Caps AHL (Hershey Bears) and ECHL (S. Carolina Stingrays) affiliates are also at or near the top of their respective leagues standings. Bears have won back to back Calder Cups. They are a well oiled machine from top to bottom. Their farm system deserves a ton of credit for developing these young players.
Something that doesn’t get talked about enough with caps is how strong their 4th line is. Dowd has been the best 4C in the league for a few years now imo, and this is one of the only teams that I feel confident whenever their 4th line is out there
I’m confidently going to say that Carberry is a reason why the capitals are this good. The management did very good this offseason. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make a run this year
I sadly thought we were just going to be extremely mid to bad for the next many years but after this complete retool and why I’m very excited for the future
Raddysh and Duhaime have been sneaky good signings too. They’ve really given the 4th line more offensive juice compared to Aube-Kubel and Malenstyn. Dowd continues to be a defensive anchor while upping his goal scoring, albeit he is getting into foul trouble more often.
Nice breakdown - scary didn’t even mention guys like HLP, Ryan Chesley, Vincent Iorio, Cam Allen and the fact Hershey has B2b calder cups. IMO they are the best organization in the league.
So stoked about the situation of the team both prospects and current players. Ivan Miroshnichenko had cancer missed almsot a full year of hockey so his development is about a year behind his age imo he’s been very productive at the AHL level and has lots of opportunities when he plays in the NHL the finishing will come with time he has a cannon
Agreed!! Even tho his point numbers don’t seem amazing, I haven’t seen him have a bad game and he just makes everyone around him so much better. He’s an insane passer
I’m glad the Ilya Protas pick is looking more and more like a steal. As amazing his brother Aliaksei has been many say Ilya has even greater potential, especially as a goal scorer.
I’d also like to shoutout Hendrix Lapierre! He just got sent back down to Hershey to find his game and develop some more, but he’s shown flashes of brilliance!! Caps young players/prospects are absolutely loaded
They had so many injuries on defense. I remember that they were so short on defensemen that Vinnie Iorio got into the lineup ... and then he got hurt, too.
Good video. Would love to see one on Vegas (just always good and wheeling and dealing) and Montreal (is the rebuild progressing near perfect or are there holes?)
As a caps fan I love this but I think there’s gonna be a time in April where I’m gonna wish we had a superstar. Strome is a 2c same with PLD. I think there’s a way we could get petey but highly unlikely
Here’s what I would do if I was the GM of the Islanders to do a quick turnaround like Washington. I’d trade Nelson/Palmieri/Pageau/Sizikas for picks, I’d acquire Zegras Frederic and Foerster, and I’d sign Provorov and one of Kuzmenko/Ehlers/Boeser.
Aren’t channels like you the ones that said they’re the worst team wouldn’t be any good this year just a turn around and try to be like oh yeah, we knew they’d be good all along look how good they are now look at all the moves they made one before all you did was criticize?
could listen to the caps glaze forever
HAHAHHAHAAH soak it in because I will not be glazing them all the time as an Islanders fan
I enjoy it, It’s rare outside of DC and I’m not even a Caps fangirl. Love me some Ovi
Hell yeah Mike. I need some more Caps content moving forward.
HAHAHAHAHA don't expect a ton more of Caps glazing going forward

Yup just a great organization

music to my ears
I wasn't sure about the Caps' future beforehand, but after so many prospects had huge WJC's, it's looking real.
Yup insane WJC for them
You should definitely make a video about the Montreal Canadiens and how they turned their season around.
You could have talked about vrana and eller adds. They have been great depth pieces for the caps and solidified their bottom 6.
Also brandon duhaime add
The PLD trade has worked out way better for both teams than I thought it would. Props to the Capa on fixing PLD
I sadly thought we were just going to be extremely mid to bad for the next many years but after this complete retool and why I’m very excited for the future
Yup you were lumped in with Pitt but escaped it
Raddysh and Duhaime have been sneaky good signings too. They’ve really given the 4th line more offensive juice compared to Aube-Kubel and Malenstyn. Dowd continues to be a defensive anchor while upping his goal scoring, albeit he is getting into foul trouble more often.
This!! I think caps 4th line deserves a lot more recognition and dowd has been the best 4C in the league for the past 3 years imo
Raddysh,Duhaime,Vrana and Eller … very good adds too 🫶🏻
Incredible work done by that entire scouting and management department
Yup the stuff you'd dream your team would have
@@MikeBartnerOttawa catching strays for no reason HAHAHAHA
Carbery is a genius coach
Yep the way he's been able to get basically everyone playing the best hockey of their career this season is nuts.
W MIKE GLAZING MY CAPS
HAHAHAHAHAH won't happen that often

