Long Wait Until Friday, In the Meantime...

Chew on a couple more Caps items:
  • Canada.com profiles the last couple of games leading up to the Southeast crown.
  • The Saskatoon Phoenix Star profiles Mike Green and his thoughts on Washington's end of the season.
  • Helene St. James notes for the Detroit Free Press that Boudreau should win the Adams trophy.
  • George Richards finds that the Caps are currently running 16-to-1 to win the Cup and 13-to-2 to win the East. He also says that the Caps are -150 and the Flyers are +120 for the first series. I have no idea what that means, but it means were favored. If anybody can 'splain that one, please go ahead.
  • And finally, from the Phillynews.com, some thoughts from the Flyers about facing Ovie and Caps:
  • "They've probably been the hottest team in the league for a month-and-a-half.
    It won't be easy," said Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen.

    "There's no question they're a hot team," Flyers right wing Scottie Upshall
    said. "They have the best player in the league over there."

    "No. 8 - that guy makes them go," Timonen said of Ovechkin. "He likes to
    shoot the puck. You can't give him too much open space. He doesn't need
    much."
