Yeah this is just inexcusably bad. Do you guys think Boudreau should be fired? I do.

I like the guy and I was really hoping he could get it done here, but I 100% agree that this is completely inexcusable. This team had absolutely no reason not to be fully prepared for this series; I don't even care that they're going to lose it, but to do so in this fashion means that heads need to roll.

McPhee has handed him arguably the most talented roster in hockey for the past 3-4 years, and Boudreau has failed to get past the second round. To get swept in that fashion.... Adios, Bruce.

Sloppy line changes, bad penalties, awful special teams, and just an overall lack of focus. That points to coaching in my book. He's done. He's got to be.

Well, what can I say. Good season.

I think Boudreau is canned. He's finished. This is probably one of the best places to coach hockey, so hopefully we'll get someone solid to fill the ranks.

I love Boudreau, but we've been consistently out couched in the playoffs. Our PP was shut down. Our PK was worthless. We looked confused, undisciplined, and leaderless.

Stuff like too many men on the ice calls- get real. The Tampa 1-3-1 zone, we had no answer to. Instead of penetrating the zone, we let their forechecker either funnel our guys to the boards, or dump it in. I mean, that's what it's designed to do... but Boudreau had no answer.

All in all, I love this team...and I love our talent top to bottom. Neuwirth looked good (not spectacular) between the pipes, and we're fine at Goal. I doubt once again that GMGM addresses goalie in the off season.

Good season Caps fans... and like must of us in DC are used to. Their is always next year. Time to switch gears full-time into Redskins mode.

I wouldn't say good season. I'd say good REGULAR season. With the talent on this roster, we need to make a seriously deep playoff push- like Eastern Conference Finals at worst, for me to call it a good season.

this post season was an epic failure, we got swept losing the first two at home, the only glimmer of hope is it wasn't in the first round. i really don't know where to point the blame cause there is a lot to go around. more so than i am with the coaching i'm done with semin and his no show in the post season, every god damn year he shuts it down, it's like he is done playing hockey for the year when the post season starts. ugh so depressing...

Yeah, and like I said back in October, the Caps are past the point where regular season should even matter

Leonsis' whole be patient and rebuild is admirable, but enough is enough. Time for change
