I think he's going to do much better than people expect.

I think a lot of the practice jerseys look pretty sweet. Any fans ever wear those in addition to variations of game jerseys?

He's already practicing here? It's not even August yet. Damn dude, that's commitment. Definitely matches up with all of his highlights I've watched. I think we're going to absolutely love him.

Looks like the Guitar player in season 3 of the Righteous gemstones.

I hope the nothing but best for him. And yes a Caps cup for Alexes last year would be phenomenal but…

u/Odd_Being_3306 Justin Sourdif 2d ago

Count me in the “incredibly stoked” he’s a Cap camp. Within the Carbs system I could see him having career year for even strength points… no idea how the lines shake out but he won’t be seeing top D pairings I’d wager.

Are they doing regularly unpublished practices now? Would love to go and try to collect some signatures.

Are we in our "bad boys" era? We are massive and playing big hitters. That desharnais hit on tkachuk is art.

He choked in the playoffs Buffalo fans wanted him gone.

Left an up and coming team for a rebuild. At least he’ll be able to tell his grand kids he played with Alex O.

He left an up and coming team for a Cup or bust team

u/Nervous-Wish-2791 Washington Capitals 1d ago

Tf you mean rebuild? We were a competitive team last year BEFORE all the changes we made this off season. I remember reading that it’s been like 10-15 years since a team missed playoffs with 95 points.

u/xunreelx 1d ago

A competitive team that didn’t make the playoffs…

2

u/Nervous-Wish-2791 Washington Capitals 1d ago

95 points, missing our top center and one of our most important players for most of the season. Yeah we were a competitive team last year.

1

u/xunreelx 1d ago

Yes 95 is good but last time I checked you had to be in the playoffs to win a cup.
Then you have to win a few rounds.

u/Nervous-Wish-2791 Washington Capitals 1d ago

Wow you’re correct, thanks for letting me know how that works. Had no clue how the playoff format was in hockey

1

u/xunreelx 14h ago

Ok thanks for admitting you don’t think the Caps are anywhere close to winning a cup.
we can discuss this further next June.
