I was listening in the background. Speaking of Ladd, he really needs to elevate his game during the playoffs. Get it done during the playoffs or what you did during the regular season means Frank.

Just like the Capitals since getting Ovi

Ovi and the Caps really better get it done in the playoffs this year. Not against the Isles of course.

His PO numbers are terrible

Indeed they are. You see how fair I am? I did not go after just Bailey. i included Lee, Nelson, Strome, and Ladd.

They won't. We matchup very well against them. No reason to be scared of them.

We do this year during the regular season. Playoffs are a different animal though and I just mentioned a number of Isles that have not exactly been playoff warriors. I'm very concerned with a possible Caps series.

Nice to see us come out playing well in this period versus the first two where the play was almost entirely in our zone.
I hope I can make it through this game, I'm (frank)ing tired.

Are the Capitals better in the playoffs? Where's their cup? Where's their ECF berth since getting Ovi?

When we signed Ladd and Chimera, all I thought was, these are guys we need in playoffs. Big bodies, to make games 5,6,7 easier for us. Points are nice, other factors are involved in the playoffs though

I may be drunk but you're high man

I don't care who we play, if it means we're in the playoffs.

I don't see the physicality from Ladd, that people have expected imho. Chimer yes Ladd no. He's a one trick pony as far as I'm concerned which is shoot.

You wonder if Ladd's physical play over the years has taken it's toll?

I agree, but I would be really pissed if they get crushed. If there are going to make it, then they need to play like they should be there.

Without a doubt. Guys who play that type of game slow down a little quicker typically.

I agree. They better play like they belong. Does not matter who they play and how good the opponent.

I want them to make the POs because they are my team but I don't want Snow getting any success so they will can his ass( fingers crossed and praying)if they don't make it.

I give him credit for having the stones to play that way. No way I would have given him a 7 year deal though.

Yup, start to get nagging injuries because they beat the poop out of their bodies.

Swing and a miss at Stamkos, (dream and a prayer actually) plan B over payment. There wasn't another GM that would have given him that deal imho.

Although I agree with you about Ladd this season, I am hoping the playoffs is where he earns his $$$. He is the type of player who can have a huge impact on a series.
