Ja så är det ju.
Såg ju förra säsongen när de va klart Edmonton missa slutspelet. Då gjorde McDavid 28 poäng på nån månad eller va det va och rykte i poängligan.
Hade vart sjukt intressant att se McDavid i ett bättre lag. Jag personligen tror han skulle kunna nå runt 140-150 poäng under perfekta förhållanden. Dock brukar inte folk va benägna att hålla med mig här😏
Jo svaampenn, jag håller med dig. McDavid i ett top 5-lag hade varit något att be till gudarna om.
Vill dela med mig av en helt annan sak som jag läste i div kommentarfält i Washington Post efter att Caps började gå kräftgång. Nu har dom iofs börjat resa sig igen men intressant att höra reaktioner från fans betr svårigheter vid tränarbyten och B2B SCs.
"Bear with me" ni som inte är intresserade av Caps, hur man nu inte kan vara det 😏:
"Trotz was nearly fired twice during the 2017-18 regular season and understandably wanted a five-year, $20 million contract after winning the Cup, which made some members of the Capitals’ hierarchy uneasy.
Coments from readers:
- The players miss Trotz and they miss Korn and Lambert, the two assistants that Trotz took with him.
- Why isn't Joel Quenneville coaching this team - he is an elite version of Barry Trotz
- LOL well let's see, Leonsis let Trotz go because he didn't wanna pay him $4M/year for the next 4 or 5 years. Coach Q (Queneville) was making $6M/year when he got fired. Do you think he would come here for $2-3M/year or Leonsis would suddenly open up his wallet and do something he has NEVER done before?? I think either scenario is highly unlikely.
- Trotz has the capacity as a leader to get his team to follow his system. This is evident by the first place perch NYI occupy in the Metro
Rierden does not.
so in the absense of a context to play within, Caps become followers of the flow of the game which is being driven by the opponents
- I desperately miss Beagle
- It begins and ends with defense. Where is it? No defensive structure currently - that my friends, is the main problem. Holtby isn't playing great, but he's getting shell shocked every game. They need to commit to defense, or they're going to be in real trouble
-This is a team that is overly reliant on too many older players over 30 and young players with only two or less years of experience. Right now, just enjoy Ovie’s pursuit of another great scoring year and let the youngsters get more experience. It would be great if they make the playoffs and actually ‘turn it on’, but if not, they are still Champions to this city!
- .trade to get Beags back...our zone clearing is horrible right now. Orlov has been horrible lately....
- This Caps team is an unusual team. There is a lot of talent here. But there is also an undercurrent of arrogance and lack of attention to detail among some of the clubs players like Kuznetsov, Eller, Orlov, etc. that a hard nosed coach like Trotz kept in check, no matter how ungainly it seemed at times with players and coaches bickering.
- A large portion of this has to be the hangover from winning a Cup and the effects in the following season. This makes the Penguins back to back Cups look even more impressive as an accomplishment",
