High praise from ESPN

Just kidding.

They've ranked the Capitals, who are currently third in the standings and undefeated, at 20th in their power rankings.

Now, I'm a thoroughly biased and unabashed supporter of the boys in red, white, and blue, but I certainly don't think that they're going to finish on top of the league. Anyone who thinks so should check themselves into the nearest mental health facility as soon as possible. I do, however, think that their newfound chemistry, tremendous stock of skill, stellar performances, and new style of play warrants commentary a little less tongue-in-cheek than what their power-raking guru tossed out in the Comments section:

"The Capitals are undefeated! Just wanted to say that now while we can."

Schlock it up, boys. We'll all have our answer soon enough.

Ah well, at least we've got Burnside.
