They focused to much on stopping Ovechkin rather than trying to win the game

1 win in the last 9 games... WOO

1. We need to stop tripping ALL THE FREAKING TIME! If they actually kept track of the total times throughout the season players on a team trip for no reason, the Sabres would have to be leading by a mile. Skating drills, give them cones to balance on during practice so they know what it feels like to stand up straight for a little while, WHATEVER IT TAKES!!

2. Vanek, stop pretending you're a playmaker. I love the effort but people steal the puck so easily from you and you aren't the best passer in the world. Either get infront of the net and let someone do the crafty stuff for you, or just take a nice hard shot.

3. Officiating, if one player wacks the stick right out of your hand from behind you, it probably should be a penalty. Same with if they force the tallest player on the team to completely collapse by putting their stick into his skates. Especially late in the game, poor officiating can really rub salt in the wound.

4. I know Raffi Torres isn't the savior, but I really hope he can add a bit of a dynamic into this team against the Flyers. At least for a few games until Ruff and the rest of this team pansify him. We really can't get any worse...

5. The rest of the team... yeah... see ya Friday.
