YAY! Been waiting for this one! thanks for the great content as always!
Good to see you back at home base!
I was pulling super hard for Washington to finally beat the Pens and win a cup. Took about 20 years, but it happened. Looking forward to a final Pittsburgh Washington playoff matchup in the first round.
Caps are trying desperately hard to keep the playoff window open for 1-2yrs for Ovie. The League is too good nowadays so I don't know how well that will play out…
I can imagine that Ovie will start becoming like Iginla at the end of his career, his numbers will start to decline next season…
Absolutely insane refresh pull. Love that super sick nasty jersey. The 90s Capitals jerseys are fantastic.
It was nice to see the Capitals actaully win the cup for once, and allow Ovechkin to be a cup winning player, since he deserved it. Just their bad luck I suppose that they had him in the same era as Pittsburgh had Crosby and Malkin (an iconic rivalry).
They have clearly declined since then, but not like they suddenly fell off a cliff. Now they'll have to get a new generation superstar to base their team around. (Or maybe they already have? 😶)
Wow I didn't realize they did such a great job at drafting especially with later picks
Chears Shannon. Its been 10 good years. I think i starting watching in 2017..? I definitely watched in 2018 because I still remember the videos from the Cup Final.
Will Ovechkin still be playing in 10 years? No, he's not Jagr. But it's been a wild time having him in the league. Looking forward to him no longer scoring at will on my team.
Caps squeezed a Cup with Ovi and that's good enough for me. Better, they're building a young team that might get another Cup. Happy for them.
The Caps have only made it out of the second round ONCE.
Crazy with all the talent they had (and still do)
Go Caps.
If Caps miss the playoffs this year, they need to take a long look in the mirror
As a Canes fan I’ll be rooting for the Caps to win the Prez trophy like the good ol days 😂
Bäckström is still playing in sweden.
Turned up the volume of this to drown out that god awful halftime show
Let’s go caps
technically – its not that they lowballed Barry Trotz. he had a preexisting extension clause built into his 5 year contract that covered the entire Stanley Cup window of that roster. yes he got the cup finally in the in the very last year, but it was literally a buzzer beater as far as his contract went. he didnt win multiple cups during his tenure to make it an absolute imperative to sign him back at higher money, which would have required the Capitals to break their own contract and set a precedent. they didnt "choose to lowball" him, they chose to not set a precedent of renegotiating their contracts. Trotz felt like he deserved more after winning the cup so he moved on and the Caps management found that decision totally understandable.
the situation wasnt just as simple as "he won you the cup, give him more money", there was extenuating circumstances that pre-existed the Cup win and made the situation a little more complex.
