The Capitals get swept by Tampa Bay and are now listed amongst teams like the San Jose Sharks, Atlanta Braves and San Diego Chargers as perennial playoff chokers. This one still shocks me and cost me $75. I just didn't see the Capitals dropping the series to a Tampa Bay team that needed 7 games to beat a mediocre and depleted Pittsburgh team. The Capitals were well rested and seemed like they finally bought into the kind of defensive hockey needed to go deep in the playoffs. In the end this was a complete mirage and the Caps showed as much effort and determination to win as Jay Cutler did in the NFC championship this past winter.
