Make Ovie play D? Nah, not gonna happen. Russian Machine Never Bothers :)

I'm surprised at how young he is. I thought he was closer to 60. Only 51 though. Best of luck Barry, now gtfo of the western conference!

What will happen to Oatsie? Should the Blues hire him as an assistant?

Trotz system is totally different than any of the players on the team.

I'm interested to see how this works. Trotz has always had good defensive teams. The Caps...not so much. But maybe Trotz with some firepower can turn some heads. He's a good coach. I think he can make it work.

I hope so, I like Trotz and I have been a semi Caps fan for a while now. Who knows, maybe its so ass backwards that it will be perfect lol.
Or Ovi will just leave for the KHL.

I could see it going either way. If he can't get Ovechkin to play defense, it'll probably turn into disaster But, if he gets them to play solid defense while having all that firepower, it could make them really really good. Getting them to play solid defense is much easier said than done though IMO.
