It seems like we’ve been here before.

Things didn’t go that well for the Capitals this week. They lose more games than they won, they’re trying to give up first place in the division, but they finish all that up by beating the arch rival Penguins. I guess if you’re going to choose one team to beat somewhat regularly that’s the one to beat. Other than that game it was another pretty poor week, results wise for the Capitals.

Now is the time however to not focus on the team so much and focus on the individuals. Now we give out some praise to the players who had the best week on the Capitals. Now is the time we give out our stars of the week.

As you will soon see, and as the title of this weeks post says, this week is filled with lower line players who all had terrific weeks. Maybe for the team to get back on track it’s the star players who need to lead this team, but this week it was the role players who had great weeks. With that said, here are our stars of the week.
