Two years ago- hell, even early last year- they were a joke. We were leagues ahead of them.
Now, they're tearing up the league, even with two of their best players out with injuries. Meanwhile, we get two guys back and promptly fall to pieces.
Roy makes big plays AND big mistakes. Vanek's completely disappeared, as he always does. Pominville is in a slump- all the big names are doing nothing. Guys like Gaustad (in his first game back from injury, no less) and Mair are playing well, but these are 3rd liners, 2nd liners at best. You can't win with those guys alone.
And another thing- these guys keep losing battles along the boards. And it doesn't look like it's due to lack of effort- they're trying, they're just losing. Constantly. It's become embarrassing.
So, the friggin Caps are on a roll, the bandwagon jumpers who could give **** about the Caps a year ago are everwhere, and the Sabres just continue on their downward spiral.
Anyone care to defend the FO now?
