I read and I see Peter has now re-evaluated to at least 20 goals. I still believe Chimera’s freakish anomaly of a season will continue, confounding Neil and leading to rage against the graphing calculator.

Re: realignment. Christmas in, er, December! OK, early December. I have longed for the old old Patrick division (the one that fleetingly included the Pens). I have never given a rat’s patootie about all those SE division teams. I remember back in the 80s there was nothing sweeter than beating Philly, NYor the Isles – not just b/c I hate every sports teams from NY and Philly (although that’s a big reason) but also b/c they were division rivals.

PS: Why are the Florida teams in the division with Toronto/MTL/Ottawa? Simple: Half of Canada tries to spend the winter down there. Duh.

No mention of Carlson’s 3 points?

He actually wrote about the chances yesterday if you missed it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capitals-insider/post/could-capitals-jason-chimera-have-a-30-goal-season/2011/12/04/gIQAJEheTO_blog.html?wprss=capitals-insider

Because most of caps fans are retards. Case in point, last Tuesday I went to the VC for Dale’s first game and I sat in front of some gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that) loudmouth fat texan, who actually owned season tickets. He didn’t know the simplest rules, barely knew any of the players, thought everyone on the blues stunk and called Arnott washed up.

That guy is the epitome of caps fans and it’s embarrassing. When I hang around guys from the northeast, I’m pretty shy to mentioned I’m a caps fan and when they give me shit I usually downplay and say I’m not like the rest of them. I’d rather watch a game in shittsburgh or on long island, because at least those fans know hockey.

I think we saw a major difference between DH and BB: no way Gabby keeps Neuvirth in net after those shaky (cough) goals. I do think Neuvy got stronger as the night progressed, but good golly the D (and I include folks who forgot to come back and cover — paging you, #8) was awful through the 1st 40. By the way, what is Neil Greenberg going to do for Chimera when Jason nets his 30th goal of the season? Go CAPS!

Um, because it’s hockey in Florida? And yes, I’ll always be bitter that TB won a Cup before the Caps. Sigh.

Keep it friggin simple…just call ‘em the Patrick (aka Atlantic plus the Caps and *sorry* the Whalers), Adams (NE plus FL), Norris (midwest) and Smythe (west) Divisions just like in the bad ol’ days following expansion of the Original Six. I do think they should embed these “divisions” in the Campbell (east) and Prince of Wales (west) Conferences and all would be fair.

My only exception is the Whalers / Hurricanes belong in the Adams Division as do the Nordiques / Avalanche so they can recreate their old rivalry. Move one of the other Adams div teams no one cares about to the Patrick division – maybe Ottawa, so they can serve as a perennial doormat.
