Nobody's Coming

After the Washington Capitals scored a rare victory (and even rarer shutout) last night, the Edmonton Sun observed that "only the lowly Penguins have a worse record than the Caps, but Pittsburgh is incompetent for half the cost of the Caps' $50-million payroll." Outspoken Caps owner Ted Leonsis, who is in "the fifth year of what was supposed to be a five-year plan to build a champion," admits it's not going to happen, and is eternally grateful to the 12,000 fans who still show up for the games. "I'm amazed anybody is coming,'' he said.
