    Did someone in the organization tell Ovi to treat this season like a golf tournament? -35 is good enough to win almost any major

    I did. It did a great job of providing a narrative to what could be perceived as a dozen separate "WTF? " moments.

    EDIT: It makes me wonder, by the obvious scorched-earth nature of this piece, if she knows that both McPhee and Oates are dead-men-walking...

    A brief summary? She goes over who's possibly to blame for the Caps missing the playoffs.

    Take 5 minutes and read it. It's a good piece from a solid NHL writer.

    Really solid article. Scathing but doesn't come across as mean or untruthful just a matter of fact this team is screwed up beyond belief.

    Ovi will get his 50+ goals and 80+ points, but leading a team to a Cup - just don't see it.

    How about blaming everyone in the organization.

    That's pretty much the Coles Notes version...

    Good article... the Caps could be interesting if the right people are fired/hired.

    Thanks for sharing, Axeman. Some really good info on the Holtby / goalie-mechanics situation going on in Washington right now. I'd imagine that might be playing at least a small role in Halak not wanting to sign there. Seems like a weird organization in many respects.
