Tyler Johnson, Undrafted, 2 years in the minors, Spokane Wa.

Maybe he can show some of the Canucks how to go to the net.

What about the guy who set started the play in Ondrej Palat.

Guy gets drafted albeit as an overager in the 7th round, after a monster year in junior.

Nominated for the calder after like you just said 2 years in the minors.

Huge fan of Palat as well. Might just be the best line in hockey.

Wow - I did not see the Caps beating the Rangers but it looks very possible.

Same goes with Montreal. I thought the Habs would win it outright - it seems they'll be lucky to win one game, however.

Trotz putting the right guys in the right place and setting them up for success.

He has done a great job with the Uncoachable One.

AV is getting out coached again. IMO they have the best team going right now and are not going past this round. Coaching fail.

I don't think OVI has ever been uncoachable. A good coach play's to their best players strengths. Trotz is doing that. AV never could. Nor could Boudreau. I could go on but some A$$hole will come up with some stupid statistic saying otherwise. Much like face-offs statistics saying they are not important.

it's 3-0, so thanks for the groundbreaking assessment they're not making it out of this round. There are a lot of guys in that dressing room that are not AV, and he doesn't skate on the top 6 that are not producing scoring chances. It's never just coaching, simply put: Holtby, Carlson and Ovechkin are outplaying Nash, Mcdonough and Lundquist.

We had a few guys too . I remember the Kesler Grabner Raymond line looked dangerous , so we trade the rookie that scores 30 goals.

Even Jensen with his short stint with Hank and Burrows looked very good , but then we took him off that line and sent him back

We don't surround our young guys with proper talent.

I thought Vey had some good offensive skills so we surround him with Dorsett Higgins Matthias.

It is very hard for rookies to look good when you put them with scrubs

The puck was already lifting up, giving gap/white underneath


And this picture isnt timed properly, but the video shows the overhead didnt indicate it was in either

Thanks for providing me with the worst pictures of this horrid call.

No $hit. I have just decided I don't like you and you can go f@ck yourself. A good coach makes adjustments and AV never could. PS f@ck you.

Maybe those signings of Niskanen and Orpik weren't so bad after all.

I was always a fan of Orpik, Nisk I have always been on the bubble about. Washington is a solid team.

Vey.. you know how I feel. I want the kid to get a fair shake but he needs some work and his leash was to long.

I can't say I had them beating NY on paper but fully believe that if any team could its them. Even before Anaheim. NY was the team to beat to win the cup imo.

Grabner still pisses me off. He was just a throw in, Florida didn't even want him. Even though we've dealt bigger profile players, that was one of our worst trades.

No doubt he needs more time .

The point still remains our rookies should be surrounded by players that give them a chance to flourish not be playing with scrubs.

We have said here for years we have one top line and a bunch of bottom 6 . That needs to change, and it won't happen by taking Higgins off the second and moving him to the third.

A lot of teams don't have two top six centres, look at Anaheim, they didn't until they picked up Kesler last summer.

Watered down league.
