Congrats Caps, cool to see Ovi hoist it.

Lamest cup skate ever though, what was that lmao

Look at the rosters Barry had in Nashville. You can argue that those teams overachieved for much of his time there

That's why I don't think he's really that overrated. Those teams weren't good enough. David Poile also was not good enough in those years. Iced too many grinders, they were never good enough. Poile finally started doing work after he let Barry go and went in a different direction.

Do people still think Boudreau is good? He sucks.

Not since he's been in Minnesota, since it's the weakest team he's coached. Coincidence? Boudreau was JAG coaching two different stacked teams, made the conference finals once? He's worthless. Deserves no praise at all. He's up there with McLellan for biggest shithead, most highly and wrongfully praised head coach that's employed right now. Both guys are bums. The only time Boudreau deserves praise is for maybe when he took over in Washington and they turned it around down the stretch that year in 07-08. The first year Ovechkin made the playoffs.

The only thing I will say in his defense is that he never had adequate goaltending in Washington, nor did he have it for half of his time in Anaheim, but he also kept changing them in Anaheim. Kolzig's creamted remains, Brent Johnson, rookie Varlamov, the skeleton of Jose Theodore. Boudreau's disposal of goalies was less than impressive. And then you had Hiller in Anaheim, who was a f***in jabroni bum and boosted his save percentage facing a lot of shots under Carlyle and his non-system.

At the end of the day, coaches like Boudreau and McLellan do NOTHING to enhance your roster. I think Trotz may, even if just a little bit.

Agree on Cooper though. JAG coaching a stacked roster.

So happy for ovi

 

[glenwo2]

I about DIED with laughter when I saw him almost crash-land into his teammates like that.


Happy for him, though.

He sucked for us but AT LEAST he wasn't a passenger on the Caps as he did his part in helping them pull it off.

Anyone see the clip of the woman flashing her boobs against the glass as Ovie skates the Cup with the team?

f***ing Vegas!

Is this a preview to the insanity that will be Raiders games in Vegas?

Still think Barry is overrated over his whole career of work, but he did a good job and he badly outcoached one of the other more overrated HC’s in Jon Cooper. Who was still playing his fourth line with minutes to go in their last game when they faced elimination. I don’t think he’s the most overrated head coach anymore. I think Cooper is.

BOUDREAU BOUDREAU BOUDREAU BOUDREAU BOUDREAU BOUDREAU BOUDREAU BOUDREAU BOUDREAU.

Most overrated head coach of the millennium.

These narratives are just stupid especially if they're predicated on cup success which only one team can have each year.

No perennially successful coach like Cooper, Boudreau, or Trotz can ever be considered overrated. It takes a hell of a coach to have the seasons some of those coaches have had year in and year out. Cooper is a bit of an odd man out here, but his resume prior to joining the NHL is stellar.

There's been dozens and dozens of coaches who have washed out of the league since Trotz and Boudreau have been coaching. There's a reason those guys quickly find jobs, it's because they are very, very good head coaches.

Wow that interview with Oshie was emotional, I didn’t realize his father had Alzheimer’s. He’s always been one of my favorites, awesome to see him get his Cup.

The wife and I were both touched by that. It got us both teary eyed. We like personal stories like that. It always give you something extra to root for and feel good about. More than just a hockey player winning a cup. She was happy to finally see a cute guy, too. She’s been complaining for the last hour about this being the ugliest hockey team she’s ever seen. Until Oshie came on!

nope, i dont think it will be as intense.

So says the guy that thinks Jake Allen is good and Schneider is only bad because of the team defense and not because he's decaying.

You probably think Rick Tocchet isn't a bad coach....

And if Boudreau can't be considered overrated, then he also shouldn't be considered ''Good''.

Boudreau is NOT a good head coach. Can't you see he gets jobs because he coaches STACKED teams? Until he got to Minnesota and this may be his last job for a while, as the old guard seems to be disappearing. Sutter, probably AV now. I'm sure Torts is also next.

Dan Bylsma got another job, is he good? Randy Carlyle? Oh, that’s right. Bylsma coached a really bad team and now he’s washed out. Let’s see some of those guys coach bad teams and see if their reputations are finally stained.

 

[MadDevil]

I thought he'd eventually win one, I just figured it might happen in another city.

I think I said just earlier this year that he'd probably have to leave to win one...

Anybody have any sauce for this crow?

Backstrom isn't that bad looking. Ovechkin, Carlson, Holtby, all pretty weird looking dudes.

I never said any of that, so way to completely twist my words, but on to the actual topic...

I just can't except the argument that a guy that can consistently churn out 100+ point teams is an overrated coach. He may have his faults, but that's different than being overrated. He's easily one of the better coaches in the NHL.

Also nice to know we've just completely dismissed Tocchet as a head coach after one full season at the NHL level. I bet Bednar was a horrendous coach last year too then.

Good thing it wasn't Taylor Stevens. He might have dropped the Cup.

Neither one of those guys has had the sustained success as Trotz (especially with the rosters he has had) or Boudreau.

Bylsma and Carlyle managed to shit the bed with elite rosters. Carlyle was gifted one of the best top four defensive groups in NHL history and Bylsma got to ride shotgun on a recent SCF finalist.

Only thing Trotz and Boudreau are guilty of (no longer Trotz) is playoff failures. Two completely different things.

 

[Camille the Eel]

Really happy for Backstrom too. He’s paid his dues. A classy player, quiet, unselfish. Played hurt these playoffs, did what it took.

Trots, Ovi, Backstrom, Oshie, DSP.

This was a good result. They finally got over the top once they learned they could beat Pittsburgh.

Last three winners all from our division.

I think I saw it, too in the background while they were skating around....some players were immediately turning around and having a nice long "look".

Don't you think maybe he churns out 100+ point seasons because of stacked rosters? Why does he get so much credit? Now he coaches an inferior team and the results aren't as good.

Tocchet coached for almost two years in Tampa before this. They were a trainwreck.

And before you say bad roster, then you might wanna concede that Boudreau had stacked rosters.

She’s more choosier when it comes to light haired guys.

Yet she likes Taylor Hall!

I thought he was an ugly kid when he first came in, but he's kind of good looking as he's grown up.
