La Coupe Hauxer

A battle for hockey bragging rights through head to head competition between each of our favorite teams - Devils (Brad), Flyers (Wiley), Penguins (Sam), and Capitals (Fritz/William). The winner(s) gets the historic La Coupe Hauxer and the universal currency of respect/adminiration. The loser(s) gets the Stanley Screwdriver, the universal currency of humiliation and has to buy everyone dinner at the Vienna Inn. Game on!

So the sun does shine on a dogs ass every now and again.

Woo-hoo, so the capitals squeaked out a bs win in overtime. I would not start dusting off a place on the shelf for the trophy just yet. You seamed to gloss over the fact that you were sitting comfortable with a 3-0 lead only to have the Flyers catch up. The caps were probably just a little excited since they finally got a coach who has an actual winning record. You had one brief day in the sun, enjoy it, cause you know it sure as hell won't last.

Who is worse, the worst team or the team that loses to the worst team?*

The Capitals sure have been struggling of late, so much so that they fired their head coach. Thankfully, the schedule came up the Caps way with a meeting in Philly with the improved, but still thuggish Flyers. Going back to last season, our Nation's Capitals OWN Philly.

The Caps came out inspired, scoring three goals in the first two periods. Even gentleman and scholar Donald Brashear tallied one. Of course, down 3-0, the dirty Flyers started gooning it up (I think Danil Briere start swinging a purse) and there was some questionable officiating to get the Flyers back in the game. In overtime, Washington made short work wit birthday boy Nick Backstrom scoring the game winner off of an Ovechkin pass.

So, what can you say Wiley? Your Flyers can't beat the worst team in hockey.

*It turns out the answer is actually Pittsburgh.

Caps vs. Flyers at 1 p.m.

The Capitals finally brought in a new coach and now head to South Philly for a matinee with Wiley's Flyers.

Right now the Caps are the worst in the NHL, so just think about what it would mean for the Caps to pull off an upset this afternoon.

Lets update the board!

After last nights 3-1 spank over the penguins I do believe that puts me at 3-0. So lets see the new talley on the score board. Wow, I have already won 3 times as many games as I won last year, woo-hoo!
