I propose the Presidents trophy winner just be handed the Stanley Cup.

That way the Caps might actually win one =(

I think they should just give the most media friendly team the Cup every year.

Penguins win!

Personally, I disagree, in the MLB it leads to some pointless end of the year games, but the start and middle of the year stuff is 10x more compelling. And also it leads to the playoff race at the end being a lot more interesting, because legitimately good teams that have a chance to win it all are fighting for the playoff spot, rather than teams that odds are, are just fighting to get eliminated in Round 1.


I still respectfully disagree!!! If only because the NHL is a much more level playing field than either MLB or NBA that a low-seeded team always has at least a chance. Think Chicago & Montreal last year, they brought the eventual Cup finalists to the very brink in the first round. I agree that 7th & 8th place teams in baseball would never have a shot against the likes of the Yankees and Phillies, but that's the nature of the league.

muffin is right about the NFL, I watched the Lions play meaningless games for 50% of their games last year!




I think you meant 100%

Or like 90% maybe if you count them playing the Packers or something

Also Bruins won three game 7s and they just happen to have possibly the best goaltender in the entire league so you can see where they'd have the advantage.

Vokoun is adjusting to being on a good team, give him a break... his past Nashville and Florida teams were leagues behind the Caps in quality, he's probably getting too comfortable compared to "oh god I'm on the Panthers oh god someone just shot on net I'm going to have 40 more of those tonight"

The Vokoun thing really has nothing to do with me being a pessimistic Caps fan, though.

I honestly just never thought the guy was particularly good, and that goaltending was one of the very few areas the Caps didn't need to improve in the off-season.

I also feel bad for Neuvirth and Holtby, I like them both and they're getting punished even though they didn't do anything wrong!

Hey, I wanted to get rid of him even BEFORE he gave up that goal!

Anyway, second period was a lot better. This really looks like a playoff game, complete with the second and third line players working a LOT harder than the superstars.

Man, if I'm Boudreau, I'm sending Ovechkin, Backstrom, Green, Hamrlik, and Vokoun to the locker room for the entirety of OT. They'll do the most good for the team by not being on the ice at all.

GREAT showing by the second, third, and fourth line. Unfortunately, the top five decided to play no defense whatsoever, and the goaltending was terrible.

Vokoun has never actually won anything. Sure, you can look at his ratios and say "Well he WOULD be winning if he played for a better team" but like, we don't really KNOW that. It's all just theory at this point.

By "won anything" I don't necessarily mean the stanley cup, but I have to imagine Vokoun's record is under .500 for his career, right? I haven't looked it up. I'll be impressed if I'm wrong.

It's barely under .500. Slightly hampered by Vokoun's status as the 1B starter in his rookie year for an expansion team that won just 28 games in both of their first two years in existence.

Ottawa surrenders the first goal again. They've been a lot better in this opening period, though. They haven't committed too many giveaways! (Karlsson has a pretty bad one, admittedly...)
