Even with Monday’s embarrassing overtime loss in Pittsburgh, the Washington Capitals still finished the day with the most points in the NHL (since tied yesterday by the upstart Blue Jackets). Yes, yes, we’ve seen this narrative before, but ya gotta love a team as hot as the Caps in your hometown.
And don’t look now, but the Caps’ Verizon Center roommates have gone on a bit of a streak as well. Our hometown Wizards have won seven of their last ten and are now holding the fifth place in the Eastern Conference playoff picture.
High-scoring wins have brought excitement to D.C. and a flurry of 50% off days at Papa John’s.
Nice to hear some good news coming out of Washington for a change.
