What ... just ... happened?
Did the Caps actually just win the cup? I guess they did.
And i had it right from the start of the season.
Vegas lose the series and the cup in game 4. They were mentally devastated after losing a game like that. They had clear scoring chances to make 2 goals early in the game and change not just the game scenario, but maybe the entire series. The team played a terrible defensive game the entire series giving thousands of odd man rushes and breakaways. No team can win in playoffs, specially in Finals, making such mistakes all the time. Washington have an agressive forecheck and made Vegas turnover the puck so many times.
PS.: Washington really deserves to win the Cup. They were a intense team, agressive, dominant and not just their top players played so well, but depth players either. Specially DSP. So, congrats to all Caps fans for finally win their first cup.
PS.2.: Vegas deserves to be congratulated either, cause they made the best expansion team performance of all time and they had the best show times before the Finals that I've ever seen. Gallant and McPhee both deserves to win as the best HC and GM respectively unanimously.
PS.3.: I'm excited to see next FA and pretty curious to see which team Tavares and Carlson will sign (I think both will stay with their teams, specially if Capitals buyout Orpik's contract. What they should do.)
PS.4.: I'm even more excited to next season. Is it already October!?
PS.5.: GO PENS!!!
