Great game. Can't believe they shut out Tampa in game seven. Talk about a team with some offense.

People tease me for how often I stick up for Brooks Orpik being not awful. He's +15 right now. Marchessault and Guentzel are tied for second at +10. http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?reportType=season&seasonFrom=20172018&seasonTo=20172018&gameType=3&filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&sort=plusMinus

He's also fifth in shot blocks (Niskanen is first): http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?report=realtime&reportType=season&seasonFrom=20172018&seasonTo=20172018&gameType=3&filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&sort=blockedShots

And he's fifth in hits, with three Capitals ahead of him: http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?report=realtime&reportType=season&seasonFrom=20172018&seasonTo=20172018&gameType=3&filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&sort=hits

People have spent all year telling me that these intangible stats do not matter. I think by game seven, Tampa was feeling them.

Orpik is doing a really fine job but his contract will most likely force the caps to move him this summer in order to re-sign their guys.
I really hope the Caps crushes the Knights.
