Does anyone want to talk about the Capitals

It seems this Washington team is stronger without Ovecjkin when they get adjusted playing without him/it.

Your act is stale. And seriously, proof-reading your post before clicking “Post reply” takes no time.

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.

Consider yourself fortunate. If that post makes sense to you, you will need some serious help.

I guess that’s on me for not adding the word hairline, which is what I mean to say. While not a doctor or anything I've found in personal life that people are more likely to say fracture when the injury is less severe, and thought it was a more common thing. Like a brace vs. full cast, walking boot vs. crutches, and so on.

Might be the most mismanaged team in the league. Every smart hf poster who totally knows their hockey knew they were supposed to be shitty pond hockey team designed solely to drag the ENG cherrypicking corpse of Ovechkin to 895 but instead they're playing dominant playoff style hockey and Ovechkin isn't even on the ice. And to add insult to injury the times he's on the ice he's backchecking like a 25 year old Hossa and setting up teammates half the time instead of pitching a tent and a campfire on his island. Like come on GM you had one job bro.
