Compare & Contrast

Happily, the Caps have roused themselves from their December swoon and look like they’re playing with renewed vigor.  It’s still a little sloppier out there than we’d like, but a win’s a win.

HBO has been making a lot – a lot – of the Penguins’ Sidney Crosby and his streak, while in our view doing everything they can to cast the Caps as a bunch of stumblebums led by a guy who looks like he just wandered in from the hotdog stand.

We see things differently.  For example, John Erskine knows how to sport a ‘stache. 

 Sidney Crosby does not. 

And while we’re on it, Alexander Semin is a doll baby.

Sidney Crosby is a crybaby.
