This is what Corey Masisak wrote...
"...what Boudreau has accomplished in a short span with the Caps is remarkable. This career minor leaguer has transformed them from the worst team in the NHL into a legitimate contender, albeit in a weak Southeast Division."
Well, you know what?...For the reputation the Southeast has as being "weak," it hasn't shown up in the Caps' performance against non-Southeast teams.
When the Caps changed coaches in November, they were 6-14-1. This morning, they are 32-28-8...26-14-7 under Boudreau. They are also 7-5-2 against Southeast teams since Boudreau took over, which -- if our arithmetic is correct -- leaves them 19-9-5 against teams not in the Southeast under Boudreau.
And here is your fun fact for today...
The Caps have at least a .500 record (based on points earned of those available) against every division in the NHL this year but one...
ATL: 8-7-4 (20 points/19 games)
NE: 10-8-0 (20/18)
CEN: 1-1-1 (3/3)
NW: 3-1-0 (6/4)
PAC: 0-0-0 (0/0)
SE: 10-11-3 (23/24)
They certainly will have their chances to improve upon their Southeast record with eight games yet to be played, including the last seven of the season.

Peerless, just not a good game today, hey? The home town boys played to lose. Only scoring one goal and all those penalties -- my goodness.
