A tale of two teams...

One is Ottawa, one is Washington...how they've fared over their last seven games:

You could say that Washington at their "best" (and it is their best seven-game stretch over the season so far) is only as good as Ottawa's worst, but another way to think about this is that things tend to even out in the end...Ottawa was not as good as its start, and Washington was not as bad as its start.
