It was a very exciting season i do hope the Capitals have better players next season.

[@bbarta2588]

The capitals achieved something that is almost impossible. They retooled their team on the fly to help Ovey become the leading goal scorer in NHL history.

[@thewizardofoz511]

And what did you guys gain as a team from all of tht?

[@RebeccaCrotti]

Sad to see us get swept😢 everyone was injured

[@ХКАЛЬБАТРОСг.Армавир]

Thanks, caps!

[@thewizardofoz511]

You should be thanking Brttman tbh

[@Mattejayy]

Hell of a season

[@MrRedneckcrazy]

Huh? Compared to?

[@Mattejayy]

@@MrRedneckcrazy we sold at the deadline and made the playoffs

[@mikaeljohansson101]

@@Mattejayy This. It should not be understated how much this team overperformed this season relative to injury issues, plummeting veteran production and roster changes. It would be interesting to know the last time a team traded away three members off their main roster without getting a single roster player back in return and still making the playoffs.

[@ricksears3330]

We need Stamkos. That would be a great addition

[@IraSilver-sp9sw]

Considering being swept in 4, a surprisingly joyous interview.

[@MrRedneckcrazy]

RIGHT! 👍🏻 Like what's so damn funny?

[@romanborris7919]

we weren’t supposed to make it… it was a successful bad season.

[@markus-fo2op]

we were supposed to blow, tank, and rebuild, and just let ovi farm goals. that should have been the gameplan, so it's just a pleasant surprise to be in the playoffs with zero expectations.

[@thewizardofoz511]

That's how losers behave😅

[@thewizardofoz511]

​@@romanborris7919you're the most realistic caps fan I've came across at least 😅

[@TPGRiT]

Not sure how we can go 2-2 against the Rangers in the regular season but get swept in 4. I kept hearing from the announcers they were going to leave it all out on the ice. Personally, I didn't see any fight from the Capitals in the playoffs. It was a very poor performance. Very sloppy and rookie mistakes. This is going to very extremely unpopular. I really want Ovechkin to break the scoring record, but I also want to win games. I think we need a leadership change out on the ice. Someone that will inspire the team and push them to win games. I don't see that from Ovechkin. It is sad because I am a fan and want him to break the record but I have to be honest with my thoughts.

[@markus-fo2op]

injuries inexperience and overall the rangers trying harder. Ovi is 38 and regressed this year, no point in being mad over a playoff spot we barely got through divine intervention

[@TPGRiT]

@@markus-fo2op I am not mad about it. I fully expected to lose in the first round. However, I think we could have got at least one win out of it. I just didn't see any fight from anyone out on the ice. It was almost like they wanted to lose and start their vacations early. I like Ovechkin but he is basically a log out on the ice these days. Again, I want him to break the record but I don't' want to sacrifice the team as a whole just for him to achieve that goal. That is what is happening. I anticipate us losing at least the next 2 season while the team works for him to break that record.

[@markus-fo2op]

@@TPGRiT seems more to be a conscious coaching effort, carbery didn't let them goon it up (even after we took several dirty hits) I agree there was no pushback but it's not really about the gm

[@MrRedneckcrazy]

​@@markus-fo2op considering he's sitting here laughing about the whole situation when it's not funny is the part that we don't like. Plus have they paid Trotz none of this would have been an issue we would have lost and looked better doing it

[@markus-fo2op]

@@MrRedneckcrazy 99% of the video he's entirely serious. Trotz asked for 5 million which would make him the highest paid coach in the league even today, doesn't seem like a price you ask if you want to stay in washington.

[@confdenhaag]

TAMPA IS NOT DOING A GREAT WORK WITHOUT STEVE YZERMAN AS WELL.

[@nickerickson6019]

First here

[@TridentLandStudios]

Another year, another first round playoff exit. We all have been calling it , so do something about it. Fire GMBM

[@MrRedneckcrazy]

What is so damn funny? Nothing to laugh about.

[@romanborris7919]

Dude… we’re supposed to be a bottom feeder team, but made the playoffs. Pretty good season considering our roster, projections, and expectations. Would have rather done worse so we get a higher draft pick.

[@confdenhaag]

OH........ I MISS MC PHEE
