right to the edmonton oilers, and here comes the oilers, right n all alone. o'sullivan, the follow up to horcoff, 1-0 edmonton oilers. there >> joe: horcoff getting it. ovechkin and the caps are offside on the rush. >> craig: tough couple of games for scultzy. last night off his skate boot. here he coughs one up the middle with his partner not around. his team now trails by one on the giveaway, trying to pass up the middle, joe. >> joe: edmonton in washington, locker, each team with the same amount of wins in december. both won five times. the oilers were outstanding on the road trip of their own, took five straight but then they have had problems winning inside their own barn. jumping to the advantage by the blue. >> craig: the first time ever in the history of the franchise they went 5-0. and they beat some big one. dallas, florida, tampa bay, and st. louis. as you look at the numbers for pat quinn, starts off well. november a bit of a dive. december, back up to the numbers he was expecting, taking over as the coach. >> joe: care to guess how old alex ovech

the oilers, 8-7462 on home ice. as you mentioned, not doing well the last four games, have struggled here at home. >> joe: capitals with the control off the draw. deslauriers high on the window. at a point position, tyler sloan. good read there. he jumped into the passing lane. sneed will set it up for cogliano. -- >> craig: doing a lap in just about 14 seconds, joe. that's fast. >> joe: here he comes. shoved along the dasher board. n. this one will send semin the other way. alexander semin hooking off. reenforcements are coming. there's backstrom muscled well wide. poty had time. gilbert is there. american born blue liner getting help from horcoff. no score on the big boards, where it marts the most. the capitals with the highest first scoring team in the business. stone letting it go. >> craig: that's a great save. there ryan stone coming in, all alone. he's a second rounder, joe. and he just let that fly. good breakout and passing sequence there. i like his start so far for neuvirth. much better than not carrying

i don't think the edmonton oilers know and knew what hit them. the team in white has put together one heck of a road period here. pat quinn along with the fans are as surprised as his team is. again, gets his own rebound. back of defense, and another sharp angle shot, deslauriers would have stopped in the first. he doesn't stop two of these in the third period. that backstop one, identical to the ovechkin second goal. just not playing as sharp as he was in the first. two sharp angle shots, and all of a sudden, looking like the caps will come out of here with points. >> joe: locker, i can't help but go back to a comment pat quinn made earlier in the day about ovechkin, calling him a gift to the game and that his leadership permeates the whole team like gretzky in the days gone by where almost by osmosis the team would elevate the play level, and ovechkin did it. he was quiet, but then in the first eight minutes of the third, he said boys follow me. >> craig: you always want to end the road on the last game in strong style. this is a game they can

the oilers this last book is no. 5. we're talking of all the books that you have done before, when you go out and speak, which look to people asking the most about? >> that is interesting. "tipping point" has probably been read by the most people. it has been out along the. it has in the -- it has an idea that applies is up to different domains. that is an occasion for much discussion. but "outliers,"it affects everyone's interest in one way or the other. it is hard to say what the -- which one has provoked the most responses. but it would probably be "tipping point." >> sunset if you are -- some say you are paid as much as $80,000 to give a speech. >> i hate to talk about money. it can be a very good living, it is true. >> anywhere from $40,000 to $80,000 to give a speech. what is the experience like to stand up for 90 minutes? do you worry about it? >> not really. i do not get nervous before public speaking. for a very simple reason. i am a nervous person, but i used to be a runner and would get insanely nervous befor

the oiler>> i would echo some oe comments of my colleagues. i think the president is very fortunate to have the three of you, and our country is even more fortunate. i appreciate your service and i appreciate how hard you have worked at coming up with the best answer on the list of very bad choices. it was not surprised -- it will not surprise you that i want talk about contracting. when i joined this committee in 2007, no one could tell us how many contractors were in iraq. there was not even the number available. we have made progress. now i want to talk about the data base that we put in place to try that track contractors, and the problems are rising about a lack of consistency between usa id, state, and how much we can rely on the numbers. but to the extent we can rely on the numbers, as of june we have approximately 75,000 contractors in afghanistan, and 52,000 private security contractors in afghanistan. the interesting thing, the stark differences between iraq and afghanistan is the predominance of afghans in our contract in force. 50,
