I don't get how the Kool-Aid ...Brutal truth. <br /><br />I don't get how the Kool-Aid drinkers on other blogs can continue to turn a blind eye toward this team's problems. Supporing a team in good times and bad is one thing, but to refuse to acknowledge the mediocrity out there on the ice makes no sense. <br /><br />The Pollyannas continue to delude themselves that the Caps are in the position they're in the standings because bad bounces and bad luck. If they took a moment to remove their rose-colored glasses they would realize the Caps simply do not have the heart or mental toughness for success in the playoffs, assuming they somehow will get there but it's in no way a slam dunk. On too many nights too many players float and coast, show little if any willingness to get down and dirty to win the one-on-one battles. Do the Pollyannas not see this? They're like ostriches with their heads in the sand.<br /><br />Wake up, people. The emperor isn't wearing any clothes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
