Nonetheless, in the Flyers postgame, the personality-lacking captain and morose head coach just moaned about being caught in a shootout and all the turnovers. What buzzkills. I guess Buce is a Flyers fan, or maybe just virulently anti-Caps, but he's right in that it's just three games in. Let's wait until mid season to crown anybody anything and start predicting records being broken. Despite the clear offensive potency, Washington has a LONG way to go defensively if they are to be Cup contenders. The benchmark, I think, should be the Bryan Murray teams in 84-85-86, and this year's version doesn't nearly have the punch or potency of the Langway-Stevens-Hatcher bunch. I said it before and I'll repeat it: it's moronic that the NHL has the Caps in the Southeast and Philly in the Atlantic despite a 130-mile difference. Only three more potentially thrilling regular-season games left. Best game between these teams since probably the late 80s.

I don't know how much of the Ovechkin slobbering I can take. It's 3 games. Have a look who was leading the league in scoring after three weeks last year. The Caps are not the most exciting team in the league and if last nights game said anything, it's that the Flyers are a much better team top to bottom. 3 lines of offensive players compared to the Caps's just one. If I'm going to nominate the best player in the league, I would probably look at one that beat Ovechkin in a seven game series and then captained his team to the Cup. That is the best player in the league, not the clown who acts like a retarded 8 year old every time he scores. Good Lord! I don’t know how much of the Ovechkin slobbering I can take. It’s 3 games.
