A weekly peek at the state of the Washington Capitals.
The Synopsis: The Caps enjoyed another great week, with two big wins and a superb effort in a loss at Joe Louis Arena. The team is starting to get healthier, with goalie Semyon Varlamov expected to play this week and Nicklas Backstrom not that far behind.
Even so, they've got the game plan down and are executed fantastically. Fans and franchise members have a reason to be as optimistic as ever heading into the final nine games of the regular season and the start of the playoffs.
If the team can get everybody back before the postseason begins, it might be quite the ride between mid-April and early June.

In the section entitled "RECENT TRANSACTIONS" you wrote that the Capitals signed someone named Garrett Mitchell without bothering to tell us who the heck he is, how big or small he is or which position(s)he plays. You also failed to define monetarily just what's meant by a three year entry level contract..
