There's the lottery but a possible ~3% chance of something is pretty f***ing dire.

At least Wegmans…come on.

Something IS going on…..lol..

Flat out disagree. Backstrom is a massive negative, but this team has checked out because of the awful decision making Lavi has had all year. Outside of a wasteful hot streak in December, they've just consistently made the wrong decisions and this is the outcome.

Possibly any big trade(s) might also come then….
