Real Estate Still Available on Washington Capitals Island

[Dr John Carlson]

Word is spreading quickly. We were all sold a bill of goods by the prognosticators when they claimed these Washington Capitals were bound for mediocrity, doomed to irrelevance, stuck in Ovechkin Goal Record Limbo.

The extermination of Nicklas Backstrom, T.J. Oshie, and Evgeny Kuznetsov, combined with the arrival of scrappy castaways like Jakob Chychrun, Pierre-Luc Dubois, and Andrew Mangiapane has created a special group of guys who play with renewed vigor. Head Coach Spencer "Carbs" Carbery has the boys operating like a well-oiled machine.

Dylan Strome looks like a stud. Connor McMichael is beating the pumpkin allegations. Big Tom Wilson has returned to All-Star form. And this is all before Alex Ovechkin has even found his footing.

The time to invest is now. The price of the brick is going up.

Discuss.

I genuinely hope this thread has legs, but beat not-the-Flyers a few more times before getting too excited. Come out of October 8-1-1 or 9-1, and we might have something here.
