Read yesterday that the Caps since Thanksgiving(When Hanlon got the boot) are on a 107 point pace. That would be TOPS in the entire Eastern Conference!FAUX RUMORShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403913043629362701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-41800271472659032522008-04-02T09:28:00.000-07:002008-04-02T09:28:00.000-07:00As a Caps fan and a hockey fan in general, I am re...As a Caps fan and a hockey fan in general, I am really enjoying how close everything is.

Contrary to the Rangers rankings, teams should be rewarded for wins & losses ONLY OR mix-match the way points are spread to reward the win (i.e. 3 pts for the win, 1 for OT, 0 for loss). <BR/><BR/>The extra point is stalling the Eastern Conference teams in the last two minutes of every tied game --- defensive posture only and look for the turnovers.<BR/><BR/>..and Faux..easy on the Eastern conf.cheap shots...you don't want any East Coast "I told you so's..." coming from Hawk! ;)<BR/><BR/>tdrThe Dark Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394949785830752700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-89395241949731579822008-04-01T09:21:00.000-07:002008-04-01T09:21:00.000-07:00I can't aree with what your saying here.

I bet ya we win the cup this year. Anyone can, but i like my teams chances. We have good scorers and Ward is playing like he did when we won it allThe Good Staalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12411535773237176472noreply@blogger.com
