We have taken for granted how good this Caps team has been in the regular season as for whatever reason they always seemed to play tight in the playoffs. Like a team that was expecting something to go wrong and was playing not to lose. This season they look like they are just going out there having fun and executing. It's also kind of an underrated roster as the more you watch them the more you realize they have impressive depth. I remember many of us not being a fan of that Kuznetsov contract but he looks like he's worth that money. Really good player.

Trotz is likely done with the caps when they win the cup or lose out. Word is he wants to retire. He doesn't have a contract after this season.
