Question #1: The playoffs open one month from now. Who is your current Stanley Cup favourite: Chicago, Pittsburgh, San Jose, Washington, or Vancouver?

Pierre McGuire: They’re all good, but I take the Pittsburgh Penguins. The major reason why: they’re the defending Stanley Cup champions. They’ve got Sidney Crosby in the prime of his career, and Evgeni Malkin, last year’s Conn Smythe trophy winner. The additions at the trade deadline – Alex Ponikarovsky and Jordan Leopold, and this is a team that understands winning and their coaching staff is calm, cool, and collected. That’s why I think Pittsburgh.

Craig MacTavish: Vancouver – they are one energized team. I saw them play two games last week – they are energized, they have everybody jumping on the play, they have got great goaltending, and they have got a great opportunity this year.

Bob McKenzie: I will say the Pittsburgh Penguins, although I did have second thoughts when I saw the New Jersey Devils handle them again on Wednesday (so maybe the pick should be New Jersey). I’ll stick with the Penguins for many of the same reasons that Pierre outlined. The ability to elevate their play and to draw on the experience of winning it last year.

No real surprises here; of course they’re going to opt for the safe choice, though the Vancouver pick is an interesting one.  I could see them going deep into the playoffs, but winning the Cup this year?  I don’t know.  Frankly, I’m surprised none of them went outside the question and chose Detroit; even though they’re barely hanging on to a playoff spot, they’re Detroit.  Let’s hope all three of them are wrong.

I was more than a little nervous meeting the congressman on Tuesday. Standing next to the world’s greatest hockey player 40 or 50 nights each winter with a digital recorder is old hat; being in the Rayburn House Office Building awaiting a one-on-one interview with a member of Congress most definitely is not. Washington is home to the no. 1 power play in all the NHL, but that’s a power play that’s no match for the power played up on Capitol Hill.

I was expecting to sit across from the congressman in his office for a few minutes Tuesday and pepper him with questions pertaining to his formation, just last week, of the first-ever Congressional Hockey Caucus, when suddenly and most unexpectedly I learned I’d be taking my interview mobile. And I had no idea where we were going. You can be a power lobbyist in D.C. and not earn more than a few minutes’ time with a Capitol Hill lawmaker, especially at arm-twisting times like these, and I certainly wasn’t one of those. I was a hockey blogger — and one who didn’t even contribute to the congressman’s most recent re-election campaign. Or any of his campaigns for that matter.

But apparently there was charm enough in my appeal to his press secretary last week to make such a meeting happen. More likely, there was a late cancellation in his 5:00 Tuesday timeslot. Anyway, I felt incredibly lucky to be able to make the trip up to Capitol Hill to talk the all important ‘H’ word in public policy this week with Representative Terry.

Hockey.

It’s kind of busy up on the Hill these days, you may have noticed, and sure enough, the premise of the congressman’s question to me was his need to move toward the House floor for a vote early Tuesday evening. He invited me to accompany him on the journey, meaning, I got to ride an elevator for representatives in the Rayburn building, move through an underground parking garage, and access the basement of the Capitol, chatting puck with the lawmaker all the while.

Take that, hockey bloggers in San Jose!

Is this really the first-ever Congressional Hockey Caucus, I asked the congressman as we stepped into the Rayburn elevator.

“Yes!” he affirmed with enthusiasm and emphasis.

“They never heard of one before — when we asked they were just stunned. A lot of these [caucuses] are just recreated every year. So they had not had a hockey caucus before.”

We were making a hasty journey to the House floor, and I knew I didn’t have time for a lot of followup with the congressman. Somebody — the House Sergeant at Arms? — vets proposals for new caucuses, apparently. In this instance, perhaps the Sergeant played hockey himself. Anyway, today puckheads have a powerful set of friends in a high place. And last week a group of hockey playing lawmakers laced up their skates and took to the ice at the Ft. Dupont Ice Arena to skate against lobbyists, in a game to raise money for the cash-beleaguered rink. The game raised more than $50,000 for Ft. Dupont! It was from his involvement that evening that Rep. Terry, joined by New York Congressman Brian Higgins and Illinois Congressman Mike Quigley, decided to form the Congressional Hockey Caucus. Congressman Terry told Roll Call earlier this month that participation in hockey promotes discipline, teamwork, and fitness.

