Around the NHL 2024/25

There are like, what, 8 guys having career years on the Caps right now? Reminds me of the Canucks last year.

Strome and Wilson basically doubling their career points/game averages.
PLD and Chychrun matching their career-best years.
Protas and McMichael both breaking out and putting up by far their best seasons so far.
Thompson, a career .912 goalie heading into the season putting up a .921.
And Ovechkin with the 2nd best goals per game rate of his career...at age 38.

Have to give Carbery full credit for pulling this team together - he's got total buy-in

I'm still surprised about the Washington Capitals - I'd have thought they'd fall back by now.

What's their secret sauce?

Stanley, I mean Dubois .......

That'll do it! Do you think it's sustainable?

Strome and Wilson, probably not sustainable. But other than that...PLD and Chychrun aren't having big outlier seasons. McMichael and Protas are maybe just taking the next step. Even a bad goalie can have a great season, and Thompson isn't a bad goalie by any means. Ovi's a freak. They can probably keep it going for the rest of the season.
