Top 3 ways Capitals can win Metropolitan Division
#1 STAY HEALTHY
Notice I put this one in ALL CAPS. The reason why is because this is the most important way and the number one way for the Capitals to win the Metropolitan Division. It’s important to stay healthy and like my teammate CJ wrote, it’s important this season more than previous seasons.
It’s bad enough that the team will be without Nicklas Backstrom for what appears to be the entire season. It’s also bad that they start the season without Tom Wilson. Carl Hagelin seems to be making strides but nobody knows if he’ll be ready in time and I’m just a blogger not a team doctor.
But things could always get worse. Alex Ovechkin has dealt with injuries towards the tail end of the last two regular seasons and he just turned 37. T.J. Oshie missed a lot of time last year. Not having either Ovechkin or Oshie spells doom for an old team and a window that’s rapidly closing.

If the Caps have injuries up and down the lineup, they might not only lose the Metro Division but miss the playoffs entirely. Nobody is getting any younger so health is of the utmost importance now than ever before.
