There is a huge difference between elite talent and high end talent. One of Kessle, Malkin, and Crosby can take over any game. The only player the Caps have right now that can take over a game when they want to is Kuznetsov that's it. Superstars create the game around them. Ovi could do that at his peak. Backstrom has the ability to do it but doesn't for whatever reason. Oshie is probably the best depth player in the NHL but not a superstar or even a top 20 player.
Holtby let this team down this postseason, number 1 blame
I get it, But those players didn't take over the series. I'm just saying nothing anyone has pointed to positionally as wrong with the caps has felt true as a strength of the pens (in this series), except in goal. beside malaise, I don't know where else to pin this series loss.
