Dot com. One cushion red. -- who might want to let me 67 founded and doing a good job particularly wise and -- hard to do this yeah I think that's fantastic and a -- also she's been trying to do it. And my man Dan Steinberg do his thing the DC sports blog check it out Washington Post dot com. Okay it's been a couple days stand that the loss -- solid get caps fans backing away from the ledge a little bit they still won't blood. You -- know sand today I was and we -- Washington DC it's kind of 75 degrees out and signing I think that helps I think that if this occurrence in playoff loss we're looking like these junior January much worse. So I think maybe that's part of the problem with with -- -- that people can get over -- fact I think that a lot of depressions are reluctant to get by and that gets us on the radio this morning here happen in Montreal there would have been people jumping from bridges but it is Washington DC so I guess Redskins his starter when was just a couple of days ago. You're damn right in the game exactly I don't aren't loyal and Redskins isn't not the best. And the -- -- a put -- applause some decent baseball label watched on the strasburg watch -- -- what was gonna happen with that. Maybe it was as good looking in the lottery but let's recap the -- capitals season. Is such -- this -- and what it was an entertaining fun. Likable team fun to watch for -- -- -- -- changing people's tires let you know after game seven what a great story that was. But what horrible -- much -- the one seed Roger for saying now that it of Tom Boswell brought it today NASCAR great -- wants to post. Is the -- structurally flawed about the way the put together -- is that a problem going forward how does George -- address this to -- -- McPhee said today when he enters the media for the final out reporters curtain call when he was like look. Let's let's not skew the bigger picture we have a great organization we have great people on the team have a great staff. I support the staff I support our coach it's just you know putting the right pieces in the right place so there can be some roster changes of the light variety. But I don't see any wholesale changes it's just making this team a regular season team into. -- postseason team took things need to happen to things to happen seven days ago -- ago in neither one of those things can happen many to grind is in front of the net. And any two guys that can kill the power play I think both those things are not good -- -- seven -- in this best way to go ahead and get that done. Is it also had a feeling it was frustrating to me being out there today when they were talking about kind of what went wrong is just I think. McPhee and and Bruce Woodrow -- sort of set we ran into luckily there's nothing you can do about it -- a -- if you got the best team I didn't necessarily so there's nothing you can do but I don't like. Pin this on Hawkins got the best team you're playing the sixteenth best team I think you can get over a hot goalie I don't think that. I think a lot of the saves he was making in game seven weren't necessarily particularly challenging saves and they -- get a clean shot and it was the best team in the league -- -- to -- -- locker whoever you're playing well -- the first round the Bruins ran into the best goalie in the league arguably for the regular season everything right in Miller right in Canada in the current score earlier right exactly so. Other hot early and announced that the Olympic and Ryan Miller was not the same from the Olympics if you look at Kovacs continue he was not the same from the Olympic he came up very strong. But this is not the same -- That's in that we'd seen before the Olympics it's tough for him now because the national. Pictures now well. If there's a debate about who's better. Emerson trust now seems at least one sided was this a national -- while C look could use -- the first round. His his Russian team lost -- Olympics. Similarly as the green scored for another one he got his team through a tall -- -- -- Ottawa they were on the ropes he came through his team did is that fair. I mean absolutely it's fairly well I mean sure it's not -- is not particularly an individual sport but if if you need a tiebreaker between the two guys why would you look at how they've done these. And a big moments and -- in Sydney was dominant in that first round series I think he was brilliant at times as much as that. McCain to say that I didn't already had a feel good feel for. What's this forces I mean. Watching Antawn Jamison help LeBron James win is that -- I have to Jamison is. Makes you want for -- while you can't go after those robberies and now you're these these need to watch. Pittsburgh played Montreal -- Pittsburgh takes Montreal part. It's gonna be like a knife to the and that. Oh I'd love hockey absolutely love hockey I can't watch a series due to shift to root for Montreal -- I think you have to root for Montreal the public and he hadn't city crowd I want a Canadian team period the WB grade means more. Obama holds with the ratings to support America. It's been a -- then what no Canadians as I won't even politics didn't Olympics ever need to win this deal we gotta get back if that's what they are what I would like that that we would seek medical report -- -- the Bulls kind of got an anti Canadian but he's. -- me out there in the very mean and half I speak to -- it felt like him great years they're nice. That's the nicest people in the world's Nextel the Montreal they speak French in the very mean that's revered as I ever -- -- -- hit it just think. Probably write a thought about. We also didn't possible that it looked all good and that's loss and I just like a half step up from butler's it was horrible lies and took -- yeah. That job does not and then -- followed us that would later but it was clearly an alcoholic drinks did you hear the hottest drink crazy and DC right now the odds of ask him. Don't know