Washington Capitals Update - Figured it had been a month since I typed out an update.

As we write this the Capitals have a 19-16-3 record with a negative goal differential. Almost half the season has been played and Capitals are inching towards the last playoff spot (need to catch Pittsburgh). We have a 8-2-0 record in the last 10 meaning we have either had an easy stretch of opponents or we are finding some chemistry. We lost Giordano, Klefbom and Sanford to injury since our last update. David Savard came up from the farm and filled in beautifully when asked, for that we thanked him and waived him as soon as we can. So the last 30 or so games have gone better than the first 20.

We have continued our search of chemistry by waiving and buying out players we cant get going in the sim. Since the last update we have signed some depth players like Devin Shore, Ryan Carpenter, Mirco Mueller, Jacob de la Rose (for the 2nd time this season) and Dysin Mayo.

When asked what has been the reason of success, GM Bagopucks had this to say, "I have no clue but its working"

Capitals also have recently signed free agents Massimo Rizzo and Matthew Stienburg. Both are putting up points in the NCAA, that might be all we know about them.

Not much to report in terms of prospect update. Brandt Clarke not being selected to WJC-U20 is a disappointment but meh, we will find a way to recover from our heartbreak.

Hope we can continue our strong play of late and see where we stand in the standings closer to the end of the season.
