They also lost in round 2 three times with Barry as coach.
Pfft - the end justifies the means! Or, umm, something

What does VaCaps Fan have the night off and you're filling in for him in the likes department.Ok. Or maybe what @Skrudland2Lomakin said...
I agree with you. Thus team is playing undisciplined hockey. And I think Reirden ius in over his head. He was fortunate enough to take over a team that is very skilled.Because when you win a Cup you don’t get let go.
Other 2 seasons Caps won Presidents Trophy too.
Reirdon with basically same team is fighting for a playoff spot.
How can people not see the difference? This is worst they’ve played in YEARS
Wut?What does VaCaps Fan have the night off and you're filling in for him in the likes department.
A loss and Barry suddenly comes up.
Win a bunch and he's forgotten.
A loss and his name comes back up.
Win a bunch and once again forgotten.
Cool. Let’s talk about tonight’s game.Can't find the GDT from this day last year (7-1 loss to one of the worst teams in the league), the closest game I could find was this this Jan 19th loss to the Habs.
GDT has everything you'd assume, people asking why Backstrom/Ovechkin look awful, is Oshie healthy?, a fire Trotz sentiment, lots of references to how bad the team is, ya know, stuff you'd see in a 2019 thread as well.

Cool, so I can just reference this GDT next year when we have the same record, our second Cup and people are pissing and moaning?Cool. Let’s talk about tonight’s game.

I watched every game last season and this season. We are without doubt playing worse this year.Or maybe you didn't watch every game last season because this team was incredibly underwhelming in the regular season and the rose colored glasses is making everyone act like they were a wagon.
On this day a year ago we lost 7-1 to one of the worst teams in the league. I'm almost petty enough to find that damn GDT to show all the same posters posting all the same doom and gloom ****.
Or we can talk about the actual play in this game? Who the hell cares about the MTL game last year? I’m not taking sides here but I don’t see the relevancy.Cool, so I can just reference this GDT next year when we have the same record, our second Cup and people are pissing and moaning?
Sounds great!
Who did you think played well? I had Vrana, Ovechkin, and Djoos.Ok. Tonights game was much worse than the previous game.
Thats about all.
Maybe read the thread?Or we can talk about the actual play in this game? Who the hell cares about the MTL game last year? I’m not taking sides here but I don’t see the relevancy.
Holy over reaction Batman.Maybe read the thread?
The relevance is there is a narrative developing amongst some posters that last years team was exceptionally better despite a near exact record and roster, and that all of us knew it, I posted an old GDT to demonstrate that it looked exactly like this one.
What are you the posting police? If you don't see the relevance move on or report. Didn't realize I had to have all my posts certified by you before posting.
Stop comparing this team to last years team. This team is playing worse. Last year is over.Or maybe you didn't watch every game last season because this team was incredibly underwhelming in the regular season and the rose colored glasses is making everyone act like they were a wagon.

Ovi shouldn't have been Caps player of the game. Bad game by his standards. Not awful but quite bad.
Who did you think played well? I had Vrana, Ovechkin, and Djoos.
I think someone recently nailed it when they said the Trotz-Reirden combo is what was successful. We miss Reirden the defensive coach and Cashman is showing himself to be a poor replacement.I’ll love this team for forever. They won a Cup. I won’t ever think overall badly for any of the guys on the team last year.
However, this season I do see a major difference. So many things are worse than last year and the only thing that makes sense to that is coaching. At first I was thinking maybe it was being tired. But caps had over a week off during all star break and didn’t have a road game in a THREE week span. So when I see a game VS a team that has scored 5 goals last 6 games and caps give that up alone (while giving up 40+ shots VS lowest shooting team in league), I just think zero chance A Trotz team has that happen.
We’ve talked for basically entire season that it’s good the team hasn’t “turned it on” too early... but I don’t know if this team can do it with this system.
My main hope is just that the players decide to do their things come playoffs.
I trust the core players on this team 10x more than the coaches.
It’s nkt jsut Reirdon either. Trotz took MULTIPLE coaches with him to the Island...
I dunno. He didn't look good on the 2nd goal Ducks scored. Also his skating was off. Didn't have his jump tonight.Not sure what game you were watching. He looked engaged, scored his 40th, was shooting the puck, making hits, and had 1 or 2 other quality chances. Which player not named Ovi should of received player of the game?
