Capitals Notes: (From the Capitals Insider)
- Tom Poti and John Erskine were, to put it delicately, not so good in Philly. And Coach Bruce Boudreau says only one of the pair (or never-again pair, as the case may be) is willing to admit as much.(Washington Times)
- Caps' top line is pretty good. (Express, - PDF, p. 16)
- 8-19-28 the best Caps line EVER?!?! Who knows, but it's probably not the worst. (On Frozen Blog)

Fun test this early
It’s not often that 3 games into the season you’ll play a team that has the league’s top 4 scorers.
Given our propensity for odd-man rushes against, Henrik better be on tonight or this could get out of hand as quickly as an action-newsteam brawl.

Avery v Green
Shame we won’t get to see that match-up tonight. It’s more than just a hockey feud; As a fashion aficionado, Avery is alleged to be thoroughly offended by Green’s haircut.
Rozival Again!
Another give away by Rozival which leads to a goal for the opposing team. There is atleast one goal if not two a game tied to Rozival. Stick a fork in this turkey he is done!
