Stanley Cup Playoffs 2010

Caps defense needs to get way better if they want to win the Cup...defense still wins championships. They need to finish the Habs tonight. We deserve a Champion in DC.

Yeah we do need to improve our defence in the long run. I think we're making the right moves by bringing up big John. But for now, the caps motto is "we're going to score 5/6 goals, can you?"

So far this mentality has worked. I mean, you cant really argue with the best overall regular season record...and it was by a landslide.

That's the kind of mindset that gets you beat. The deeper you go into the playoff the better the defenses get....WTF are they going to do when they can't score 5/6 goals? They sure as shit won't have a good enough defense to stop the other team from scoring.

Ok, take it easy buddy. My point is that its a little late now to worry about building up a good defensive corps. We have to work with what we have - a high powered offense, on/off goal tending, and a so so defence.
