One thing seems likely: if we make the playoffs, we won't be the only team from the division to do it. The optimist's view is that the bar for "good enough" is about to get a lot higher, so the Caps might be more playoff ready (assuming they still qualify). The more pessimistic (realistic?) view is that playoff hockey is a different beast, and regular season competition has about as much bearing in post-season success as pre-season competition has on regular season success. The Caps need to learn that other teams aren't playing the same game in May that they were in February. Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631264805716761641noreply@blogger.com
