Caps vs. Maple Leafs 1-24-2008 Wrap Up

The Local Yokels:

(Com)Post. Times: one point away, Caps Report. Caps.com.

The Neutral Observers:

NHL.com AP Wire.

The Other Side:

Toronto Globe and Mail. Toronto Star: horrified, no pain no gain. Toronto Sun: calamity, quick return, going south.

Final Thoughts:

The Caps a bunch of thugs? If you listen to some of more rabid denizens of Darwin's Waiting Room you'd think this team was softer than a case of Charmin. The accusation is particularly curious coming from the same Toronto media which has deified one Darcy Tucker. I guess they can't stand the competition. So now the All-Star break comes and (most of) the Caps get another much needed four day break. There's still plenty of work to do on the other side of the break but once it is over, we're officially in crunch time.

50 down, 32 to go.
