Unfortunately, now comes the time for someone like me to come in and start defending Ovechkin more. Now that he's considered to be useless and have no value and all this noise, now I can take to his side in faint attempt to balance out the hockey universe...as he has finally been brought down a few pegs...

I had heard Gretzky's name tied to the Caps as well...maybe it'll be like when Jordan came back and played for the Washington basketball team...

Are the Caps struggling in ticket sales? Not sure why anyone would need a PR move like 99 taking the reigns unless they needed to get a name in there

lol! being a "gamer" doesn't make you the best player. I'd say Toews is the best post season player but you have to get there first in order to be effective in the post season.

A does not necessarily equal B, but I've heard Kypreos say the Toews > Sid comment more than once.

Crosby is definitely the best regular season player in the league.

I disagree in that I do not think that Ovechkin is going to play any differently no matter what changes up top. New coach, new GM, ne ownership.... Ovie is going to be Ovie. And if he can get away with it, the rest of the team will follow down the rabbit hole with him.

Honestly they shouldn't have let Bruce go imo.
