Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all have healed from the disappointment of Saturday because, well, all good things must end eventually.
Let’s get the obvious out of the way: The Caps closed the season with one of their least effective performances in recent memory, hindered by some fitness concerns that were not entirely obvious to the rest of us. Vanni Sartini perhaps didn’t manage the match as he could have, one of the few times since he took over where that could be said.
But anyone who allows a disappointing playoff performance to override a memorable season, one where the ride to the playoffs was as memorable as anything that happened there, is being silly.
