Hard to believe the Capitals are sitting behind the team-that-shall-not-be-named in the standings. After signing Brooks Orpik and Matt Niskanen, I thought that Washington would be near the top of the standings this season.
Nice try at sports metaphors there. I'm almost surprised he didn't say "it's the bottom of the 9th as we head into the home stretch. We're gonna make a three-pointer and then kick the extra point on a new nickname for the University of North Dakota."
