Southeast Division breakdown- Washington Capitals...
the Capitals are a very strange team to understand:they were tops in Eastern Conference,in total points(107),and President's Trophy winner,in 2010(tops in NHL),but they have imploded both years,in the playoffs(losing to Montreal,in 2010;first round,and losing to Tampa Bay,last season)... it is strange that the Capitals' website does not give you the access to the 2010-2011 season stats,at all... they really must be embarrassed by the play of the team,last year,because they went into last season,hungry for redemption,but they laid a bigger egg last season... they are a stranger mystery than the San Jose Sharks,because the team has talent to blow everybody away,and they even changed the way that they played,in the past,but they must be bigger whiners,and chokers than anybody else in NHL,because the organization has Alex Ovechkin,Alexander Semin,on offense,and Mike Green,on defense,who had scored 31 goals,in 2008-2009,as a defenseman,and was a finalist,for the Norris Trophy,that season,but has scored only 27 goals since then... total complete mystery to me,on how to rank this team,because they came out with guns all blazing,and then "boom",they implode,in the playoffs... Bruce Boudreau should be on hot seat,if Capitals do not go deep into playoffs,this season,because he is one of the best coaches,in the regular season,but does not seem to have a real clue,how to win a playoff series... unfortunately,Ted Leonsis is majority owner,and he is a real wonder,on how he became an owner in the NHL,because he totally has no clue,on how to build a real winner,in Washington... i feel very sorry for Alexandre Ovechkin,because he may be the best pure player,in NHL,and a real magician on the ice,but the front office,ownership,and the coaching staff has been inept,and impotent,in putting players,around,"THE GREAT 8",his league-wide nickname(with that,i totally agree),to give him a Stanley Cup,which if there is a player,in NHL,who deserves the stage that is the Stanley Cup Finals,to show off his amazing skills,it is him... as a rookie,he scored a goal,spinning on his back,against Phoenix,that may be the best goal highlight that i have ever seen,in my life...
