Standings Tightening Up

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

We have real parity now in the NHL. Check out the standings.

There isn’t a single team in the league that doesn’t think it can qualify for the playoffs. We are less than 30 games into the season and every team - for the most part - is still in the race.

This is great news for fans; for the league; and for our broadcast partners.

It also shows that the new CBA with its hard cap really has engendered competitiveness.

We play a division rival tonight in Florida. We are banged up but they will be tired having to play back to back games. I am hopeful our fans can help us with that extra surge of energy we will need to fight through all of the drama and injuries we have seen of late.

Come on out and have some fun. See you all tonight. Go Caps!

Groupon Financing
