I dunno, Ovechkin seems to have more pride than that, but maybe if Oates isn't fired...

Honestly the Oilers could be a pretty good team next year. All we need to do is replace half our roster with good players.

Re-posting this here after accidentally posting in the Good Teams thread: http://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...052c_story.html quote:But entering this season, the organization made a fundamental shift in its goaltending philosophy. Get hosed Oates. "I never played D but I know D, so I know goaltending" is a mind-blowing quote, combined with Prior getting fired for not changing his coaching methodology while Oates still sticks with his retarded left/right bullshit and driving Erat straight out of town despite being a very good even strength guy. Oates is officially the worst coach in the NHL, worse than Hot Brains himself.

gently caress Adam Oates. EDIT: Well, gently caress GMGM too: quote:Even with persistent vacancies, the Capitals haven’t been able to find long-term solutions. According to multiple league sources, that can be attributed partly to what they describe as McPhee’s adversarial relationship with player agents, whose grievances include his refusal to communicate with them directly and limiting their postgame access to clients.

Good lord that article is damming. There's no way those two assholes don't get fired is there? e: hah quote:While disgruntled, Erat wasn’t wrong. He saw less even-strength time per game than every player on the roster except Tom Wilson, Jay Beagle and Aaron Volpatti, and never skated a game at right wing, which was the position he played predominantly throughout his 12-year NHL career.

There is no way they aren't both gone. They don't even have to fire GMGM, his contract expires at the end of the season.

Lou basically said today that he tried to resign Parise for two years before he left but ownership hosed a lot of it up and that he would try to sign Schneider/Greene to extensions this summer so that's a good sign.

Are sports commentators paid to ignore what's actually wrong with the Capitals and just spout off random crap that's observable false? Wrong thread but question remains.

Hey Corey, you can come back to Vancouver man - we're getting a new GM, and (probably) a new coach and we promise this time will be different baby, we've changed, we swear! What? No we don't have 2 backup goalies that we're trying to turn into #1's, don't be irrational.

The Coyotes finally had their ownership bullshit resolved only for Shane Doan to get a potentially life threatening disease and Mike Smith to get injured during the final playoff push after playing his best hockey of the season. Ribeiro had a disappointing season but was still 4th on the team in points. Yandle lead the team in points and had a good season but he needs a defensive anchor to play with like Michalek. Him being paired with a completely washed up and lovely Derek Morris reduces his effectiveness. Maloney needs to get top 6 players and a 2nd pairing defensive dman somehow. Free Agents: Vrbata, Moss, Bissonnette, Halpern, Morris, Greiss Restricted Free Agents: McMillan, Summers If Vrbata is used as a 2nd/3rd line guy he's alright but his disappearing act gets old so if he wants to get megabucks I wouldn't be broken up if he finds them elsewhere. Bissonnette is a good energy/locker room guy and should've got more ice time this year. Summers should be kept, he's a better 6/7 guy than Schlemko. Greiss is an average back up that lets in too many soft goals, would be okay with him staying for cheap. Morris needs to go far away and McMillan doesn't belong in the NHL.

Not a single member of the Florida Panthers hit 40 points this season - not even Versteeg, who was traded to Chicago in November. Brad Boyes just barely cracked 20 goals with 21 on the season to lead the team. Even Buffalo managed two 20+ goal, 40+ point scorers (Hodgson and Ennis). Amazingly, though, Buffalo was still just that much worse, since they're guaranteed to finish the season averaging fewer than 2 goals per game, whereas Florida managed nearly 2.4.

Devils are about to extend DeBoer, as they should. Great system hosed over by shootouts and lack of finish. I think Lou isn't loving around considering they are talking contract when the team hasn't played its last game yet.
