George McPhee....The Teflon GM. 15 years of failure and counting....
6 - Number of playoff series the Capitals have won since George McPhee took over as General Manager in 1997 (which makes him the third-longest-tenured GM in the League), three of which came in McPhee's first season on the job.
- Nicky was a beast, and this is the 3rd game in a row where he has been very good
- Ovi was great. No goals but he was shooting. He was hustling. Backchecking. Can't ask for more. If he keeps this up he will get his goals/assists
- Green has been good so far this season. He's not the physical player I'd like him to be, but he's been solid.
- Bryz wasn't the same after he took that hard shot from Ovi. Let in two quick goals after that.
- Earskin hit just about anything that moved
- MJ was okay. The Swedes work well together. Keep the lines from tonight.
- We will beat the Pens.

Agree with all you said here, but especially the line combos. They were clicking all over the place.
If you like breaking people's skulls and getting suspended, sure.
Those hits and fights have no place in the game. They delay and injure other players.
Yeah, this was one of the few dark spots on the game for me. I didn't expect something like that from Erskine, he's a heavy hitter but he's always been clean. I hope Wayne's ok.
I'd rather have the electrifying offense that scared opponents other than punching them in the face.
Same here, but if never hurts to have some grit,....this team sure can use it.....not saying I want to see anybody badly hurt, but bloody hell, every opposing teams crowds our crease with no fear
its part of the game and happens if you dont like it the wizards needs some fans
It does happen no doubt. Just don't like being two faced about it. If you didn't like the hit on Backstrom then you shouldn't like this one either. Personally I don't like any of it. Put me in the group that would like the Caps to win like the Lightning score tonight. Not by some cheap assed elbow.
Only got the 2 last periods, but enjoyed it seems like the team is starting to roll...
But I expect Erskine to be lost for 3 games, exactly the same what Volchenkov got 3 last year for.
