This post is phooey.
First of all, you have no clue what kind of captain he is. You can speculate all you want, but you have no clue. I tend to think it's thinly veiled anti Russian bias.
Look at his playoff stats, they speak for themselves. Even last night he was back checking and causing turnovers.
The Caps are built for the playoffs. They have all the right pieces, and the right mix of vets and young legs and coaching. Why can't they get past the 2nd round? I have no idea, but it's not on Ovi's shoulders directly that is for sure.
Why can't the Flames beat the Ducks? Cursed, bad luck, who knows. Sometimes life just isn't fair.
