If I wanted to get fired mid-season, I'd do what AV is doing with the personnel. Baffling.

He switched the D pairings, which I like, but left McDonagh-Holden intact, which rather defeats the purpose.

Why don't any of our beat reporters question this clown about his personnel decisions? And please mention that Buchnevich is second in points on the team, I really want to listen his answer.

I have never wanted a coach fired more than I want AV gone. Every good thing he’s ever done is erased in my mind at this point. I’d rather the Rangers **** the bed for the rest of the season and this guy get fired then them make the playoffs. The hate is that real. No respect whatsoever for this hump.

It feels like the 2015-2016 season all over again. Too many utterly stupid coaching decisions by AV. Despite finishing with a good record(101 points) there was this general apathy that the season was pointless. Then Pittsburgh just flat out kicked their asses in the first round and confirmed it.

To sum it up that year:

Doing everything in my power to reverse-jynx this idiocy by stacking the Capitals in DraftKings. Every time I play Ovi, he never puts up more than 2 points. (Two DK points, not NHL points :) )

You're all welcome.

Woah, at least G has a house near Tampa now - he had some juicy turnovers in his career here. :)

Fwiw the caps play vs Boston tomorrow too and holtby always and I mean always beats Boston. Best of luck tonight! :)
We certainly need it this evening - most appreciated.

Continued Vesey lovefest is baffling

Yeah, Vesey & AV, I don`t know what he sees in him - I notice this since our first 5 games of the season when he was abysmal. And he must really enjoy part of Vesey game which I seldom see, and Buch on the 4th is also questionable.

I`m with @NickyFotiu too this holiday season concerning Nash & Zucc, I also felt it`s not ideal for us to have them both on the same line.


Anyway I can`t decide to go for a healthy Greek salad in a bit, or a steak later this evening, pls. help! :)

Second on the team in points.

Fourth liner.

Kill me.

The reason he's second instead of first is AV, as well.

Look at just about every statistic that measures efficiency in an area, and Buchnevich leads that for this team. And the ones he doesn't lead, he's like 2nd or 3rd.

Santa must have brought AV a Tom Renney Line Generator.

The guy who created the original generator is a customer of mine. We have had a few laughs about it over the years
