Why shouldn’t GMGM’s job be in question? Sure he gets some credit for Kuzya and Forseberg but those signings were no brainers. I agree Oates shouldn’t be held responsible, he is at a point where the obvious line pairings aren’t producing results so he has resorted to mixing things up and I don’t blame him for it.

Yeah because we all know the redskins are a shining example of rebuilding a team *cough*

hnic – I wonder what the answer is? Clear them ALL out and start over? Can’t do that. It seems to me we can see now that Semin wasn’t the cancer after all. My vote is for a new GM, clean out Green, Schultz and a few others, and a coach that can lay down the law. I am still hoping Oates can do it, but I don’t know…

“The Bruins are a better team than the Caps right now.”

A bit of an understatement.

I think there is just a nasty atmosphere in the Caps locker room, despite what the players may say. Many players in the past have been quick to leave, and Semin looks a lot happier playing for Carolina now. I’m not sure how effective Semin would be if he was still on this team as opposed to being in Carolina, but I guess we will never know. Hunter and Oates…..good coaches with a team of relatively bad players.

The line pairings are experimental, but under DH, at least he had Semin. The first line by committee thing clearly isn’t working. Where’s the replacement for Semin? Where’s the serious first line threat????

And where’s the mention of this referee bs? Locker and JoeB *typically* tend to stay neutral in their summation of play, but this is two games in a row Locker has shared about BLATANTLY blown calls again our opponents. Where the f*** is our damn justice?

I’m getting tired of hearing the same thing after each game => If Leonsis or GMGM are following anything being said outside of their offices they have to be aware of all the talk of change needing to happen. And honestly, if Oates wants to give all these guys a tryout with Ovi, let him => If Oleksy was a forward and shot left-handed, he’d be locked on the LW of the first line. Oates is looking for chemistry and heart, which is why Hendy gets time with them. Nothing has worked consistently for this team this season, so why do we keep talking about it? Ribs has his moments of awesome, but I felt he totally gave that third goal to Boston (3rd? I’ve been drinking. whatev). John Carlson showed us why we questioned him at the start of this sh*tty short season. Backstrom seems to be back where he belongs with Ovi, finally. And Chimera… well, perfect point in the post-game write-up.

I say we move on. Pull a Shanahan and focus on next season…

Statgeekapaloooza is not my thing. Maybe your (not you’re) argument is correct predictively. Time will tell.

“Classless” works for me.
