I enjoyed this regular check as well. https://twitter.com/Capitals/status/849791277927452672 At least they're not limping into the playoffs this year, but I am getting nervous as the playoffs get closer.

CBJSprague24 posted:StubHub is showing that first round tickets for the games in Columbus are significantly more expensive than in Pittsburgh. Caps are even cheaper right now: https://www.stubhub.com/washington-capitals-tickets/performer/762/ I hate doing the playoff ticket dance. Do you wait for the elimination games? Do you hold your money for later rounds and risk not going to any games? How many games do you go to? What if you're a jinx? $50 is basically regular season prices though. I guess I should go in early.

Oh and for cord-cutters like me who were eyeballing Playstation Vue for playoff watching: it works really well. I get NBC Sports and CSN Atlantic, which I think should keep me covered for the playoffs? Quality is a big step up from lovely streams on reddit.

Went to the Caps-Cats game... I feel like this was a preview of what happens when Oshie leaves and it made me sad. But then I saw Jagr's glorious mane and all was right with the world again. Toronto pulling the lucky card as our first round opponent was neato too.

flakeloaf posted:https://twitter.com/MartyBannister/status/862483125422698497 The will to win argument is definitely bullshit. I think you can definitely make an argument that his performance as a player has deteriorated and that his style of play does not age well. He lost a step on the rush years ago and at least on the eye test he's taken steps back in terms of possession. He still has value as a stationary cannon that you can use on the powerplay and in certain 5v5 situations. And I don't disagree that his contract is going to look pretty awful on the tail end, but that's what happens with blockbuster contracts. The people calling to trade him though are just idiots. He's still a lovable face for the franchise and also who the gently caress is going to trade for him? And to what end? They've traded enough picks and young guys at this rate that it's going to be years before they get the next generation of top-line guys through.

Mind_Taker posted:They're going to have to make changes though due to all of their expiring contracts. Yeah I wish they were in a better position to do what the Penguins do and just load up on cheap young players and fire them out there next to the vets, but their pipeline kind of sucks after all these "win now" decisions the last few seasons. They'll probably be mostly the same but not as good, trailing off in the next couple years. Odds aren't as good to get anywhere, but hey, sometimes you get lucky and a team will trade you a Phil Kessel for peanuts.

Burakovsky looked like he belonged when he was playing on the top line against the Penguins. So I don't think they NEED Oshie, but boy would I like to see them find a way to keep him. Such a good two-way guy and he and Backstrom work incredibly well together.

Mind_Taker posted:I think it's fair to question Trotz's abilities as a coach especially in the playoffs. He's been terrible at adapting to the opposition's strategies and is often slow to make changes. He tried to play run and gun with the Leafs for 4 games, failed to recognize Orlov and Niskanen were his best pairing until the middle of the postseason, stubbornly left Ovechkin and Backstrom together for almost the entire season despite them not having chemistry any more, played 7D despite 2 of them (Orpik and Alzner) being garbage, healthy-scratched Nate Schmidt despite him being probably their third or fourth best D all season, failing to adapt to the Penguins' counter-attacking strategy until it was too late, etc. I mean, at least with the Leafs it def. felt like if they just played their game they were going to come back and win, which they did. But he was definitely exposed in Game 7 against the Penguins. I'm too dumb about real hockey strategy to even know what he did, but they got shut the gently caress down and had 0 answers.

I love Oshie's two-way game so I'm just going to be happy about that deal for how it makes the team look for the next 2-3 years or so and willfully ignore the rest of the term. I mean, who even knows if I'll be watching hockey anymore in 2025? Maybe I'll be dead.
