They're huge and clicking , honestly they would be among the favorites if the playoffs started tomorrow.

I like the roster and I think they can keep it up but time will tell

I think it doesnt bode/tell good about NHL that Washington is doing this well/good and without Ovechkin theyr most high payed player comparing player to player skill level speed etc Washington propably isnt higher than middletier team but winning constantly. It tells that NHL is mostly played beer league typicly coast to coast bad defense no structured play etc entertaiment business typic show hockey.. but at play offs it gets tighter and more serious ofc, so this propably wont translate into play off succees, but it seems Washington is one of rare teams in NHL that plays serious hockey.. most teams play whatever typic who cares star cult hockey nowadays in NHL regular season but Washington now has good structure like national team typic level where players and coaches take it seriously. Similar to World Championship typic game theyr structure is much better than other teams so they get to expose other teams who play like pond hockey and so they also get much goals from turnovers when other team's defences are so terrible. Also offensive structure as they attack and defend as a unit
NHL = beer league

Ovi gonna win every cup now

All things considered? No, a fractured (emphasis on fractured as opposed to broken) leg is substantially better than any ligament damage or a clean break by a lot.

It's basically just an extra bad bruise that will eventually heal back stronger than it started, as bones tend to do. That's not the worst thing in the world for a hockey player in their late 30's.
A fracture and a break are literally the exact same thing, but okay doc.

I hope they load up at the deadline because this has gotta be a top 2-3 caps team since they won the cup right??
Easily the best team since the cup, and it’s not remotely close. Probably their 3rd best team all time.
