  1. I never would have predicted this onslaught of scoring by our Caps this year. I always keep my expectations in check so as to not get too disappointed. That being said, I am elated to watch The Gr8 Chase, with all these goals and wins. Way beyond my expectations!

  2. Not just that, he’s also in the top 10 in +/- even though most of his goals have come at even strength. The truly amazing part is how well his line is playing for 200 feet.

  3. Man I’m so happy the caps made the moves they did. This time last year I figured we would be sitting where the pens are just chasing Ovi number.

  4. I didn’t think this was possible he looked washed up in years past and had pretty bad starts. People were crapping on him for the cheetos and subway, and it seems like in the offseason he got better in Russia and looked more motivated. I was skeptical when he went out there during the Caps 50 Fest and said “We not going to be suck again”, but boy this season has really alarmed me. I’m not a hater but I do try to be level headed and avoid any biases.

  5. misleading title, Ovi is tied for 1st with two others, meaning he is not leading the NHL

    And McMichael is tied for 4th with 4 others
