You can't say I didn't warn you.
When I composed my jeremiad, issued my Fatwah as it were, on the occasion of the Capitals inking Jose Theodore as their no. 1 netminder last summer, I had the past 36 hours in mind: an otherwise nice-looking Capitals' club undone in crunch time because they were most vulnerable where it mattered most -- in net.
