Caps vs. Pengyunz round 1
Oh joy, four games into the season, the Capitals head to the rust belt for a game against the Gary Bettman's favorite team, the Pengyunz. Since it is a Vs. telecast, we can expect lots of talk about how Sidney Crosby is the greatest player human being ever despite the fact he is not smart or talented enough to avoid going blade first into the boards last season. We can't let that get in the way of the NHL's insistence to promote a team from a city/region that has been losing population for over 40 years. Any wonder the NHL is the #4 league?
Alex Ovechkin has been quiet thus far, scoring only two goals in three games. The rest of the Caps have been shooting the puck pretty well, having scored at least four goals in every game.

I think the city itself has only been losing population for about 25 years. I also think the population decline has subsided, although some people are just moving out of the city and into the burbs due to the taxes.
If you haven't noticed, the league is promoting CROSBY the player, moreso than the team. They are trying to follow the NFL's marketing playbook, where teams are less important but more important to pump the players. Besides, what are you complaining about? Ovechkin has been getting juiced as well. I saw him ESPN the Mag this year. He also did in-studio analysis for the NHL finals.
