re: NHL Season Long Thread

I don't know what to feel. The Caps were the best team in hockey last year and the roster didn't really have any holes on it. They didn't even make the Eastern Conference Finals. This year's team, if anything, is even better.

They've got an elite goalie, one of the best players in hockey, ridiculous forward depth, a deep blue line, all-star caliber players throughout the roster, and a great combo of grit and speed. And all I can do is wonder how this team will break my heart this year.

And there's also the knowledge that so many players will be free agents at season's end. The window isn't necessarily closing, but this will be the last Caps team of this iteration. I'm just resigned to it. But what is there to actually criticize about how this team is constructed (also, the Metro, outside of the Caps and Pens, looks like it is going to suck).