The congressman wasn’t positive of the exact number of members in the puck caucus, but he pegged it at about 10. Not bad for a week’s work. The congressman welcomes membership from colleagues with no background in hockey whatsoever.

“It’s about getting kids active and doing youth sports programs through hockey,” he told me. “My kids, my youngest right now, is doing inline [skating], and he’ll switch over to ice in the fall.”

“I never played organized hockey,” the congressman confessed. “But my youth was spent at the Tomahawk Park, in Omaha, Nebraska, and they’d flood the basketball court in winter, and every kid met there, with your skates, and played hockey every day.”

“I’m just a big hockey fan.”

A Capitals’ fan?

“Yea! A little bit. I haven’t been to a game this year, though.”

Neither has President Obama, I informed the Republican lawmaker. I detailed a bit the other new hockey initiative in town — the Facebook campaign to get POTUS seated at Verizon Center for a hockey game, instead of just basketball.

“He’s a basketball fan,” Rep. Terry noted with diplomacy.

If you could give the President one message in an attempt to entice him to attend a hockey game, what would it be? I asked.

“It’s a fast-paced sport, Mr. President, and you’re gonna get hooked.”

The Nebraska congressman once went on the Colbert Report, but didn't talk hockey then

“I’ve got three boys, ages 15, 12 and 9,” he added. “We sit and watch hockey, the NHL, on TV, we watch the Capitals, we watched the Chicago game on Sunday. It’s very much a family activity.”

The very bipartisan hockey caucus, Rep. Terry admitted, is largely symbolic.

“Some caucuses will get involved in pieces of legislation, but we don’t see a necessity for a lot of hockey legislation,” he said with a laugh.

“But when we start talking about youth programs, exercise programs, that’s when we’ll inject ourselves and say, ‘Hey, there’s indoor activities too that need to be included, even in the coldest months, and it’s not all basketball.”

“We want hockey included in the discussions of youth participation in sports programs.”

As our walk toward a fresh roll call came to its conclusion I asked the congressman if I could share with him three hypothetical policy priorities for pursuit by the caucus. I asked him to give me a ‘Yea’ or ‘Nay’ on each. He obliged.

• Policy objective number one: some manner of formal commemoration in our culture for the Miracle on Ice.

“We should look at that!” the congressman exclaimed.

• Policy objective number two: Special Order speeches on the House floor that simply champion the sport of hockey.

“Yes, that would be part of [the caucus' cause].”

• Policy objective number three: coming to the defense of Washington’s much-under-attack-these-days hockey hero, Alexander Ovechkin.

Rep. Terry, chuckling: “I don’t think we want to get in on that, but I saw that [hit], he shouldn’t have been suspended.”

Washington the new hockey town now has a big hockey-hearted advocate for its sport up on Capitol Hill. There may not be much in the way of federal legislation coming out of the deliberations of the first-ever Congressional Hockey Caucus, but I’m still going to press the producers of C-SPAN to cover its meetings.

First up, the invaders from the District enthusiastically profane a Hawks’ monument out front of United Center.

Inside, the first puck sodas of the day have a way of easing tensions between foes.

Ovi invaded Chicago alright . . . and made short work of his visit.

United Center is a massive building — 22,000-plus cram it for hockey every night these days. Unfortunately, its rafters are clogged with too much hoops hardware.

Can there be a sweeter moment for a fan on a roadtrip than to have a great perch from which to see his team score the game-ender — the culmination of a remarkable last-frame comeback — and to stand up in the uniform of his heroes in salute amid a sea of despondent home fans?

You’re in no hurry to exit the rink while awash in victory’s glow.

When you do, Chicago’s got just a few good taverns to victory toast by. Even recently disappointed young Hawks’ fans could see past defeat and be charmed by an invasion of a company of the Red Army.

Six different players lit the lamp and 11 players had points on the evening. It may be easier to count who didn’t show up on the scoresheet than who did. Brendan Morrison turned in one of his most impressive performances of the year with one goal, two assists, and six shots. Meanwhile, Brooks Laich added an equally impressive night with two goals, one assist, and eight shots. In fact, only one line didn’t have anyone show up on the scoresheet, and that was the fourth line composed of Quintin Laing, Boyd Gordon and Matt Bradley.

