“Team Jagr” = oxymoron

Boy, do I agree with that!
I haven’t read any comments about the Rangers this season that point out how they have made “addition by subtraction” make sense, (maybe I just don’t read enough). Minus Jagr and Avery, they look like a very different team. I have always been skeptical of the superstar stats being a predictor for success by any team. Look at the first Joe Gibbs era- teams with chemistry and not superstars. I know from talking to some of those players that they were very close as a team, egos checked, and cared very much for each other on and off the field. That’s the kind of team I want to follow.
I hope that is what the Caps are becoming. It surely looked that way last spring. Yes, we have the best player in the world, but he doesn’t act like the US version of superstar, at least not publicly.

Nice to see Niko is still playing. Had decent skills during the game, but if you needed to win a face-off it sure was nice having him on the roster.
10 years ago, the Caps had possibly the best set of face-off guys in history on one team: Hunter, Oates, Nikolishin… they led the league in 1997-98 in percentage, I suspect, and it really showed on the PK, where they were the first team in decades to kill over 90% of the penalties called against them. As I recall, they allowed only a net 25 power play goals (39 PPGA, 14ShGF) for that season…
