Just to point out one thing: Once again today, the Caps had the schedule advantage. Winnipeg was at the end of a 5-game road trip, played yesterday while the Caps didn't, and then had to travel down to DC. The last two games we've played teams much above us in the standings, but with the NHL schedule the way it is, sometimes you have to play against that as well as the other team.
Credit to the Caps, though. THEY powered through the end of their road trip last week, and they are now winning the games they can win and the games they should win, for whatever reason. It sure looks like the days of wondering which top 10 pick in the draft we were going to get are about over.
