I’m most concerned with how Ovie looks so far. No energy, slow legs, cannot get shot clear of defenders.
Unfortunately, some players needed brain transplants even in their younger days (Carlson).Idk these top guys can’t execute shit, sure coaches blah blah but these guys aren’t doing much of anything
In terms of areas of emphasis you're very likely right. But it's not like they're playing much youth.But it's not just the old guys. Even the younger guys play that way. Which is why I keep saying it's the coach.
If they wake up it could go well even being old. If they continue to sleep it could work for the Caps if we get luck in the draft .I know it's only two games, but right now it looks like winter is coming for the Ovie era Caps.
Indeed. This is the time of year to make adjustments. They were in both games despite father time and the usual.OV bailed out Fraudsythe for so many years, but he doesn't have that ace card to bail him out anymore.
Put Orlov on PP1, as he is a lot more mobile than Carlson.
Watching the Leafs PP just makes you angry because you see how nice an actual well run PP is. It makes you extra mad that Spencer Carbery is the one coaching that magnificent PP instead of being on the bench in Washington.
Totally agree. That was a missed opportunity by Caps! I wonder if they even countered or tried.Watching the Leafs PP just makes you angry because you see how nice an actual well run PP is.

GMBM was the one who needed to address it. And he didnt. Only so much Laviolette can doLaviolette needs to take a serious look at his lineup choices. The lineup is littered with old guys who can no longer handle the puck. That includes OV. who might cleanly handle 30% of the o-zone passes to him. So with OV being a fixture you simply cannot have an Eller in the lineup.
I’m literally at a point where I despise Forsythe to no end. Like I wish someone would shave his eyebrows and inscribe an “ass” tattoo on his forehead.
Who isntI see 0-3 coming up against the Habs. They are a much faster team than we are.
Yes… I think you put both CMM and Snively in together. Third line was slow and old.I don't doubt Carlson, Oshie & Eller are washed at least. They're the toughest tasks in turning their games around I think. Their sheer sluggishness getting around the ice seems tough to overcome individually to add any fluidity to what's already an extremely choppy style. They could swap in CMM & Snively it's still going to be dogshit a lot of the time. It's just how they roll only it's a lot uglier when talent can no longer get to their spots.
I see a lot more talent on the Leafs PP.Watching the Leafs PP just makes you angry because you see how nice an actual well run PP is. It makes you extra mad that Spencer Carbery is the one coaching that magnificent PP instead of being on the bench in Washington.