what Russian with no cup. I'm I'm I'm. It -- but let's see that's pretty good but it doesn't ask you this there's a buzz of -- on Twitter strategy you know that's all come into our lives it's really. Change the way we do our jobs about look at a lot of funding. Alexander seven. Spoke with a Russian fellow reporter today but not to the regular media which is not unusual for him but after a series has come open did he say something. Mike Green nothing. -- -- -- -- heard from him. Alex Seminoles seemed at that Mike Green did I actually walked out of via the final game seven. Out with the fans and they were screening might green socks as I walked to the stairwell. That was their reaction every conversation I encountered an -- struck Gonzalez walking all the way down to with a parking lot. Was. How horrible my green -- he's -- and listen to. Yes because -- yeah Alan -- execute it and Shaone Morrisonn completely disagree -- me. That man who's a reason why they lost game seven you can't at a cross checking penalty. In the offensive zone and completely get blown by for the second goal he was the reason why effectively lost that you struggle offensively now it -- -- -- -- playoffs. So it's becoming for him when he's an offensive defenseman. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- This what we lost my stomach I disagree that the teams are care really care about if a guy drops a big passer repeal. You fumbles the ball five times in a suggestion came. I got from him wanted to say afterward in the media do you go to take care about I wanna -- -- paper the next opponent here and I think once. And -- -- that you feel ethical -- -- look here's what some of the fans think because we have this Twitter that. I don't -- -- candidate not a and M would 3540 and had this to say about something green. Green and seven -- core players people had a bad series but I wouldn't want either one of them and another team's Jersey co captain of support group so. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- That's -- -- years but I picked up Sebastian captain of the Houston open in. That took. -- I don't -- anybody -- on me yeah a bunch of sort of the role players you know stood up and that might like -- as a starter -- start you can just disappear and he can despair when you're an embarrassment green for a hockey -- straight up. -- I can putt but today I got you got to take it fell on the -- it's fair it was my fault. We need to score goals I had the chance to score goals I don't score goals and you just have to take the moment in your head. Spurrier always you know he took it took it to the board -- whether that's fair or not he should institute a rule itself through -- stupid if you look at the staffs in the losses he really. You know I think the what his his poor games near -- outplayed up and in key situations everybody knows it is. Eight points in the three games they want and two point wrinkles Michael Campbell -- Indeed scoreboard twice in the choices and Warriors he's Montreal played a perfect series that could one game to. You could argue that they could have been the sixth in some ways it big caption -- what can get on -- to -- Well it completely outplayed him as a reason why they got ahead first once you get ahead first. Then you play a little traps or whatever you want to play. Well you get ahead first think about that I've -- it's really deep it's kind of like thousand anyway so you get ahead. Did you can play defense -- style don't you shut the capitals -- down bottom line is that shouldn't happen that. Experience in the regular season come from behind -- no reason to think they couldn't do the same ones that got the post season. And that was that was their undoing I thought obviously clock was MVP this is I think Hal gill was next -- pace seemed like he was just everywhere big dude -- Let's face it up and all the defense but the play great market and -- defense one on it that seriously and do his Pittsburgh in this. If they have blockers just as good as Pittsburgh and -- they go deep does this leaving the pain protest against the Pittsburgh just goes takes about five games at. I would say that if someone who has you know as consultant and other sports and my team loses and that team goes on to win a super -- say I still like okay all right -- we lost to be supremely better team. But just not in Pittsburgh and I think. Why we say if I want it was right there with the those closers there's this there's gonna -- -- finals skills that are tough to watch but there don't. We'll check on. All of back pocket -- and the bats better if I hope so -- You've talked most of what you'd like to see added a defenseman. To. Choose -- you want we're gonna tear for the TK do you do you sit seven and perhaps. Which is evaluated do you sit on him -- May be -- and -- the trade deadline next year you know the ego. Of general managers not only in hockey been an all sports they are that one guy that can turn that superstar around and get the most out of his potential Alexander salmon is exactly that guy all the talent in the world. Somebody thinks that they can -- him -- -- someone about it and I would think that -- -- what changes need to be -- obviously you're not gonna blow it -- you have to do something you can't just for the fourth straight -- kind of head in with the exact same -- that's exactly -- -- it and -- -- at all the trade -- a very similar color to be very similar -- I think they got -- shake something -- a little -- of what -- -- -- -- in that game one next year. I think for over. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- But it made it to game seven go to Hershey her she got the win last night as the uniform I don't mean like during. You got all there yet Carlson and I get rid of what do you want my green if you don't need another piece of offense eastern and you know sort of like the hotbed of DC sports journalist Robert amnesty we got a good record or break him.
