Visited SLC last winter thinking itd be a beautiful natural oasis ... ended up being a deserted depressed town with huge emission factories right next to neighborhoods.
Odd and sad

Ryan Smith (owner of team) and also owner of Utah Jazz is on a revitalizing project for downtown Salt Lake. Downtown isn’t nice. Gotta be in the burbs where it is really nice. They have real smog issues there as well through the valley. That said, i love it out there and it is a potential empty next location but not quite there yet.
But this is hockey… go Caps.

LOL I've spent a lot of time in the UT, ID, WY, & MT states...especially during the winter. They all have 'wart towns'. On the whole, they're all huge beautiful states with many Natl parks. But then you have places like Billings MT, SLC, Laramie WY, etc. It's like visiting Norfolk, Tysons, or Crystal City...soul-sucking geographical voids where IQs match the local MPH you reach during rush hour. haha

This says the Caps have played the 6th hardest schedule in the NHL to date. And it claims that they have the 5th easiest schedule of remaining games.
In contrast, Rangers have played the 2nd easiest schedule to date, and have the 9th hardest schedule of remaining games.

Random fun fact for the day - the Caps lead the league in ES goals by 5. They've got 62, next best is the team they beat last night at 57. Their 4.31 GF/60 is almost half a goal clear of second-place Carolina who's at 3.85. Last year they were 28th with 2.36 GF/60. Absolutely insane turnaround.
