Washington has one bad month? Maybe missing Oshie Orlov Jensen Carlson Mantha for a few games will do that to you. Penguins are 4 points ahead. Maybe wait till Washington has a healthy team to make bold claims like that lol
so lets get this right, injuries are the excuse?
And your comparison is the penguins?
Come on man. The penguins injury issues have been far worse but the play on the ice has been far better.
It's not an injury issue anyhow. It's the team itself. It's just a mediocre team. They have the fewest regulation wins in the whole east as far as potential playoff teams.
The defense is suspect, the offense lacks real pop. It is what it is.
If anyone else was actually playing well in the Metro would WSH even have a playoff spot right now? NYI.....
They are simply the strongest out of the rest that has totally collapsed. They are like BOS, a team going to wrong direction.
