I don’t think he’s enough of an alpha at times to really command his team The only coach I remember the Caps having that was an Alpha was Dale Hunter and possibly Ron Wilson from back in the day. Wasn’t Wilson the HC when the Caps went to the Stanley cup finals in 96? Never mind, Glenn Hanlin was the coach then.

I thought V made a really good play on the goal. He didn't have a lot of ice time, and there's some things we need to clear up in his game and get him reset."

The biggest issue with the capitals is their hall of fame player who’s one of the greatest goal scorers of all-time. It probably has nothing to do with all the loser coaches Ted keeps hiring. That's FIVE coaches you're blaming. Like I said, Hunter TRIED to get Ovi to play defense... and he took the Caps to within one game of an EC final. What that earn him? What did Ovechkin mutter about Boudreau? Maybe it was because https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capitals-insider/post/did-alex-ovechkin-disrespect-bruce-boudreau-after-benching/2011/11/02/gIQAnytYfM_blog.html?utm_term=.cf8ed266390f Two-thirds of his career wasted in terms of, you know, winning when it matters.

SeanTaylorsaPIMP Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 So why exactly isn’t Holtby starting? Did he have that bad of a regular season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But big Russian score lot goals. Grrrrr................... Oates was horrible, Boudreau was brought in to replace another horrible coach who was fired during the season and has had the same amount of success he had here everywhere else he’s been. Dale Hunter took a fast-paced team and tried to make them play slow. And to top it all off, he hired a guy who could never get past the second round to coach a group of guys who can’t get past the second round. So yes, he’s hired crappy coaches and his teams have paid for it. He’s also responsible for allowing McPhee to trade Forsberg. None of that is on Ovi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got over worked during the season because Trotz didn’t have Gruby play enough. When Holtby got overworked then he started playing poorly and Gruby replaces him. Gruby played well and Trotz went with the hot hand, but Gruby hasn’t been good this series. I think if they lose this game they’re crazy if they don’t start Holtby in game 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of capitals fans actually believe the teams problems all these years has been Ovi. They can’t win because of Ovi. Caps fans are delusional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Always root with your heart but bet with your head against DC folks. Gonna make a ton of money on the Jackets over the Caps in the series, just like I did last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Well, 54 stops by the BJs goalie. This game went exactly like game 1. They better get a total reversecof fortune when they go to Columbus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
