Caps Continue Defying Expectations This Season



They have been at or near the top all season and it’s continued even without Ovechkin for the past eleven games.

  1. I predicted 49 wins from them in September and another cup victory. Didn't think I'd be this close lol

  2. I love the caps, been a fan since 94, but I still am not sold tbh (unpopular opinion) Too many come from behind victories right now, we might be winning, but its not a good way to win. I think we hit a low in January, maybe even as soon as Ovi comes back, but I think we end up close to the WC, if not in it by playoff time.

  3. This is the first season in years where Washington's roster hasn't been gutted from injuries, so I expected them to be a strong bubble playoff team, but nothing like this. It's like when Vegas had that one terrible season of injuries but instead the Capitals had three of them in a row, so people stopped considering them to be a good team.

  4. When you look closely, you can find reasons to think that the Caps, Canes, or Devils will have the best record in the East. They'll be highs and lulls all season (Caps are the only 1 of 3 that has not had one) but it looks to me like a horse race until April for playoff positioning right now. Getting 1st in that division will give a much easier first round opponent come playoff time.

    I don't see the Caps as a cup contender for the simple reason that they have little in terms of credible star talent aside from Ovi. Ovi is such a slow skater these days and will not likely get any faster after returning from his injury. He didn't register a single point in last year's playoffs when they were swept by the Rangers. Defenders in the playoffs are more likely to give up the body on shot blocks and boxing his big frame out down low in the playoffs and he's kind of a one trick pony with only that shot in his arsenal. Can't say that guys like MacMichael, DuBois, and Strome scream game breaking playoff talent; though Wilson often does deliver.

    The top of the Metro is stacked.

  5. We might be winning without ovi but it's not comfortable or pretty.

    There is a CLEAR difference between the caps with him and without him

  6. I know you sometimes the comments can get you down and you even joked about this in the video but kindly do not make any more caps videos. I loved this one and your content but the curse speaks for itself lol
