That’s an interesting comment. If his system didn’t work in Hershey, why would it work here? Is it the same system the Devils use, or are there some differences?

I’m with you. And instead, he’s going to the Flyers to crash the net for them…

Hockey is hell. Stop being a gentleman. Offer sheet Ryan O’Reilly.

Unless of course this is all part of the plan. Not Winnin’ for MacKinnon. Endure the Booin’ for Drouin. Get embarrassed by Markov for Barkov.

Can’t think of one for Lindholm.

Trading Knuble away was probably the singular worst decision GMGM made at the end of last season and for precisely the reason you discuss. Plus … no one could crash the net like he could. And … they aren’t …

Over the years I have learned that successful organizations are “learning organizations”. That is, if your employees are not getting smarter, then you are loosing ground. I don’t think any of our players are any better than the day they joined the Caps. And, of course, they have all gotten older. If the Capitals Organization can not teach their players to be better players today than they were yesterday, there is little hope of developing into a Cup champion.

This Is a very different caps team than last season player wise and there is very little chemistry present. I think that’s why the lower lines are succeeding where the starters are failing because they consist of the same guys from last year. It will take more than a week or two to build chemistry among these new lines. I also think a lack of leadership is another big issue. I’m a big ravens fan and more than the dominant force he is on defense, Ray Lewis is a phenomenal leader and I think that will be the primary loss they will encounter next season. You can’t put a price on leadership within a team and I think that’s something the caps are lacking. That’s why I was so sad to see Knuble go. You could see the impact he had when other caps talked about him just like when ravens talk about Lewis.
