Today's post will be a just a random list of points to ponder over, feel free to comment along the way or email thoughts.
-The Capitals earned a point last night that they did not deserve in New Jersey, with the exception of Jose Theodore.
-The recent play of Brent Johnson has motivated Theo to play better and it has shown over the last nine periods or so.
-Theo is still the starter
-Tom Poti's presence in the line up is integral to the Capitals success.
-Ovechkin is back on track with 5 goals and 5 assists in his last 4 games.
-Backstrom continues to improve. Against New Jersey last night he was in on every goal. 1 goal and 4 assists.
-Jeff Shultz needs to be a more physical defenseman. He is costing the Capitals goals.
-Erskine and Jurcina have looked better than I think anyone thought they would.
-Tyler Sloan = Stud!!! He has made very few mistakes and he is not noticed on the ice a positive sign.
-Semin's injury looks like a shoulder issue...Is it more serious than we are lead to believe?
-With last nights shootout loss they Caps are 7-1-2 in their last 10 games and lead the Southeast by 5 points going into today.
-Away games: Caps are 3-4-2. That will have to improve as the Caps go to Anaheim, LA, and San Jose next week.
-Home cookin': The Caps have still not lost in regulation at Verizon Center since March 9th. They are 7-0-1 at home this year. Can you say ticket sales!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Nick Backstrom should be on the All-Star Ballot!
-Tim Thomas, not on the All Star Ballot, who thought this whole All-Star procedure up anyways! Thomas leads in almost every goalie statistical category there is.
-Lightning fire Barry Melrose after 16 games, these new owners are a joke. Rick Tocchet, a criminal for sports betting, replaces him?
-Pens trade Darryl Sydor to Dallas for Philippe Boucher, and the winner is?
-The Caps you feel are missing one small piece... Who or what could it be?
-Bagasome
