Firing BB was a big mistake. BIG. HUGE! I have to go shopping now…

You don’t allow players to have enough pull to get a coach fired… especially when that player (looking at you Ovechkin) isn’t even playing well. Someone needs to give him a dose of “reality” because clearly he’s living in “rockstar fantasy land”.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?! I think Dawn and I ran into each other yesterday and had a Freaky Friday exchange. I’ve been biting back the “Trade this piece of s*%$” comments all season (well, not from Gator) because I don’t like Ovi anyway, and I’m biased. But when Dawn says it… well, who else has sweatpants with OVECHKIN across the ass?

I know how hard it is for Dawn to say this. But she’s right. It’s not the same as the Flyers trading Richie and Carts away for partying, but it’s close. If you don’t care and you don’t put the team first, you don’t stay. Ovi has saved himself marginally by delivering huge OT game winning goals (and for that we thank him), but it’s not enough. If he had his heart in the game, the Caps wouldn’t have to win like that.

PS: He can take Sasha Fierce with him, I’m sick of that jerk.

Agreed. You know it’s bad when Ovi is trying to steal the puck from his own player. The “C” has not been earned by Ovi. Totally agree that Brooks has deserved being captain. I’ve thought that since 24/7 aired.

Let it out!, your totally right on the whole issue. Every time I watch a Capitals game he is always acting like a 2 year old instead of a 26 year old, can’t shot worth shit anymore, he doesn’t deserve to be captain. Give it to someone that works his ass off for the team and is a team player. That needs to stop or he’s going to lose every single fan he has. And possibly his job too.

Thank you. I love Ovi but someone with more clout needed to sit him down and say, “Kid, you’re good but you’re not THAT good and here’s the deal, pull it together or go back to Russia because that attitude doesn’t fly here no matter how much money is on the table. Or we’ll trade you to a shithole team if you have such a huge problem with Boudreau. Now hand over that “C” because Brooks Liach already has his needle threaded. 🙂 I think they would have been in a better play off position. But unfornately, there is no wayback machine.

I agree with every single word you said, and I am sick to my soul about it.
