This years Caps team is better than last years team. I dont put too much into the Caps reputation as being "chokers" come playoff time and believe they are the team to beat. There are teams that could give them a good series but on paper, the Caps are the beast of the east.
Should be a good one tonight @elocomotive and @ritari330, here's hoping it's not the last meeting of our two teams this season
Puck over glass should not be a penalty, it should be just like icing (face-off in the offending zone with no change of personnel )
Not that it helped last year in the playoffs.I actually like the delay of game penalty, but if you can flip it over the glass and still get it to end up in the player's bench, there shouldn't be a penalty.

Man, Caps really let that Metro lead slip away... anyone's division now.
I'm also not so sure 4th in the Metro (1st WC) is such a great alternative now either.... Price has really rounded into form, and Ottawa has been playing really well. And even if you win the Metro, you might face a red-hot TB.
Not so many easy outs in the East this year...
A little early and before the all-important (sarc) trade deadline, but I am calling the Cup for the long-suffering fans of the Caps.
Solid Goalie and Dmen, 4 good forward lines, this team is solid top to bottom.
Sure, play the games out, but when the ice chips settle in late June, the Cup will be handed to Alexander the Great.