It wasn’t just the offense that turned in a stellar night. Jose Theodore, despite giving up three goals, had another outstanding performance between the pipes. He stopped 34 of 37 shots, and a couple of the goals could be attributed to sloppy defense. One thing that seems to have changed with Theodore as the year has gone on is his style in net. While he is still a butterfly goalie, he seems to be playing a little bit looser, and more by instinct. Quite honestly, it just looks as if he is having a blast out there, which is what sports are supposed to be, fun. One of the best parts about watching Jose recently is that he has consistently been throwing down the double pad stack like he is Ed Belfour or Jimmy Craig. Who doesn’t love a tribute to the glory days of pre-lockout hockey?

Meanwhile, at the other end, one of the league’s best goalies, Tomas Vokoun, who boasts a .925 save percentage at home, was chased out of his net in last night’s second period.

It may be unfair that Ovi has to sit out two games, but in reality it may help the team. Head Coach Bruce Boudreau and GMGM have both said they are going to try to get everyone playing time. With Ovi sitting, it provides an opportunity for more players to play and for Bruce to try different lineup combinations. Let’s be frank, Alex could probably use the rest anyway coming down the stretch run.

Last night was the Caps’ sixth straight win over the Panthers, sweeping the season series, but what is more important is that it was Jason Chimera’s second straight rock solid game. The winger has been a solid addition to the team, but he has yet to turn in that string of outstanding performances. With his big frame, rocket shot, and quick feet, Chimera is a valuable asset for the playoffs. If we would all take a trip down Memory Lane to the playoffs last year, Matt Bradley was one of the Caps’ most clutch players, winning a couple of games for them. Chimera could be that this year, if he were to heat up right now and carry the momentum through the playoffs, and the Caps would have a legitimate scoring threat on every line.

In short, this was nothing but a team win. Losing Ovi is bad for his public perception, but at this time of the season it’s not so bad for the Capitals. The team has already clinched the division and has all but locked up a top seed in the playoffs. Sure they haven’t won the President’s Trophy yet (Dallas pounded San Jose last night), but here’s a question: do they really want that since only three teams who have won it have gone on to win the Stanley Cup in the last 10 years? Oh, and two of those teams were the Red Wings.

The Caps are now 6-1-1 since resuming play from the Olympic break. A helpful break indeed, when you think back to how they limped into it.

Juggling lines and playing without your best player and still winning proves one thing: the Caps don’t have to rely on just Ovi. The Washington faithful sort of knew that, but they thought they knew that last playoff season. The Rangers and the Penguins largely shut down Ovi and Semin last spring, and the team struggled to score. Obviously there were injuries and things like that, but in short they shut down two of the team’s best scorers. This year is a much different team and it showed on the ice last night.

Obviously it will help matters when Alex returns after Thursday’s game, but for now let’s bask in the glory of our ability to experiment on the fly — and still succeed. Bruce Boudreau sure seemed like he was having fun behind the bench last night, or at least sort of looked a bit happier than usual. A game like Tuesday night’s called to mind the not so infrequent upsets we see at this time of year, when one non-contending team has a roster full of guys playing for jobs for next season while the other is just trying to keep the good Mojo and remain healthy — except that the Caps didn’t come out flat and afford the ‘Cats any hope of an upset. They got on ‘em early and often, and perhaps better, kept the foot on the gas.

Washington is a legitimate Cup-contending hockey team, they are a more complete team than they were last year, and their play looks as if it is only going to improve. Winning with out Alex is just one way to boost confidence and hone the details.

So I am sorry you had to sit Ovi, and I certainly don’t agree with Colin Campbell (I could write a book about how much I disagree with him), but it may have been for the best, as we now know what the team is made of. And that is nothing but resiliency. And quality depth.

Up to that moment of impact, I’d known quite well that AO was going to be a hockey player unlike any other we’d ever seen in D.C. But as opening acts go, Ovi’s was conspicuous in skill and ferocity. For the remainder of that Calder-winning rookie season the Gr8, as he almost instantly became known, carried forward both dynamic skill and an All-Pro linebacker’s mentality: he scored 50 goals and he crushed people, often dramatically, always cleanly.

