Thursday, May 12: Should Caps fans be angry?

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while regretting that I hadn’t been watching the Golden State Warriors throughout these playoffs. Steph Curry is one of the few professional athletes truly worth the price of admission.

*Radio host Grant Paulsen can’t understand why Capitals fans are angry at their hockey team after choking once again in the postseason. Yeah. That’s a tough one.

*Speaking of the Capitals, the Fourth Period’s Dave Pagnotta has some thoughts about the current plight of Washington and where the Caps need to go.

*PHT writer James O’Brien has Lindy Ruff admitting he made a mistake and that he should have replaced ineffective goalie Kari Lehtonen much earlier than he did in a decisive Game 7.

*Here’s an update on Team USA at the World Championships and some questions answered by Bruins winger Frank Vatrano.

*Marc Crawford signs on as the associate head coach for Guy Boucher as the Ottawa Senators look to fortify their bench boss situation.

*The Hockey News explains why the Pittsburgh Penguins are this year’s Team of Destiny, or at least gives their take anyway.

*Phil Kessel and his third-line mates Carl Hagelin and Nick Bonino have been a revelation for the Penguins in the postseason.

*It sounds like USA Hockey is starting to change their philosophies when it comes to developing goaltenders, and looking to perfect their current system that has produced some pretty good ones already.

*For something completely different: Jon Stewart is a voice that is sorely missed during this presidential election cycle, so it was good to hear him sound off this week.
