The Washington Capitals lost their fifth game of the preseason tonight and looked listless in the process. The team has scored only three goals in their last four games. This preseason, the Caps has been outscored 21-8. Barry Trotz called the team’s performance “concerning” and “disturbing.”
So, after the game, I asked our readers a simple question on Twitter. What advice would you give for the regular season 2017-18 Washington Capitals?
If you could give any advice to the Washington Capitals, before the regular season begins, what would it be?

Since they struggle scoring more than one goal a game, proactively change the Capital One Arena to the Capped At One Arena.
