Can't wait for the start of the new season
Basically no Caps highlights.
One save for Holtby and one long segment with Ovi lifting the cup after some absolute greats doing the same before him. Im ok with it.
I thought it was ok, then I saw Pat Sajak with his index cards after I'd been pregaming for 3 hours and I was like I wish he had armor and a broadsword or at least a snare drum.I hadn't seen the Vegas pre-game show until just now as I am FINALLY watching the full NBC broadcast of game five (have only seen SN/CBC version). Good god what a crime against humanity that thing was. Did anyone enjoy that because that wasn't just cringe-worthy it was just downright amatuer hour stuff. If that is the future of live hockey I think I'll just stay home.
I did enjoy the yelling of "red" and "O" during the anthem, it was damn loud. Fairweather fans selling their tickets in season one bodes well for the future.

Holy ****, it’s around 20 per game prior to the Kempny trade! 20:33 before the break! Championship team giving a guy outscored at ES -0.5/60 (worst on team) 16:13 ES/game, 4th on the team!
I just could not believe Trotz was putting him out there 20+ a game all the way up to the deadlineWhy is this so surprising to people? Did you not actually watch the first half + of the season? Orpik was asked to do way too much for 50ish games to start the season. Just look at his game by game ice time for that period. He suffered, so what? A player of his ilk at this point in his career shouldn’t be playing 2nd pair minutes and 20+ per game. He was a decent amount over 20 per game during that time. Is it his fault the Caps didn’t have someone more capable to play those minutes?
Once slotted in appropriately he was more than fine and they won the cup with him in that role. I have no concerns about his ability to play a 3rd pairing role.

Trotz was also coaching for his job and the next guy in line gets all the credit for the development of their defensemen, so he had little investment in the development of Djoos and Bowey at the cost of their learning on the job.Speaks volumes about who was behind him....
