(By Frank Franklin II) Since this has obviously been declared Matt Bradley Week, I'm gonna take another crack at this thing. Bradley was on Mike Wise's 106.7 radio show earlier this week, and since Wise is never shy about asking exactly what he wants to ask, the interview turned into a nice extended discussion of the fighting ethos.

Caps Nation is awash in Matt Bradley-love as this week comes to an end. Being a guy who will get bloody, then take it out on the other goaltender for the game-winning goal will do that. But Matt Bradley is something of a complex sort for a grind-liner. There is so much depth to plumb to find your own "inner Bradley"... There is the "intellectual Bradley," at home in a lab coat and...

The things a man must do to hold down a job in the National Hockey League - things that leave him with a six-stitch gash over his eye or a broken jaw held together by metal plates. Everybody, after all, can't be Alex Ovechkin. Somebody has to be Matt Bradley and Quintin Laing. Too bad Halloween has come and gone.

Oh yeah, and Alex Ovechkin returned: Ovechkin also tallied on Tuesday in his anticipated return from a six-game absence with an injury, but it was Bradley's clutch, Ovechkin-like...
