if you’re gmbm and/or ted leonsis and the capitals either miss the playoffs or are a first round exit agin, what do you do during the off season?
— xavier (@dicnowder) February 18, 2022Okay, first things first: the Caps aren’t missing the playoffs. MoneyPuck has them at 92.8% likely to get in, HockeyViz has them above 90%, Bulsink has them at 97.5%, Hockey-Reference has them at 97.8%... you get the point: this team is going to the postseason for the eighth-consecutive year and 14th time in the last 15 seasons.
