The third line has also gone MIA. No points for Perreault & Chimera in the last eight games while Ward has two (one when he was on the fourth line and tonight's SHG).What's concerning is the secondary scoring has dried up, particularly from Ribeiro.
I would laugh if Ovechkin got the Ross and Richard this year.
Very fun game after that start. As Ovy goes, so go the Caps. So happy he's quietly up to 3rd in the NHL in goals...
Gotta think McPhee add's something tomorrow.
Another thing to remember about the Caps great play of late: they've been playing the basement dwellers. The bottom feeders. The weak sisters of the Eastern Conference. When they start having to play Pitt, Boston or Montreal, things will be different.
Besides scoring did you see him jacking some people up?!
Unless it's hockey/change of scenery trades, I sure hope not. No futures out please.
I think if Ovechkin wins the Richard and the Caps make the playoffs, depending on if Crosby plays anymore this season, he would probably be the favorite for the Hart a la Corey Perry.

Something for the third line would be nice without touching any 1st, 2nd's, Forsberg, Kuz, Wilson.
its just a thought, but could it be that he is destracted by off ice affairs right now? half the board wants him traded. i am pretty sure he's damn nervous right now.
Yeah, I'm quite sure Mike Ribeiro's game has dried up due to the speculation on Hockey's Future.
They haven't held on to their second rounder for the past three drafts so that'd be my guess. A 2nd & Kundratek seems like a somewhat expendable package to work off of. Maybe they swap out a top nine forward (25/85) if there's one coming back.I can see a 3rd going out. Playoff revenue
