Like we should be surprised? Narratives can become so lazy, entrenched and moronic. OFB continues to skate circles around some MSM writers and those self-imagined message board "experts" who have chosen the wrong role models for their hockey acumen and judgment. Spot-on insights.

Carolina is one of the most inconsistent teams - powerhouse one day, AHL team the other. With their dear Captain now out for good (Brind'amor), and the rising play of your new franchise powerhouse Ovechkin (fun to watch, as this guy loves to hit and score a lot of goals) I'd say you are a 'shoe-in'. It's about time the Caps have someone to build the team around. I posted in my blog after the Rangers/Caps game last week that it was "A Good Loss" because both teams played good hockey -- something my dear Rangers haven't produced consistently throughout the season. With the Caps potentially taking the division in the 3rd playoff spot and the Rangers currently in sixth place -- we'll see you in that first round folks.

Since he started giving him a game off after two games on, his play has been stellar. I don't know if its because he's mad or because he needed the rest, but he hasn't been the same goalie since he sounded off in the Post Article with Mike Wise (I think it was Wise).

Coach's assessment was way too positive. It was so much spin. The Caps have a .500 record on the road. They performed at that level. They did not move up in the standings. They would not be in the playoffs if they were to begin today. The teams in the East are bunched pretty tightly. There's a huge difference between winning 6 out of 10 and winning 5 out of 10.
