ParticipantBriere said the team overachieved up until January 6 and underachieved since then. He believes the reality is somewhere in between.
The reality is closer to the .600 team before January 6. They have to move away from Errson and his league worst save percentage. At least this year, it’s one awful goalie instead of three. They need another guy there. They also need another top 4 Dman.

yes its me 2050ParticipantWHY? Caps on a back to back with a 3rd string goalie.
and still outplayed the Flyers. Vladar made several 10 bell saves and, if i recall correctly, the caps missed an open net.
The Flyers are most likely going to end up outside of the playoffs and outside the top 5 picks but this should help that comcast gate revenue.
DB looked absolutely thrilled to have to give a pregame press conference defending his coach. The win bought them some more time. I was kind of hoping for OT there in the 3rd.
really hope they get a pick in the 10-14 range as that is what they deserve. Then pick the next jett luchenko.
the fact this GM seems lockstep with the coach at this stage is hysterical. Danny is a clown and in over his head. miscalculated and mismanaged almost everything. What on tocchet resume screamed out he is who we need to coach this team.
on a positive note, it will be funny seeing Risot not play in a playoff game again this spring.

yes its me 2050ParticipantThey need to learn how to play from the Christmas break to the Trade Deadline… that’s the time period everything goes off the rails and sinks the season every year, and this season was no different.
Last three season? Yup. This year is inexcusable though. They didn’t dump (Frost/Farabee was a dump), have the league suspend or trade players.
No matter what excuses are put forward, it has happened multiple seasons. I’d say the problems run deeper than injury or trades.
yep lack of talent and average at best coaching. team just isn’t that good and the standing reflect that.
the early “success” is a mirage. after the 1st couple months teams then ramp it up and are playing with more urgency as the games get tighter.

yes its me 2050ParticipantHard to believe they won tonight. Vladar is team MVP. When he’s not on top of his game they have no chance.

Top off season priority clearly is finding another goalie. Vladar has a .650 win pct. Ersson’s is .456.