By the completion of Ovechkin’s third season, in 2007-08, when he scored 65 goals and swept up virtually all available individual hardware (to recap: the Hart; the Richard, the Pearson, and the Art Ross trophies), savvy, knowledgeable folks in hockey were discussing Ovi in historic terms. He really did appear to be, in unrivaled fashion, a compelling hybrid hockey player: the type of performer who could beat you with his wrists on one shift and lay our your biggest blueliner the next.

The best part of his physicality was its brutality well within the confines of the league’s lawfulness. Even fans of the Capitals’ biggest rivals had to give Ovi his due, if they were serious hockey fans.

But from where I sit this morning, there appears to be something akin to a menacing spirit that’s infiltrated Ovechkin’s game, more a cavalier disregard for the welfare of his opponent than anything characteristically filthy, and it seems to me to have germinated in last spring’s playoffs, with Ovi’s knee-on-knee misfortune with Sergei Gonchar. Were that hit to have occurred in the regular season as opposed to the playoffs, Ovi may well have been suspended. Were it to have happened this week, in light of what’s transpired with him since, it surely would have been. But it was really with that hit, with so many people watching, that Ovechkin gave us hard evidence that something new, something unprecedented, and something potentially sinister was stirring within.

In relatively short order, the litany of Ovechkin’s misdeeds has piled up:

• A corner ploughing into of Jamie Heward that resulted in the Lightning rearguard departing the ice on a stretcher.

• A moderately questionable knee-on-knee collision with Sergei Gonchar. It looks worse in slow motion; in real time, the hit, while meriting a penalty, appears instinctive and reactive in its immediacy, rather than malevolent.

• A brutal boarding of Buffalo’s Patrick Kaleta that earned Ovi an ejection.

• Another knee-on-knee hit, far less questionable, on Carolina’s Tim Gleason, one that injured Ovi. When you watch the clip of it, notice how immediately the Hurricanes’ television announcer forecasts a penalty for the hit. The Kaleta and Gleason hits occurred within a week of one another.

• And this past Sunday’s collarbone-and ribs-cracking act of aggression against Chicago’s Brian Campbell, which may just end Campbell’s season. And Chicago’s hopes.

A few observations related to the totality of this litany. First, there can be no denying that Alexander Ovechkin plays with an edge that, when combined with his extraordinary — and extraordinarily strong — physique, renders him a unique, frankly unrivaled physical threat in the NHL. Anywhere in hockey, for that matter. And that’s part of his appeal.

It also seems fair and accurate to suggest that even in the totality of Ovechkin’s sanctionable hits there’s never been an instance when an observer could attribute, with any sense of reasonableness, any level of malice in Ovi’s play. But that doesn’t mean that what he’s been too commonly engaged in of late is right. Moreover, to state the obvious, to the extent that his style of play ushers in suspensions, he’s hurting his hockey team — the one he now captains.

What seems to have emerged in the last 12-15 months with his game is a peculiar and at least troubling lack of respect for his opponents. It’s a remorselessness. It was abundantly on display in video interviews of him in Sunday’s aftermath. At the very least, Ovi seems blissfully unaware of the novel physical advantage he enjoys in every matchup he’s engaged in. And he exploits it. There are other players in the league weighing 230 pounds; but there are none who skate like he does, nor possess the seeming genetic makeup to be a fast-moving armored tank on skates. He really is a physical freak. And that advantage has at times dire consequences.

I struggle with this basic question: why so much trouble for him of late, and why the comparatively placid power game of his first three seasons?

“He plays a reckless style,” Montreal’s Josh Gorges told TSN this week. “He’s going a hundred miles an hour, he’s hitting everything that moves, he’s going to the net, he’s burying guys . . . He plays that way, he plays with that reckless abandonment, and sometimes it’s right on the line.”

By 8:00 last night not only was the latest Ovechkin suspension the lead story on TSN’s home page but it was accompanied by damning video clips from the past and opinion pieces themed on whether or not Ovi was a dirty player.

“I want accountability for thoughtlessness,” Ray Ferraro wrote on TSN last night.

