So, I think it would be a great feeling to have a team double-team you like the Rangers are doing to Ovechkin right now. HOWEVER, just like in any other team sport, doesn't that mean someone should be OPEN!?

Every time the dude is in the game and is remotely close to the puck on the offensive side the Rangers double team him. How, in the good lord's name, can they be losing 4-1?

Are they really that bad?

They're even worse than bad. This is a horrible roster. The only legit top 6 forward they have in his prime is Zubrus & he's a floater. It's Ovechkin, a few other kids years away, & some mediocre talented role guys. The blueline is basically that, minus Ovechkin.

That Ouellet kid looked great for Pittsburgh tonite

That's really too bad. I dont know much about the caps except for Ovechkin. Ironic because it is the closest professional team to where I live. I feel bad for Ovechkin. Maybe it makes him stick out more when he does something amazing, but I imagine it has got hold him back some to be on a team that is as bad as you say.
