Still stunned …
It’s taken me two days to finally get over the absolute shock of seeing the Caps lose in the 1st round of the playoffs. Obviously, the better team won. But for all that the Caps did over the regular season they just laid a big o’l goose egg during the last three games. Just stunned. Montreal actually reminded me of the ’98 Caps when they went to the Stanley Cup finals. That ’98 Caps team had problems scoring but excelled in their defense and had a extremely hot goalie named Olaf Kolzig.
With such a big loss the question arises about changes. Ted has eluded to change. GM McPhee says Coach Boudreau has support of the team management. I like Gabby. He seems like a good coach who seemingly has made good mid-game adjustments but something seemed horribly wrong this series. Sorta reminds me of Pat Riley letting John Starks just chuck up three point shots even though he was just building an extension to MSG (Yes, it was raining bricks!) during the 1994 NBA Finals (That was the same NBA Finals that got interrupted by the OJ chase =). Besides the lack of adjustments, man did Green have a horrible game. HORRIBLE game. For all the offense the team has we’ve seen great defense and a hot goalie do the job just as well. Keep the O. Gotta retool the defense and really see if Varlamov is the next coming of Godzilla or not! Hmmm the Orioles don’t look so good either. 
- At least Laich was in a good enough mood to help out
- Just reading the comments you can feel all the HATE! B-U-R-N Baby B-U-R-N!
- There really is (sorta) an Olive Garden school in Tuscany. Too bad I’ve gotten food poisoning one too many times while eating at OG.
- Happy Meal without the toys = Not-so-Happy Meal
- This was just hilarious and yet sad at the same time.
- JIHAD!!!! (Sorta reminds me of my “All I need to learn in life, I learned from Star Wars” t-shirt)
- This story reminds me of when people thought the Mercedes Benz symbol was the same as the peace symbol.
