When you go by points percentage, Pittsburgh is actually behind Montreal at .391 (Montreal .400). Only teams worse are Nashville and Chicago. The Sharks are actually sitting at .396 which is ahead of Pittsburgh at the moment.

Caps are 4th, for what it's worth, in points percentage right now.

The East is getting interesting, looks like half the teams don't want the Playoffs

- PIT = dunzo and don't care
- BOS = floundering and don't know how to get out (and might score less than last year's anemic Caps)
- NYR = floundering and the core don't care, seems like locker room vibes suck
- FLA = Cup hangover, Bob is bad so far, losing 6 of 7 ain't good (but suspect they'll right the ship before long)
- TOR = w/no AM34 they've found their game (and somehow it's a defensively responsible win gms 3-2 style)
- NJD = hitting their stride with healthy D w/Dougie and LHughes/Pesce back, plus actual NHL goalies again

the glut of .500 teams for WC2 is crazy, 7 teams all within 4 pts of each other for last spot; 88pts could be a Playoff spot

Door is wide open for Caps, who knows, WC1 may be the best position for Playoffs this year w/Metro having the best competition

I’m not a huge Biz fan, but good on him. Sounds like he got his ass kicked though. I can see a part 2 to this story.

Anytime you get kicked in the head 3x — you aren’t doing well.

Assuming his account is accurate, then he’s a good man for taking that beating.

But Paulie Bizz is a bit of a …… trickster. I will leave it at that
