Caps finally exorcized some demons and eliminate the Pens for only the second time ever. Kuznetzov with the OT series-winner. Hotlby has a 2.04 GAA since his benching.
Caps advance to the ECF's for the first time in 20 years and for the first time in Ovi's career.

I also say no. Not because they'll choke, but because they don't have enough depth. TB was actually my EC pick originally.

TB is well rested and has a better defense. The trade deadline pickups of McDonagh and Miller were huge.

Well, this is a surprise. Caps take a 2-0 lead on the road and have been the aggressors in the series so far. Now it will be a choke if they lose this series.

They are taking it to the Bolts, that's for sure. Maybe it is their year. Trotz is saving his job with every win.

Does not look too promising for the Capitals after game 4 since they lost both home games and the series is now even.
I guess at this point they need to keep hoping that the visiting team wins every game in the series!

They finally did it! Caps are the EC champs for only the second time ever, the first time in 20 years, and the first time in the Great 8's career! He got it started right away, followed by 2 from unlikely hero Burakovsky, who had been a healthy scratch in Game 5! Holtby was a solid brick wall!
Viva Las Vegas! Who would've thunk it back in October? Hoping for at least a better series than that Red Wings sweep in 1998!
