It's a little earlier but I'll get this out there.....
Caps signed Wilson and are bringing back their roster just about intact except Trotz....
Can they go back to back .....

Back to back will be tough, but the curse has been broken.

This KHL signing could provide some more depth ..... novacapsfans.com/2018/09/01/deeper-dive-into-new-washington-capitals-signee-sergei-shumakov/Deeper Dive Into New Washington Capitals Signee: Sergei Shumakov Whew. That was getting dicey. After the Washington Capitals were rumored to have landed coveted KHL winger, Sergei Shumakov, his agent came out and said that report was false. But after four nervous days the Capitals were finally able to sign him to a one year two-way deal worth $925,000. This is rare territory for the Capitals who haven’t signed a free agent out of the KHL in, well, maybe forever. These uncharted waters are a perfect place to find a hidden gem that costs close to nothing. LAST SEASON (KHL) Last season, Shumakov scored 17 goals and 23 assists for 40 points in 47 games. For his team, CSKA, he was tied for first in points and +/- (+28); he was also second in goals and assists. And though his team seemed to roll all of their lines close in time on ice, he was still ranked 7th among forwards on time on ice with 15:07 per game. The top three forwards on the team played between 16:05 – 16:28, so he was probably playing on the 2nd and 3rd line throughout the season. But he did lead his team in points per 60 with 3.38, so he probably should have received more time. If he did, he probably could have scored close to five more points. His 40 points tied him for 19th among all forwards in the KHL. His +28 was tied for 1st in the league. And his 3.38 points per 60 was ranked 6th in the whole league. For players 26 and under he was tied for 5th in points among forwards. But what’s interesting is, like on his own team, his 15:07 of ice time per game was one of the lowest among league-league leaders. All 18 player above him in the points race played at LEAST 16 minutes besides two, and one of them was over 30 years old. 12 of the 18 skaters played over 18 minutes. In fact, the average ice time of all 18 players ahead of Shumakov is over 19 minutes. If Shumakov received four extra minutes a game then he might have averaged around 10 more points last season. That would have bumped him up to 50 points in 47 games, tied for 6th among forwards.

Banner raised and a blowout win. Wilson suspension sucks though.

Caps started off a little shaky, but rallied from a 2-0 deficit against the defending champs. This team has a little more "bite" than last year, I expect to see some more physical play going forward. Shame they didn't repeat, but ultimately the injuries did them in. They've got another year before some things might change - as I expect they are going to re-sign Backstrom to a long-term deal, but perhaps lose Holtby. The big change might be when Ovi's contract is up if he decides to stay or return to Russia. For now they've got as good a shot as ever and I'm really excited to see Samsonov in the net some.

Hopefully the pressure of trying to repeat is gone so they don't lay an egg in the first round again.

Hopefully the pressure of trying to repeat is gone so they don't lay an egg in the first round again. I wouldn't really describe that as laying an egg. Carolina was a young, scrappy team that finished only a few points back in the standings. The Caps had two key injuries and also Backstrom was playing hurt. To me they played their hearts out, but just between the injuries, the grind, and a 7 game series, they just didn't have much left in the tank.

Most exciting 2-1 game I've seen in a while. Up and down the ice, pucks flying off of posts, crazy saves by both goalies.
Don't look now, but the Caps have the best record and best point differential in the league, and are at the top of ESPN's power rankings. Offensively they look like a juggernaut. Vrana is quickly becoming a star.

Vrana is quickly becoming a star. They never seem to be out of any game. Even though they didn't win Monday, came back from 3-0 to pick up a point in the shootout loss.

Nothing like scoring a goal while multiple brawls are breaking out. Solid win last night.

Not sure if anyone is paying attention, but the Caps look like President Trophy material.
