That angry fisherman is very scary. It''s really funny, I don't pay any attention to the west (save the canadaian teams (mostly all the CA teams I forget exisit)). I think that the C-A-P-S are actually doing pretty good this year. They are middle of the pack right now but with Semin and Ovechkin on the same line (as well as being on the PP line (the caps have always had a fgoof PP line)) they are scoring points. The lightning gave them a good trouncing. (a quick check of the standings the caps are in last place (they weren't last night)). They are also in a tough division with lots of young teams.
I was really shocked (well not terribly) about the shake-up at the Flyers. They have been an old slow team the longest. I think that the Rangers were still an old slow team a couple of years ago. (before we dumped Jagr) It's a new game and you can't have a goon squad in the new NHL. The Flyers have always relied on intimidation with the big bruisers. ( I was going to put "like Brashear" but he plays with the Caps

)
Jeremy Roenick is playing for the Coyotes. Maybe not as concussion prone as Lindross but he missed nearly a month for one concussion.
