Brutally Honest Description

Created by: OvisBabes
Team: 2019-20 Washington Capitals
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 10, 2020
Published: Feb. 10, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
This team IS NOT winning a cup with this defense or this coaching staff. Fraudulent excuse for a defense makes it look like Toronto levels of bad whenever I watch the Capitals try to defend nowadays. Holtby and Samsonov are constantly hung out to dry by the rest of the team as they stand by as the guys are taped up to the damn goal posts like they're Millhouse in that one episode of The Simpsons. Embarassing and it needs to change or it's a sweep in the playoffs for this team. It's not good enough against the Penguins, Islanders, Lightning, etc.

Caps are just losing to teams competing for playoff position with the Hurricanes, their bitter rivals, so they don’t have lose to them in the first round again.

If the caps can't goon they can't win.

No one wants the fines in the regular season. They will wait till the playoffs.
If we are being Brutally honest. I think the bottom 6 sucks.
Eller is the only guy out of the whole bottom 6 worth a damn thing. And that's really where the problems start.

Big facts to the second paragraph. You’re out to lunch in the first sentence. The caps 3rd line is just Lars Eller. It’s a joke. Leipsic can’t finish and Hathaway hardly does anything. And then there’s our defense who just looks totally lost. I don’t get it. Caps have glaring holes and it’s very obvious this year

To be fair...every year the Caps were expected to win the cup, they didn't. The one year nobody though they'd win, they did...

Doubt Severson is the one to improve your defending.

"Gooning", lmao. More a physical team than a "gooning" team, but okay. Sure, Wilson has taken it over the line in the past. He's been a different player since the 20 game suspension that was doled out at the start of last season.

The fourth line is okay at puck possession, but couldn't score on an empty net at this point. Hagelin should probably be on the fourth line on this team. Panik has looked better, but hasn't been scoring like we'd hoped. Like you said, Eller is the only guy in our bottom six that's worth anything at this point.

Caps need two things really: a third line, fringe top sixer to put on the third line with Eller to boost scoring depth, and a top four quality defenseman to pair with Orlov. Jensen needs to go somewhere. He's been awful, and it's looking more and more like Madison Bowey is the better defenseman than Jensen in that trade.

Scoring isnt the issue. I could care less about the scoring when your defense/goaltending is so far below average that it makes Toronto's actually look good. It's abhorrent.
