re: MSB Season Long Hockey Thread

I know. I feel really good about this year. Let's put it like this: everyone agrees the Bruins and Rangers are among the best teams in hockey, and the Caps essentially played them to a draw in last year's playoffs. And that's with playing Ovie for only 13 minutes a game for some bizarre reason.

Dale Hunter is one of my all-time favorite players, and I think it's good he came in to teach the team some defensive responsibility. He just took it way too far and completely stifled the team. If this team can just open up slightly and still remember to play defense, it should be pretty damn good.

And that's the big thing. Once Orlov gets healthy, the Caps have an awesome blueline corps. Put that with their best goalie since Olie, and I feel more comfortable letting the offense go. I just want to see Laich get healthy so we can reunite the CLAW line.
