After an amazing win versus Boston on Saturday night, can the Canucks take down the defending champs?
The Washington Capitals were 4-4-1 at this time last year. 8 months later and they are Stanley Cup champions(must be nice). Keeping almost all players from the roster last season, the Caps remain a dangerous team that we should not take lightly. Brian MacLellan, their General Manager, has built a team with a good mix of size and speed.
In the past 40 years, Barry Trotz is just the fifth coach to not return to a Stanley Cup-winner and the first since Scotty Bowman, who retired after winning with Detroit in 2002.