I do too. Sunday’s transgression was Ovechkin’s worst to date when measured by the barometer of thoughtlessness. It was simply a play that didn’t have to happen. Brian Campbell was without the puck, 195 feet from the Capitals’ cage. Ovechkin, his general manager claimed last night, was trying “to finish his check.” Notice that George McPhee didn’t claim that he was actually finishing his check — and we all know what that looks like — but rather trying to. Ovechkin in that moment had a judgment to make, and time to do it. He made a grievously, injuriously wrong one.

Josh Gorges aside, no one’s seriously claiming that Ovechkin is a reckless head-hunter. Not yet. But there’s an urgency to bringing Ovi back into the fold — back where he was with this organization during his first three seasons — on a night-in, night-out basis. Today Alexander Ovechkin is captain of his hockey team, and at the most crucial time perhaps in franchise history. There’s no guarantee of the Caps’ again being well distanced from the rest of their conference with the playoffs near, the team’s health outstanding, their Cup candidacy so vibrant and viable. Ovechkin’s franchise and its fans are tired of losing perennially in the postseason. He needs to be on the ice being his naturally brilliant and lawfully brutal self. Brilliant and brutal but fair. And respectful. We’ve seen that Ovechkin before, years’ worth. Hockey and the Caps are best served with his return to that form.

It was one of the more improbable comebacks in Washington Capitals’ history. Down 3-0 entering the third period today to one of the best lineups in hockey, and with the world’s best player banished from their lineup early on, the Caps summoned 20 of the gutsiest minutes of their season in Sunday’s final frame, knotting the game at 3 thanks to a stirring three minutes of overwhelming dominance, going on to prevail 4-3 in overtime before a suddenly sullen United Center sellout and a national television audience.

With the victory the Capitals reached and passed 100 points on the season in just their 69th game. More importantly, they passed a high-profile gut-check with resounding success, overcoming an opening 40 minutes of lethargic and uninspired play with a third period for the ages. They outshot the Blackhawks 11-1 in the final 20 minutes. In overtime, they triumphed on an end-to-end strike from their super Swede, Nicklas Backstrom.

But much of what is discussed about Sunday’s game will focus on yet another Alexander Ovechkin act of aggression. Ovechkin was ejected little more than midway through Sunday’s matinee for a boarding penalty against Brian Campbell.

“I don’t think it was a real good check. He just kind of fell, and it was a dangerous moment,” the Capitals’ captin said. “It was not a hard hit. I just wanted to push him,” Ovi added.

“I didn’t hit him hard. I pushed him, but he fell bad. It probably looks bad. I thought it was going to be two minutes, but the linesman came to me and said ‘Game over.’”

Here’s where some amazing luck arrives. Sunday marked Ovechkin’s 41st game since his last boarding penalty, and per league rules, any player who goes half a season without a repeat offense has his offender’s slate wiped clean. So Ovechkin will at least avoid an automatic suspension. League enforcement czar Colin Campbell, however, could review the play and impose a subsequent suspension on the left wing.

But it was a comeback to remember, and the OFB team reflected upon it with a few early St. Patty’s celebration sodas:

pucksandbooks: Three key achievements now seem to suggest a potentially historic hockey season in D.C.:  the third period comeback from two goals down against the defending Stanley Cup Champion Penguins at Verizon Center on February 7; the team-best 14-game winning streak of mid-January into early February; and Sunday’s stunning three-goal, third period comeback in Chicago, against the Cup-contending Hawks.

It may be true that much of the national television viewing audience Sunday knew little of Nicklas Backstrom’s fast-rising standing as one of hockey’s most impressive talents. He became a good deal better known, however, based on his overtime heroics.

What was so notable about Backstrom’s game-winner was how close he came to earning game-goat status instead. He coughed up the puck near his own blueline at the end of his shift, and Troy Brouwer went in on Jose Theodore on a virtual breakaway. But Backstrom didn’t give up on the play, and his stick-check of Brouwer may have saved the game. That he gathered the puck in the far corner and proceeded to maneuver his way 200 feet around the through Hawks and scored unassisted made him Sunday’s first star.

Jason Chimera had I thought his best game as a Washington Capital. When the rest of his team seemed sheepish and shell-shocked at Ovechkin’s departure, Chimera skated his arse off, and made life difficult for Chicago’s defenders with regular bull-rushes from the outside. He showed me real leadership with Washington’s captain gone.

