Caps really turning it on, JaVale turning it up!

Caps are on a a 5 game winning streak.  They have looked especially good lately in the 5-1 win at Carolina followed the a 3-1 home win against the Devils.  This is the team everyone in DC expected to see when the season began.  Ovie is on a 3-game goal scoring streak (although the last one came as an empty netter), and Semin continues to be on top of the league's scoring sheets.  On Wednesday, the Ovie, Semin, Backstrom line combined for 12 points, a team record.  Lastly, my boy Fleischmann got another goal last night, pushing his total to 5.  He's really turning it on this year and becoming the player everyone expects him to be.  You can just see he skates with a lot more confidence.

On the flip side, the Wizards finally got their first win against a banged up Jazz team on Wednesday night.  JaVale was a freaking monster!  He played 27 minutes, scoring 13 points, grabbing 11 rebounds and blocking 3 shots in the 95-87 win.  In the 95-77 loss last night to the Heat he had 13 points and 4 rebounds in 24 minutes.  Against the Jazz he had 13 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.  He's the player the Wizards expected to get when they drafted Blatche.  Keep an eye out, this kid is good.
