This weekend, the Caps face the biggest threat to their hold on the Southeast Division (Florida Panthers) and their biggest threat in the Eastern Conference (Boston Bruins).
The latter comes tomorrow afternoon in Boston, where the red, white and blue visit the Bs. And, although the New Jersey Devils might have something to say about it, right now the Caps and Bruins are fighting for the top spot in the East.
But it's going to be hard to catch the Bs, who have a nine-point lead on the Caps and have won their last two games by a combined 12-1 tally. The Caps are 2-0-1 against Boston so far this season.
In yesterday's 4-3 win over the Atlanta Thrashers, the Caps continued to parade to the penalty box and were saved only by the fact that the visitors took more penalties than they did. It also didn't hurt that the Caps are vastly superior to the Thrashers.
The Caps need to stay out of the box this weekend and start to exhibit the kind of behavior they'll need in the playoffs: discipline.
