But is the Capitals position in the standings reflective of an authentic Cup-contending team? At the moment, Washington is the streakiest team in the league and has been incredibly inconsistent through 17 games. After two wins to start the season, DC lost four in a row, then won six consecutively, followed by three straight los...

Thanks to a three-point night from Brian Pothier, 28 saves by Jose Theodore and some excellent late work on the penalty kill, the short-handed Caps ended a three-game skid with a 4-1 victory against the Florida Panthers at BankAtlantic Center.

I never once approached him to ask any questions about his health and hockey hopes -- to be blunt, the answers seemed too apparent and pessimistic. Obviously, there's something special about Brian Pothier, and his story took a turn for the dramatcially better in last night's 4-3 win over Tampa: it was Posty's bla...

But if I'm not asking the questions, I'd have Mike Vogel do so, and on 'Capitals 365' Vogs, in typical form, rises to the occasion, chatting with Pothier not long after the team arrived in Atlanta yesterday.

That's bad luck for this blogger, as I had a few good questions I thought for Potsy. But it's more important that he get back with his Capitals' teammates and potentially put a Washington sweater this week on and resume his NHL career.  The Bears, just one point out of first place in the AHL East, are hosting the first-place Bridgeport Sound Tigers in a 5...
