@ HITTMAN I see your point, but I prefer to see the Guinness pint as half full: That’s an impressive save percentage, and many of those shots were long-range or from bad angles.

Good article. Just wanted to add that the notion of a President’s Cup curse is silly. If you crunch the #’s teams actually win at the most frequent clip from that position. It’s just not likelihood with 16 teams in the fray.

What concerns me most about last night’s victory isn’t that the Caps put up 7, but that they let in 3 on a whopping 37 shots! 37 shots from a team that is 4th from the bottom in scoring all season. With that kind of defensive “effort” the Caps could potentially give up 37 shots a game come playoff time against even the lowly Bruins, who are tied for 3rd lowest goal total in the league and currently sit in 8th in the conference.

Great post Andrew; I agree that this is a great sign for the Caps. My problem with Colin Campbell is not so much that he suspended Ovi (I’ll admit to having a Caps bias on that), it’s that Campbell is wildly inconsistent in how he doles out the punishment.
