For the longest time we would start stars of the week by saying how well the team was doing.

If three games were played during the week it wouldn’t be rare to be talking about three wins. Or maybe two wins and an overtime or shootout loss. Well things are going as well for the Capitals these days.

Now it seems like we’re talking about more losses than wins when we gather here to discuss the weeks best Capital players. This week is no different. Another three games have passed and we will be talking about two losses. There were some better performances as a team though so perhaps when we gather here next week for stars of the week the team will be back on track.

However, as you know by now, the team as a whole doesn’t get discussed here much. This is where we reward the weeks best players. This week, to me, there was one slam dunk of a choice. The other two were a bit harder, but I think deserving choices.
