James Tanner: Capitals Have Life After Double O.T Thriller

They played their best game in game #2. but there is an extra confidence when playing in front of Holtby

This series could/should? be 2-1 for the Caps, with Columbus winning last night.

BUT that's not how hockey works. I think they get Road Win 2.0 tomorrow and we reset the panic button. Do they win the series? I hope so.

Aside from that, Columbus will be scary for seasons to come based off that Panarin-Dubois combo.

Panarin was undrafted...amazing. Why did Chicago trade him for Saad exactly?

I only wish Caps had a Werenski ready to go, somewhere.

Chicago was in a poor cap situation and Saad was locked up at a decent price, while Panarin was and is due for a massive raise.

We thought we did, but Bowey struggled hard. I think Djoos should get some more ice time though.

It’s the entire site. Ek runs a crappy site and doesn’t care about feedback when it comes to quality.

^This. With some easy fixes he can make the user experience a lot better. But nothing is happening.

Exactly....in a poor cap situation because the front office overpaid 4-5 key players(Kane, Toews, Seabrook, Bickell, and arguably Crawford as well though he's not nearly as bad as the others) which added up to a massive amount.

This has greatly impacted the future of the organization, forcing the initial Saad trade, the loss of Teravainen, and the absolutely unforgivable loss of Panarin in exchange for the return of Saad.

Stan Bowman and the rest of the Hawks front office should be ashamed of themselves for derailing a budding dynasty with a series of stupid decisions. When you dig deeper there are other mind bogglers like the Sharp/Johns trade, the way they gave away Leddy for Pokka(an AHL caliber player), the way they handled Daley only to eventually trade him for Scuderi, the Danault trade, the Hjalmarsson trade, etc. What a disaster.

Lack of quality content, terrible/inconsistent moderating, the roomers aren’t just whimsical anymore, they’re asinine, a good chunk of people have been pwrmqbqnned and a lot of others have quit the site in frustration, the refs don’t listen to our complaints about which bloggers are bad, etc.

Add to that basic functionality, like quotes, only works about 50% of the time, like now...

Also, the ads that run on the website can be overly intrusive at best. I know when I visit from a desktop and the ads are showing, it bounces me from the header to the footer in quick secession, making actually reading the content nearly impossible.

If you click the number of comments on the main page, bypassing the article, quotes work every time.

And the ads are dumb. They’ve gotten better, though. I used to be redirected every 30-40 seconds. So we’re a LOT of people. It drove a crap ton of them away.

...I've only counted about 10 Capitals supporters on here ever. Usually (as the Pits bandwagon hits max speed) our threads get taken over by flightless-bird-lovers.

It is annoying, but a reality. Maybe if we win for once they'll torpedo away.
