#3 Train and eat healthy

If a player is reading this, this is why I included it in here. The Caps need to make sure that even though training camp is still just over two months away that they train wherever they live in the offseason and eat healthy.

It’s the least they can do to prevent an injury. Other than that I don’t know how to except be careful when the season starts back up again.

One twitter follower said that Darcy Kuemper was the reason the Caps missed the playoffs. That couldn’t be any further than the truth. The primary reason the Caps missed the playoffs was injuries. Plain and simple.

I’ll get heat from the Laviolette haters but maybe if the Caps were just a tad bit healthier and squeaked into the playoffs maybe Peter Laviolette is still in D.C. and not finding a new opportunity now with the New York Rangers.

Unfortunately there’s only so much you can’t control and even eating healthier isn’t a magic pill to the fountain of youth, but it does help you live longer.
