Another two points; another sellout crowd; and another productive day of work.
We have so many things to work on. We need to get better but we do have 68 points right now playing mostly against teams NOT in our division. I am pleased with where we are and that we have gained 5 of 6 points available since the All-Star break.
Alex Ovechkin leads the NHL in goals and Mike Green leads all D men in goals and points. That is a powerful one–two punch, isn’t it?
It is amazing to consider that Alex isn’t even finished with his fourth year as a pro - he has 30 or so games left in the regular season - and already has 199 goals scored, one more to get to 200. That is astounding. He is averaging 50 goals per year for 4 years. Yikes! :-) I think he will be number 4 on the Caps all time goal scoring lead by season’s end too…in just 4 seasons!
We now have the second most points in the East and we play NJ on Tuesday in NJ. That will be a very tough and very competitive game.
Beating Ottawa today felt good as well. I remember a game where they put up 11 goals on us. They were scary good. The tables have tuned now and we play with a lot of confidence against them. Go Caps!
