I can list Penguins who played well too.
And nobody’s saying Caps aren’t a good team.
Letang was getting out of position, gifting a clear path to the net, giving away breakaways that directly led to tying and winning goals. In the last two games. Not early in the game, at late and critical points.
Yes the Caps capitalized, but why is it weird? Letang was playing D like Anders Eriksson
It’s like the expression about a chain being as strong as its weakest link