I think Pierre Luc Dubois deserves more glazing, dude has easily been the most consistent and consistently good player night in and night out
Agreed!! Even tho his point numbers don’t seem amazing, I haven’t seen him have a bad game and he just makes everyone around him so much better. He’s an insane passer
@@alexchenierdrums spot on. And he just happens to be top 5 defensively
I’m glad the Ilya Protas pick is looking more and more like a steal. As amazing his brother Aliaksei has been many say Ilya has even greater potential, especially as a goal scorer.
Crazy he fell so much because he was pretty productive in the USHL in his draft year, has sick frame and the genes seem strong from his brother
I’d also like to shoutout Hendrix Lapierre! He just got sent back down to Hershey to find his game and develop some more, but he’s shown flashes of brilliance!! Caps young players/prospects are absolutely loaded
best retool ive seen pens the opposite
That thumbnail lmao XD
HAHAHAHHA gotta stand out!
hoping they extend jc6
3:34 PLD is definitely exceeding my expectations!
Still way overpaid, and still a pos of a person
He’s been amazing. Even tho the points aren’t following as much he’s doing everything else right
he didnt mention that the caps have lots of picks and hendrix and alex a are young guys
@Mike Barter Capitals had Massive injuries for that playoff against the Rangers. Others were exhausted.
They had so many injuries on defense. I remember that they were so short on defensemen that Vinnie Iorio got into the lineup ... and then he got hurt, too.
Tom Wilson was still recovering from his knee surgery last season, so it's no surprise that he has rebounded this season.
ITS ALL CARBERRY BROOOOOO
HAHAHAHAHA he's a massive part as well I showed love!
awesome vid man. ik ima caps homer but im genuinely excited for the rn and future whereas a year ago it was looking bleak
You rightfully so should be giddy about your team!
@@MikeBartner other optimistic vids like this abt up and coming teams would be cool too
Good video. Would love to see one on Vegas (just always good and wheeling and dealing) and Montreal (is the rebuild progressing near perfect or are there holes?)
my goat posted my fav team
Got you
Imagine how the Caps would look if Ovie had insisted on riding off into the sunset with his buddies, like how a certain someone else did...
HAHAHHAAH in fairness Backstrom and Oshie got hurt so money opened up
@@MikeBartner True, but Ovie still could have insisted on keeping a washed Kuznetsov around
As a Caps fan it was sweet music Canada bombing out of the world juniors after the Cristall snub
mike id love to have you on our side, switch from the islanders please

Thompson should be their no 1 goalie and get more starts
Music to my fucking EARS BRO
HAHAHAAHAH
What website do you use to measure defensive numbers
JFresh and EvolvingHockey
Where do u have the bruins as management. No need for a specific rank just wondering if u think they’re at the top middle bottom.
the penguins should have done that
Caps just better ig 🤷♀️
9:05 dude did you just say gavin mcinnes?? xD
7:00 I think that John Carlson will became the captain
Just wanna say it now, you pronounce the name "Protas" like "Pro-tis", still better pronounication than most commentators lol.
You should look at the perpetual mediocrity of the flames and how they could get out of it
do one on the blackhawks dynasty
I am not touching that because of the Kyle Beach stuff
@ tru it was such a dad story but u can just focus on the on ice part
CapFriendly Merchants??🤔
