Still trying to figure that out. The D was called “Overload” by Friedman. The offense so far seems to focus on neutral zone stuff and opportunism. Still learning!

While this article is a good article in general, I’d say it’s uncalled for to refer to Johansson as a bad apple (per link). Granted, he is having a terrible year. I’d be one of the first to admit that. But to call someone a “bad apple” would imply problems with character or in the locker room and I think it is too strong to refer to MJ as that.

1995—Been there, done that except we don’t have Bondra for bailout.

At this point as Peter the Wizard pointed out to me, there is just too much noise to discern one particular problem. I think all we can do is what we did back in the Cap Center days, enjoy the high points as much as possible and don’t let the low points get you down. I say we need more live bulldog shows with intermittent hockey analysis to cheer us up.

the big picture up top might be the most Capitals picture of the year so far.

I think the answer is simple. The season thus far only serves to vindicate my oft-maligned opinion that brooks laich is not only the handsomest but also the most important hockey player alive today. The heart knows hockey metrics that the mind cannot fathom.
