 The Capitals' win streak hit a baker's dozen tonight despite looking off their game with two feet of snow coming, a fall referred to by some as Snowvechkin. Washington looks completely unbeatable right now.

The latest Caps captain is a scorer, not a fighter. He's closing in on his third consecutive MVP and hates to come off the ice. So when Steve Downie tried to drop the gloves with him three weeks ago tomorrow and Matt Bradley came in to intervene, it was as heroic as a fight on skates can be. Since then, Washington is 10-0.

I believe in the power of numbers, in tangibles over intangibles. And when looking at the tangibles, Washington crushed Columbus in their trade like they were an SEC team playing the Buckeyes on New Year's Day. They are unquestionably in better salary cap shape. They gave up a guy who's been a healthy scratch in five of his last eight games and a fourth liner for a second (!) liner.

After two games, it looks like the biggest problem for Caps fans this regular season is differentiating holdover Shaone Morrisonn with newcomer Brendan Morrison.

As I've mentioned, the Capitals are pretty much stuck with what they've got on defense. They're too close to the salary cap and have too many guys signed to reasonable contracts to upgrade. The problem is that by holding on to Milan Jurcina and Shaone Morrisonn they're potentially blocking Karl Alzner and John Carlson from making the team out of training camp. This reminds me of a situation faced by Jemaine and Bret of Flight of the Conchords, immortalized in the techno song "Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor."
