no, he just doesn't understand the meaning of clutch.

I don't think you can put this series on him. He showed up. Just didn't have an all out stellar performance. I don't think anyone from either team did desu

>>75837734
nah of course it's not on him alone, everyone played horrible in game 7. Thought holtby was very subpar in the whole series sans a few bright moments, but it's still a team loss.

yeah...holtby only showed up in the 3rd of game 5. played game 6 stellar until the last 5 minutes. Got beat game 7 twice on the same shot. Aside from the Redskins back in 1200 or whenver the fuck....D.C. is kinda fucked when it comes to sports titles. It'll be about 20 years before the Caps actually win one at least.

Caps problems extend beyond a bad def pair, an under-performing goalie. The failure is endemic and systematic. It’s the result of choices fanboy owner Leonsis made in 2004 when he decided his business model would be not building a winner but servicing a marketable megastar. There’s nothing wrong with building a team around a star, but it has to be the right kind of star. Ovi just isn’t the “win first” type. I’ve known Ovi since he was 17. Kid was born with a silverware set in his mouth. Always told he is the greatest, teammates must be worthy but his demands on himself stay the same. He’s not the bloodied inspirational leader. He is the tousled-hair sexy charismatic ruffian. Yes, he’s the NHL’s favorite stripper who’s been giving the hockey world a lap dance for 13 years. Sorry, but the length of your erection hockey world, is unhealthy by now. You need to face the truth: the Caps personality-cult culture is counterproductive to winning the cup. Fueled by innumerable fanboy blogs and media whipped into terrified subservience by Caps PR, the culture feeds on self, kills all dissent, and spurns all criticism. You know, Caps fans, that despite all the issues Oates and Hunter had, your main problem w/ them was trying to turn Ovi into a man of the system. You hate that. You want your boy toy wild and free. Everyone wants this of Ovi, even RUS coaches. Compare this to Crosby who will take any role on CAN w/o complaint. You call 87 a whiner, but who whined the loudest during the lockout, threatening to stay in the KHL? Who whines now, threatening to leave the league to get an Olympic trinket? While Leonsis bends over backwards to satisfy all his ridiculous demands. This is a guy who looks out for himself and his public image (Wild and Sexy Rebel, Patriot of Motherland). His only interest in the Cup is how his reflection will look in it.

MAF showed up

Problem is, Leonsis has the same priorities. He has dissolved himself and the team in Ovechkin’s 13-year-long marketing campaign. It worked out great financially. The price to pay is being humiliated every year by real winners. Congrats, Caps, you've sold lots of t-shirts. Congrats, Caps fans, you've been had. Oh, and that sound you’ve just heard is your window of opportunity slamming shut. I hope this wild ride on the Charisma Train was fun. Rant out. Enjoy your Redskins mini camp.

obviously the same person
Anyway....You're putting this on Ovi's back. Are you going to sit here and tell me Sid won the series? You're comparing the two as if this is 2006....that comparison is overdone. They are two different players. Surely, you can agree to that.

that he did
