marcus is doing well, as is matthieu perrault. i think the caps will do just fine for the year.

I think the Caps will be fine in the long run too, but it is a bit of a problem that they can go into such a prolonged funk. Doesn't work so well in the playoffs. I hope they right the ship. They are one of the most entertaining teams in the league when they are on.
