SaucyJack Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Well, kinda… …the 2010 first round loss to the Montréal Canadiens had to be the worst ignominy in Washington Capitals history. President Cup winners, 3-1 lead going into home game 5, already started repeating playoff miseries of the ‘83 to ‘03 double decade per early-Ovie-era playoff underachievement in the spring of ‘08 and ‘09… …so of course they lose the last three to the #8 seed Quebecois, in a series that revealed the lack of 2-way hockey skills in Ovie and crew. A lack of skill he never corrected as confirmed by his mediocre career plus-minus. So, for a Montréal Canadien from that 2010 squad, that most horrendous spring memory, to end up with Washington, in the form of 34-year-young Max Pacioretty, it brings back bad thoughts, ah oui. Well kinda… …despite playing 50+ games for Les Habitants that season, the young Pacioretty was left off their 2010 playoff roster… …Still !!!
