Are you talking about the same weak division that's won two out of the last three Stanley Cups (and been in three of the last five)?

ZING! Great point.

We've won 9 outta 10 and we're 35-17 since Boudreau took over as HC. 35-17 is a significant stretch making up just about 2/3 of the season. Luck my ass. Not to mention since we traded for Huet, Federov, and Cooke, we've been playing lights out hockey.

No way this is luck. On the contrary actually. I'd say the first month of the season was a fluke. The Capitals since firing Hanlon hiring Boudreau are the real Capitals.

Also, WHEN we make the playoffs we'll be the first team ever to be in 14th place at any point in the regular season and still make it to postseason play.

GO CAPS!
