Except it's nothing like that. Die-hard Caps fans? Does that even exist? You guys give up on this team when they're down a goal in the first period in October. "Gawd seesons over **** mcfee ovechkinz a jokez lolz".
Some of you suck as fans on this board. Face it, we're that bandwagon team that people hop on when we win, and no one gives two ***** when we're losing.
As far as how they make me feel? I still have hope in this team. Our roster isn't what it was a few season aho, and I ****ing HATE Mojo. But we're still a playoff team, and we still fight tooth and nail for points. I think with Kuznetzov playing a whole season next year, and a few moves in the off season, we can jump back up to where we were.
I'm split on McPhee. You're not going to find someone that makes ballsier moves that actually work out. Sure he's made mistakes, but he's done some great things too. Everyone likes to just blame anyone who hasn't been blamed yet. Blame the players. Blame the ones who don't show up. I don't see why he should be out of a job, but there's definitely a few things he needs to fix. And those of you talking about a rebuild? Seriously? Look at the core we have, we on earth would we ever just sell all of that? The defense is finally coming into it's own, our goaltending is above average, we just need depth. Like every other ****ing team in sports.
For the most part, we have depth. We have Dustin Penner playing on the 4th line. We have a goalie in the AHL who played wonderfully for us this year. Our 3rd line is amazing.
We need high end talent. While the kings of the league have 1, 2, 3...5 "all star" players, we have like 2 or 3. Blackhawks? Kane, Toews, Sharp, Hossa, Keith, Seabrook. The Penguins have 2 MVPs. The list goes on. What do we have? A powerplay specialist and a center who can't score.
We need a goal scorer and a shutdown-capable defenseman, perhaps like Alzner. Those guys aren't easy to find, nor are they "depth guys". They are major pieces. We are missing them, and that's precisely why we are on the outside looking in.
Maybe Kuznetsov can be "that guy" offensively, but I see him and Mojo as being repetitive. I like Mojo, but we need to move him and just put Kuznetsov at center. I don't know how that affects Grabovski, but Kuznetsov is clearly a center. Develop him as such. We are sorely missing that 1-2 center punch that Pittsburgh always crushes us with. If Backstrom and Kuznetsov can carry lines down the middle, and put Ovechkin with whoever he meshes better with (probably Kuznetsov), this team will be far more dangerous offensively.
