Nhl 2013-14

Season seems so long after the partial lockout last year, but glad to have the puck back in my life. Although I am not sure I like the style of play Oates has the Caps running right now...a little more D would be nice!

I also like the new divisional alignment. I was sick and tired of the south division champ coasting into playoffs in a weak division and getting their butts handed to them each year.

Agreed on the divisional realignment. Adds more meaning to the rivalries... but definitely going to be a bit tougher road to the playoffs.

This years team I'm unsure on. Our defense is still suspect... so we need to ask our goalies to step up yet again and play well enough to steal some games.

I've already been to a game this year, and it was a great time. Excited for another season.

Lets go Flyers! Beat those caps!

Yep.

I'm disappointed in our moves we made at the trade deadline. Ignoring our lack of d is going to be the downfall of McPhee. Goaltending hasn't been great but that's usually the case when your d hangs the goalie out to dry. If we can't beat an 8 seed like Philly we don't deserve to make the playoffs. Playoffs mean nothing when you never advance anyway. Maybe if we miss them this year we can restructure the organization around someone who places the same emphasis on defense that they do on the forwards.

Couldn't agree more. That game last night was atrocious to watch. Our Defense just flat out sucks. Upgrade our goalie? Are you kidding me? What a joke.

Team isn't going anywhere until we regain some fundamentals on defense.

Yep. Joke of a game to watch, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's how we play for the rest of the season. The window is closing. We should have gotten rid of Mike Green while he was still worth something. I like Oates but if he's part of the problem he needs to go too. It definitely starts with gmgm though.

I'm looking forward to watching Kutz's debut for the Caps tonight. Four years in the making, he might be our only bright spot in this dismal season.

Very good start to his career especially the game against Vancouver. It is evident watching the flyers-pens series this weekend that the caps are not a playoff caliber team
