It’s that time again... playoffs, baby! The Rink crew chats about what we expect to see in this first round series against the Jackets.
What do you think will be the key factor for a Caps win over the Blue Jackets?
Becca: For me, the Caps’ biggest strength - in this series and in the playoffs in general - is their depth up the middle. Tactics and systems change from year to year but seemingly the one constant among Cup contenders is strong center depth - and with Evgeny Kuznetsov, Nicklas Backstrom, and Lars Eller holding down their top three lines, the Caps have that.
