WASHINGTON -- Heres an audacious way to get a promotion: Tell the big boss what hes been doing wrong. http://www.superstarrosepascher.fr/adidas-yeezy-boost-350-soldes.html . Brian MacLellan did just that when he interviewed with owner Ted Leonsis for the Washington Capitals general manager job. "He led off with some of the things that I have to do to be a better owner," Leonsis said. "I thought that was very brave and very astute, because you dont want to hear things like that." MacLellans strategy helped him pull an upset. Leonsis was looking for a new direction and hadnt intended to promote from within after George McPhees contract wasnt renewed, but MacLellans candour helped him rise above the 15 or so candidates and land the job. "I didnt think I had anything to lose," MacLellan said. MacLellan has been with Washington for 13 seasons, including seven as assistant GM, but most of his work had been in scouting and he had rarely spoken to Leonsis. His message: When everyone in the organization is not on the same page, including the owner, the product on the ice suffers. Such was the case last season with McPhee and coach Adam Oates, and the result was a team that missed the playoffs for the first time in seven years despite 51 goals from Alex Ovechkin. "I think the important point I was trying to make is that I think the team feels when theres a disconnect," MacLellan said, "or (when) theres not a unified philosophy from ownership to manger to coach." MacLellan was introduced alongside Barry Trotz, the longtime Nashville Predators coach who replaces Oates. While MacLellan was one of many GM candidates, Trotz was the only coach the Capitals interviewed. His only hang-up was that he had to wait for a GM to get in place, and to make sure it was someone who shared a similar vision. "Its where I started," said Trotz, who coached the Capitals top minor league affiliate in the 1990s before spending 15 seasons with the Predators, "so I feels like I was coming home." Leonsis said he was keen to get someone with a solid track record after five consecutive McPhee hires who had no previous NHL head coaching experience. "We are not rebuilding the team," Leonsis said. "But we are going to refresh the team." Ovechkin has been forced to adjust to multiple offensive systems through several coaching changes in recent years. One of Trotzs priorities will be to sit down with the three-time league MVP and discuss the way forward. "My job as a coach is to find a way to allow Alex and the other players to reach their potential as a group, and be able to play together," Trotz said. "One of the very fundamental things, if you have a kindergarten, they give you your report card and they say, Do you play well with others? My job is to get everybody to play well with the others." Trotz downplayed his reputation as a defensive-minded coach, saying he didnt have the same firepower in Nashville that hell have in Washington. "I dont want to take anything away from the Capitals offensively. ... (They have) great power plays and great individuals that can put the puck in the net," Trotz said. "I didnt have that in Nashville. I had some real good players, but not enough up front, so we become a little more of a defensive team." Trotz said he doesnt see why the Capitals cant get back in the Stanley Cup mix right away, assuming they can forge the unified gameplan envisioned by MacLellan. "Theres enough ability here," Trotz said. "We just have to forge a little bit of an identity going forward." Ultra Boost Adidas Homme .

The Senators carried an 0-4-2 drought into last nights encounter with the Tampa Bay Lightning, and despite blowing a two-goal lead left town with a 4-3 shootout decision. Listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1200 at 7:30pm et. It gave Ottawa its first victory since March 8 and the club will try to win two in a row for the first time since Feb. 4-6. The Sens recent drought knocked the club nine points back of a wild card spot. Erik Karlsson, Kyle Turris and Jason Spezza all scored in regulation for the Senators, who failed to hold a 3-1 lead but got the extra point when Spezza scored the only shootout tally. Spezza, Ottawas second shooter, entered the zone and moved the puck back and forth several times before releasing a wrister that fooled Lightning netminder Ben Bishop and found twine in the top right corner. "I dont think I am reinventing the wheel. I just slowed down and made a couple of stickhandles and waited for the right time to shoot it," said Spezza on his move in the shootout. Robin Lehner made 35 saves before going perfect in the shootout for Ottawa. Karlsson, who scored in a third straight game, also had two assists to run his point streak to seven straight gamess. http://www.superstarrosepascher.fr/adidas-zx-750-soldes.html. The defenseman has 11 points over his run and leads all NHL blueliners with 20 goals and 68 points.

Jimmy Hayes and Tomas Fleischmann scored in a 2:01 span of the second period to pull Florida within one before Anaheim pulled away. "Theyve (the Ducks) had a little adversity lately but you had to be ready for a big push out of them," Panthers goaltender Dan Ellis said after making 34 saves. Roberto Luongo figures to get the start in net tonight for Florida and is 10-11-0 lifetime versus the Senators with a 2.89 GAA. The Panthers lost their first two meetings with the Sens this season before notching a 4-2 victory in Ottawa on Dec. 19.
