Well, there's always next year...

I feel like I say that every May. But once again, my beloved Capitals have been ousted from the play-offs shy of the ultimate goal: winning Lord Stanley's Cup. To add insult to injury, they were swept in the second round. Swept! Couldn't even win one game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Sigh. That's gonna be one quiet plane ride home tonight.

I fear for the coach's job. He has a great record in the regular season, and this year succeeded in completely changing the team's "system" mid-way through the year... with great success. It's not too often a team can completely change the way it plays mid-season without involving a coach getting fired. But he just doesn't seem to be able to get it done in the post season.

Then again, Andy Reid has had same problem for years, and he's still in Philly...
