For a team that has never won the cup, Canuck fans are quite obnoxious.
The Capitals, unlike the teams ahead of them and also immediately behind them in the standings, have the luxury of playing Carolina, Florida, Tampa Bay, and Winnipeg four and five times this season. Their record against those teams, including last night's result against the Lightning, is 12-3-0. That should tell you everything you need to know about how fraudulently this division title is going to be won by whichever team backs into it least-hard: The Caps' record against teams outside the Southeast is a brutal 8-14-2.
It doesn't really seem fair that, simply on the basis of geography, a team that actually deserved to win home ice by racking up a large number of points against teams that wouldn't struggle against middle-of-the-pack AHL sides won't be able to do so. People talk an awful lot about how the Maple Leafs aren't even that good, and they're probably not wrong, but they have 46 points playing in the only division in hockey with two 50-point teams. This is far more of an accomplishment than leading the only one with three teams at 34 or below. And only doing it by six points.
Was at the Isles/TB game on Saturday. Biggest crowd I've seen all year, including the home opener.
And theyre advertising the playoff push stuff. Starting to believe....
Of 806 NHL players, the Jets' Olli Jokinen is ranked No. 805 in plus-minus. He's -18. Only Erik Gudbranson of Florida, at -20, ranks lower.

Steve Mason signed a 1 year deal at $1.5 million.
That's good value compared to Chris Mason in Nashville.
Back as in playing?!

Man, you should be able to walk into one with ease. I want to be in Montreal, but not being bilingual kills that dead in the water. So I'm relegated to Anglo-Canadian locales.
