The goal came the moment I was settling in with my nachos at Verizon Center. Coincidence? I think not. [...]

it feels like the capitals are the dallas cowboys of hockey.. and need regime change to a hard nose no bull kind of coach to really whip them in to shape and get this team to roll on cyclinders again

It has made me begin to dislike hockey little, simply because GMGM and whomever else is letting this team slide into oblivion right before our very eyes. WHY, I say WHY? I’m trained in “reading” people and there are some key indicators that BB has very little “genuine” umph behind any of his bleeping, bleep, bleep tirades. Find an FBI or other such agency micro-expression or behaviorists who diagrees with me and I’ll have one of Crosby’s babies!
Some of the guys on the team are losing their love of hockey and a miserable hockey player makes for some pretty miserable play.
I’m left wondering why I don’t drink – Oh, I get it, this is the Hockey Gods of telling me I’m a slacker and I should be the first one in line to try out that new bottom’s up beer giver at the V Center. Never mind everyone, mystery solved, the Washington Capitals just want us to drink more beer!

The upcoming five-game road trip will tell us a lot about what this team is made of, and whether they are capable and willing to back up their words with on-ice results. Talk is cheap; it’s time to walk the walk.

If anyone hasn’t already gone there, check out Peerless Prognosticator’s blog. His two posts yesterday include a spot-on recap of the game plus an entertaining (and painfully accurate) Caps/doughnuts analogy. I love Peerless for his insights and ability to make me laugh even in my darkest hours following a Caps loss. The old saying about how humor can and often does evolve out of tragedy is very true.

I think he’s a solid stay-at-home D. That presence allows Green to take more risks, which leads to more goals in the end. He doesn’t really directly add anything offensively so I feel his value isn’t appreciated. But everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Now the question is when will Teddy and GMGM get it?

Were these goals bad goals? In other words, did Boudreau blame the loss on Varly (“if you want to be a great goalie”) even though again, we can’t generate any offense and come out and play inconsistently each night?
