It's October. I'll revisit this in March. Bye.

I'll re-visit again at Thanksgiving. Calgary and Minnesota look like a dynasty beaters right now too, but I ain't sippin the purple drink yet.
I’ll give you $10,000 if they make the cup final

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.

I won't be glazing or lathering any sacks until I see how they look against Tampa and the NYR.

You can make fun of PLD or Ovie all you want but DO NOT EVER PUT THESE WORDS TOGETHER IN THIS COMBINATION AGAIN!!!! Backstrom is beloved.

To be fair, we beat the previously undefeated Golden Knights and Stars prior to the Flyers as well as the Devils

And that is entirely fair. That said, three wins against good teams is generally considered "a few good wins," not "this team is a wagon, everyone get on board immediately." Win out October, and we're looking at a different conversation.
Exactly!
It's way too early in the season to be getting, either excited, or depressed about your teams chances.
Just enjoy some fun, early season hockey and, whether they win or lose, go out and get laid!

Meh.
The Caps passed the Pens when he was out. He was holding them all this time.

Roy and Chychrun were big adds on the back end and they’ve received good goaltending overall from their duo . Wilson not being injured is also a positive development

It was creative and on a slow night in the NHL, why not? It is a long season. Plenty of time to have fun!

Considering Caps made the playoffs last year and, I think we can all agree, got better in the offseason, it shouldn't even be that surprising. Just that their lack of exciting young talent means they don't get media attention.

as I said it was one of the more creative ones.
Yikes. As a Caps fan, 5-1 is a hell of a lot better than 1-5, but it's still just a six-game sample size. The two recent games against a rebuilding club in Philly, with no centers and coming into the home-and-home shooting blanks in the bargain, aren't worth a lot. The two games against NJ and one each against Vegas and Dallas is quality competition, though, and the Caps came out of those games 3-1. We'll see.
The additions are working out well. They're winning even though Matt Roy hasn't entered the chat and Ovechkin is still thawing out. Chychrun is playing a very solid all-around game, providing welcome offense to a team that didn't have much of it from the blueline last year. That takes the pressure off Carlson to do everything. Their patience with McMichael is paying off. Wilson looks like a prime power forward right now, and will make Team Canada for the Four Nations at this rate.
The doomsday start would have been PLD looking disinterested and MIA, dragging down everything he touches and left with no trade value whatsoever. He hasn't been perfect, but he's anchoring their top scoring line and Carbery is giving them the toughest line matchups, responsibility, and praise. So it could certainly be a lot worse. PLD has been better than expected and he's helping his linemates McMichael and Wilson to a big October so far.

It's also a half measure rebuild/retool. They're not going to be good enough to win anything, but not bad enough to get elite talent either. I'd rather bottom out tbh.
