I am surprised with the Caps getting the respect that they failed to earn last year.
Winning in the worst div in hockey by taking half a season off and just beating Winnipeg in the last week is not a team that should be getting an automatic pass to the playoffs. If they played like that in any other div they would never have been able to catch up.
Hopefully a harder div now will correct all of the inflated numbers that came out of the SE
