Are the Caps this year's biggest frauds?

[Mez]

Only 4 teams do.

People saying the Canucks were trash last year and thought they’d be upset by the Preds or embarrassed by the Oilers were wrong.

Where did I say they were trash? all i said was that the Caps are getting high PDO right now and I dont expect they make it out of the 2nd round...this isnt hard to understand.

That’s a safe statement for every team.

I also said people, I didn’t say you.

those 16 games span was a little nosedive:
First 18 games with Ovi P%=.750
Next 16 games w/o Ovi P%=.656
Next 20 games with Ovi P%=.775

Wasn't a knock on Ovechkin at all. Players like Protas, Wilson, McMichael, Dubois and Chychrun all stepped up. Logan Thompson has been lights out all year. They lead the league with 10 players with 10+ goals. This is a special team and they have the best coach in the NHL. Nobody was named to a 4 Nations Tournament team so they get to rest for 2 weeks. Ovechkin being out just gave other players the chance to prove that this is a deep and dangerous team.