OrderedChaos: The Washington Post declared that Sunday’s matinee match-up “may be a preview of the Stanley Cup finals.” After the thrilling ending in Chicago today, NBC must be salivating at that prospect.

What a stunning comeback for the Washington Capitals — a team-defining victory on a national stage. The Caps managed to play just 20-something minutes of good hockey, yet came away with two points, passing the 100-point mark with 13 games remaining. Mind you, their opponent was no cellar-dweller either, but rather the class of the West.

Alex Ovechkin’s early ejection clearly rattled the team (the call, borderline in even Mike Milbury’s opinion, is what it is). Bruce Boudreau and his charges were slow to adapt, though to be fair, losing Ovi isn’t an easy mid-game adjustment. By the third period, though, the team had mustered an impressive momentum that seemed to shock the suddenly reeling ‘Hawks.

Nicklas Backstrom sealed the win by proving (again) that he’s among the best in the league. His initial fumble at the blueline he swiftly remedied with an impressive backcheck, then finally an end-to-end rush that yielded the game-winning goal. He quarterbacked the 3-on-2 break to perfection, calmly coordinating the rush while speeding up the ice. I’ve watched the sequence several times, and his finishing move at the end is one of the prettiest goals of the year. But the play taken as a whole? Even better.

Since the Olympic break, it’s safe to say that the Cardiac Caps are back. Sure, the team sometimes lets an advantage slip through its fingers, but at the same time no opponent’s lead is safe — and more often than not, it’s the Caps leaping in celebration at the end of each roller-coaster game.

Gary: These are not your father’s Caps. Heck, these aren’t even your Caps from just a couple years ago. There was a time when you would throw in the towel down two or three goals — like with pre-lockout NHL hockey. Not so any more. The Caps are seemingly especially dangerous falling behind by multiple goals deep into games. Even without the two-time MVP, this team is able to roll through three goals in under three minutes to tie a game and then put it away in OT. Once it puts its collective mind to it this team is dominant, with an exciting style and fast-paced tempo. These are the days you’ll tell your kids and grandkids about (while sounding like that crazy old man/woman).

DC Sports Chick: It’s too bad that today’s game will be overshadowed by all the outrage over Ovechkin’s hit on Campbell, because it truly was a contest for the ages.  I was in the car this afternoon and couldn’t see it, but I was able to get the Chicago feed of the game via satellite radio. It made me remember games from not so long ago when the Caps would have the lead and other teams would battle back to win it, on a seemingly regular basis. It’s encouraging that the Caps are now the ones to turn the game around in their favor; the win is even more of a statement that they can get it done without their star player.  Today’s game was a sign of positive growth for the team and tells the world that they’re heading in the right direction.

Alex: Chicago is an equal among top teams in the league, and their first two periods had me worrying about what might happen in a post-season matchup in June. But then I saw that teams as good as Chicago (and Washington) can struggle at any given time in a game. The Hawks’ stifling every Caps breakout attempt and puck possession in the first two periods were intimidating . . . as were the referees’ early calls, but Washington’s active defense and composed forwards in the third period and OT helped DC overcome the greatest of challenges, being down 0-3 going into the third period to a top-3 team in the NHL. Goaltending wasn’t too shabby, either.

The Capitals continue on the road this week with three games in the Southeast. Those games, much like the ones they faced against division foes at home last week, present potential problems with incentives almost as small as the crowds watching them will be. It was interesting for us this weekend to hear Mike Knuble point to meaningful games among the team’s final 14 in the schedule and point to showdowns with Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Boston while not mention any from the Southeast.

Knuble on playing out the string and developing urgency: “There is not much talk about the Presidents Trophy. It is more about your overall play, you are not going to worry so much about your record. The good thing is we are going to be made to rise to a challenge. We are going to see Pittsburgh twice, Chicago and Boston, who is trying to get into the playoffs. We are going to see five or six games where you have got to play playoff caliber hockey . . . or you will get run over. It is here, it is in the room, we are not grasping at air. We just have to come out and play stronger and [there has got to be] more urgency. We have to realize the playoffs are coming and you just don’t flip the switch once the playoffs come.”
