Then why didn’t you write that? And I don’t think he could have been retained anyways. So much wrong with this point. Why not just go edit it?

Listen – there’s a lot of Ovie hate going on right now. I don’t really know what the answer is, but it’s not negativity, I don’t think.

I don’t think that he should be captain, but at the same time, I think that stripping him would be pretty catastrophic.

I’m not sure what the answer is to increase his production (the league had multiple years to learn his tendencies – I’m not convinced that last year every NHL defenseman became magically impervious to his mojo), but I don’t think that constant criticism will help things. Let’s just keep cheering, and hope that this coaching change was for the best.

“Repeat: Stop it. Pick a D and commit. That, or just go home.”

AMEN.

It’s a shame that GMGM has already tied Hunter’s hands behind his back on one of the most important issues: Ovechkin’s captaincy. The decision to have Ovie as captain has never really made sense. But to publicly state that the new coach won’t have a voice in who serves as captain? It doesn’t inspire confidence.

The Caps have let lazy, undisciplined play stand for far too long (hi, Sasha!). Hunter will need to change the culture, but I hope he has the backing of management. Bruce has tried different systems, but he lost control of his stars and it affected their play. Stand-up guys like Brooks Laich have had to grin and bear it for far too long. Let’s hope this is a change for the better.

Even if GMGM wielded the ax, we all know whose hands made the swing. Someone who is capable of deep sixing the team by standing by in a snit while opposing players make goals.What kind of captain is that?What kind of person is that?Good luck, Mr. Hunter and watch your back.

In addition to diva, Ovi now has won the sobriquet “coach-killer.”
He’s got a lot of work to do if he wants to rebuild his reputation. Actually, most of the Caps have blood on their hands over BB’s canning, but #8 has the biggest stain.

If you allow someone’s contract to expire, what do you call that?
