Negative fans are the worst. There is no shortage here

DMV, DeMatha, WCAC, Team Takeover it's all a good fit. 7ft+ I'm excited. Frank should help us get this dude.

The parity you see in the NHL is very unique. The salary cap actually makes it difficult to build and keep a "super" team. The expansion rules were favorable, but I don't think it's a coincidence McPhee is the GM who built both cup final teams.

VGK will have to kick it up a notch in order to match the level the Caps are playing at through 3 games.

Funny how you weren't serious but might end up being close to accurate for once in this thread.

Done talking about this choking nonsense. Good luck to your 'bres hopefully another top draft pick can get you out of the basement finally. You are in the easier division after all.

Yeah they lost a few they could have won, which made me dial it back a little. I had no desire to see what you jokers would have to say after those games. It was of course the totally not lazy narrative of "Caps are gonna choke". It is tough to close any team out and I should have given Tampa...

You overplay the choking aspect when you consider they lost in the 2nd round (due to playoff structure) and both times to the eventual cup champion. They were mighty close both times. Pens and Caps were the best two teams in the entire league the past few years. Sorry but it’s true. The caps...

I am obviously still jacked up from last night. But my instant analysis prediction is Caps in 6. Love starting the series and being the road team (8-2 on the road this playoffs). Love the fact that we have won our series in practically every fashion imaginable (down 0-2 to Columbus, lost game...

You mean the exact same stuff they were faced with last season? Team was not expected to be anywhere near this good going into the season based on who they let go. The whole organization deserves a ton of credit. I don’t agree with anyone who says the window is closing soon. I think the future...

What housecleaning? I hope you are not suggesting getting rid of Barry Trotz.

Please pick Vegas to win.

I would rather be competing for and winning president's trophies than being the perennial doormat the Sabres are. Past history in the playoffs meant nothing. This Caps team was written off by everyone to start the year, based on the team they had last year that couldn't get it done, and the...

Caps dominated play for massive stretches during the series. Demonstrated they were without question the better team. Glad some people were amused I was quite confident in a team and sport I know a lot about. They backed it up.

Too many teams in the nba. There are a max of three teams capable of winning. We had to get to this point to have any suspense of who is going to win. Congrats. Sick league.

The Caps are the most skilled team left and are incredibly well coached. We are going to win it this year. Sorry haters. We’re 3-0 without Nick Backstrom. Just pumped Tampa twice in their building. Refs gifted Tampa two power plays early in game 2 and they capitalized. Other than that, the...

If you were capable of giving the caps any credit at all I’d leave you alone. It’s too easy to troll in this situation. You catch that game last night? Caps were in complete control. Chased Tampa’s starting goalie. Pretty emphatic start to the series. Without Nick Backstrom lol but we just...

Caps in 5

Your track record in this thread is really something else. Everyone please continue to sleep on the Caps!

love the tampering angle :) gmac haha what a hater

Ok, I give you that. It doesn't change the fact there are a max of three teams capable of winning in the NBA? A one game NBA tournament might actually be pretty interesting to watch.

Ahhh, of course. They suck. Since the Caps ended up winning. Which huge pieces exactly?

Washington is still playing. Bruins are golfing. Leafs golfing. Caps just took out the pens with a bunch of Hershey Bears in the line up. Tell me more about our depth.

The bottom 4 teams in the east are all in the same division, the Atlantic. It’s really not difficult to see which of the two divisions is more competitive.

Lol no, Boston and Toronto were not better. When was the last time Boston has beaten the Caps? It’s been years. We freaking own them. You want to look at point totals and say one team is better than another, that is such bs. Get real.

Exactly. Was coming back here to make that same point. With three out of the top six forwards out, to take out a team that expects to win, is really unbelievable. People who hate on Barry Trotz don’t seem to get it. Everyone expected this team to drop off immensely from last year, and that has...

Suuuure... Two teams that have already been eliminated are better than a team that just took out the two time defending champs, in their building. Remains to be seen about Tampa but if Holtby keeps this level of play up the Caps will be an extremely tough out. Banged up and all.

Wouldn't want it any other way. Caps year.

NBA is a joke. There is zero parity. They should get rid of 8-10 teams and it would change the dynamic completely for the better. NCAA in a single elimination tournament there is a better chance than just the 2-3 favorites of winning. Sorry but the NBA is a joke. Look at Loyola... when has an 8...

There is less and less fighting in the game today. Virtually no fighting in playoff hockey. So I take issue with your claim that fans enjoy fighting more than or as much as the game itself. Fighting will always have a place in the game, as it should, in a game that is as physical as it is. If...

Vegas is for real. Hard not to root for them. As a caps fan they have our former GM (who was rightfully fired) and Nate Schmidt who is a great player and teammate. He is greatly missed. We were always going to lose a great player due to expansion. At the time the decision was whether to let...

Lol

Why are there even 30 teams in the nba? There are a total of three teams capable of winning. Sick league. Does not come close to the excitement level of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

One thing is for sure. We are definitely not trying to add anyone for next year.

It was literally the DAY OF the decommit. Why would anyone believe that we would not regroup and be exploring all of our options? I don't care if you have contacts. To be so adamant and so loud in every thread that day was utterly ridiculous. I get it, this place melts down from time to time...

Remember the day Bazley decomitted and we had a few on here so adamant that we weren't going to try to add anyone else? Fun times. People just love to panic.

Lol your takes are amazing.

Yes I think otherwise. As of 24 hours ago what was the trajectory? You already said you don’t blame the coaches for the decommit. Your opinion changes on a dime like that over one player making a very questionable decision? That is your perception.

Preseason rankings mean squat. But I think we have a roster capable of that, yes. My opinion.

Assuming no other surprises I would expect that to be next year...

Does coach get any credit or nah? I agree with you about getting more talent and having it stick around. We were preseason picked to finish what? 12th in the acc? We were one of the last 16 teams standing this year. I feel like we completely lost perspective. And no one wants to give the...

Sure. But we weren’t left out and we went on runs both times. Does that tell you anything?

If we continue to have success in the tournament then I think this panicking is completely overblown. Winning is all that matters. When the time comes for JB to pass the torch we will deal with what we have to then. And certain posters here will be thrilled our HOF coach moved on.

Final 4’s and sweet 16’s are evidence. But sure.

That’s your opinion and it’s all fair. I find it more enjoyable to have faith.

I don’t want us going after 3 dudes who aren’t worthy of playing at Syracuse just for the sake of it. That would satisfy some naive posters here though. I’m not freaking out because like you said, things can change. And I trust the staff knows what they’re doing. (Imagine that) The tone of...

Pretty obvious who that comment was for. Welcome to the thread you and Alsacs are doing a great civic duty for all of us. No one here should have any faith.

Lol. No one is saying all is well. Just because I choose not to freak out I must have blinders on. You are ridiculous.

I’m honestly just trying to help you bud... To me, we seem to thrive on adversity. If you want to be a doubter so be it. There isn’t enough of that already on this board.

For gods sake man it’s been 24 hours. I highly doubt any decision has been made. If we need to add someone we will try to do so. Marek came out of nowhere... the staff has shown an ability to get creative in tough situations. Let it play out. If you have no faith then you can probably find...
