Comments on: Video: Caps Fans Mourn for the Good Times http://www.russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2012/02/22/video-caps-fans-mourn-for-the-good-times/ A cheerfully demented Washington Capitals site with a healthy fixation on Alex Ovechkin and his Russian bros. CRASH THE NET!

it royally by dumping of Gordo, Fleichman, Steckel, and Varly (maybe Brads, too). Bringing in Vokoun really screwed with the goalies heads and the capstone was firing Bruce Boudreau and replacing with Neanderthal Dale “Send me back to Juniors” Hunter. I’m so mad I’m starting to root for the opposition in hopes Ted will unceremoniously DUMP GMGM. 14 years in the drivers seat, coming oh so close; now looking like a no-show for this year’s playoffs. That is a FAILING record, Ted!! Too bad we can’t get David Poile back (he just signed for another 3yrs with Nashville). Go Sens!!

(Guess Kristofferson must be of Swedish heritage somehow.)

no offense to Hunter….but Boudreau was NOT the problem…now that everyone realizes that…its toooooooo late to do anything about it.

*sigh*
