A long and painful journey

[Zonkerbl]

This has just been a brutal, brutal 10 months since the Caps lost to the Rangers in just about the most painful way possible, a 2-1 game 7 loss. Then there was the lockout. Then there was the brutal, brutal start to the season, with the Caps dead, dead last for much of the shortened season.

Finally, they are starting to turn things around, most recently with a 7-1 beat down of the Florida Panthers. They are currently 10-11-1; their 21 points have them in 12th place, five points out of eighth place in the Eastern Conference and six behind Southeast-Division leading Carolina.

C'mon Caps!
