Comments on: I Scream, You Scream, We All… http://puckbuddys.com/2011/05/04/i-scream-you-scream-we-all-scream/ Boys Who Like Boys Who Like Hockey Tue, 11 Sep 2012 13:02:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Gabriel http://puckbuddys.com/2011/05/04/i-scream-you-scream-we-all-scream/#comment-584 Fri, 06 May 2011 11:41:49 +0000 http://puckbuddys.com/?p=3175#comment-584 Craig… I feel your pain. Look… the Capitals are a young team, and that in itself can be a huge burden on a team in the playoffs. But they’re also young in mostly the wrong places. Their goaltending and the guys relied on to score, for example. It took the Senators, for example, roughly a decade as an elite team before they finally made it to the finals. And by that time the core players were in their late-20′s and early-30′s.

What the Capitals need is a fine tuning, not a bloodletting as some columns are suggesting.

@Jeremy: those teams were losing a long time before Ted showed up and saved them from being moved or folded.

In those seasons, his teams have won two playoff series. That’s a .117 %.

And people here say he’s “the best owner in sports”… because why? If emails and waves from the owner’s box from Cotton Candy Ted are enough to keep people cheering him, why should Ted change? Make no mistake: Dan $nyder is an a$$ clown. But, be equally clear: Ted’s teams lose.

Ted lives in an “if I blog it, it is so” world… This trickles down to a GM, coach, and superstar who live in an “if we say it, it is so world” — and anyone who begs to differ with them hears “nobody knows nothing” and/or “if they knew anything about the game, they’d be in it.”

Ted’s fans will let all this continue or they won’t. If Ted feels ego pain, he’ll act. Until then, he’ll blog, wave, and raise prices.

Be happy, you can do it!
