Pretty much perfect scoreboard last night. Caps win, Penguins and Rangers get blown out, NJD Carolina and Boston lose
 
Not that’s we need other teams to lose to help us because (a) we are handling our own business, and (b) The gap is just too much for these teams to make up.

what we need are some bubble teams to lose quickly so there are more sellers. That said, if there is not much more movement because teams want to fight for a spot, then that favors us because we don’t need to make a move.

11pts north of everyone else in the conference, and with games on hand over most of them (save Toronto, who is 12 back).

It’s certainly possible that the team could have a messy 10-12 game stretch, and bring some teams back into the top seed race. 100% plausible even.

However it’s definitely their race to lose, at the moment.

12 points is a massive gap in the NHL. Would take 12 games of 500 hockey from us and a 12 game win streak from Toronto to tie. Only 25ish games left, it would require a pretty massive collapse to loose the conference.

The only real question is whether we can keep ahead of WPG for the President's Trophy. For most contending teams I think it doesn't really matter, but I really want us to get it this year.

For me it doesn't matter if they miss out on the President's Trophy - as long as Carberry wins the coach of the year award. At this stage you'd have to think he is the clear favorite.

Like I said. It’s theirs to lose. But cannot be cocky about it 😁
 
Love that there is a competition with Jets for Presidents Trophy. Could be the thing carbs uses to motivate the team through the season. In which case, i want to win it.

895-Prez-Cup. Greatest year in Caps history. Let’s Go! forget the superstitious crap.

One of the most obnoxious families in the entire league. He might be out for the rest of the season? Boo hoo

I would take either of them on my team any day of the week. They play aggressive and tough, and I admire that. I have more issue with guys like Marchant who I consider more of a cheap shot artist.
