I still can't believe this team is still 3 or 4 years away from peaking. Ovechkin, Backstrom, Green, Semin, and Varly will all be seasoned vets in their mid 20's, and Alzner and Carlson will be full time pros. Even Fehr is starting to like a core guy. Then you have seemingly random young guys like Flash and Perreault contributing on any given night. Theres even the possiblity that Neuvirth will develop into a qualtiy NHL goalie in one or two years. Throw in great value free agents like Knubble and Morrison and you see what a well run franchise can do.

Even without Ovechkin this is a very good team and thats scary. Still I'm ticked that Sopcast started shorting out late in the third period would have loved to have seen them come back live. You have to give it up for Carey Price though, some of those saves would easily have been goals against other goalies.
