It’s been a few years since the Caps had any sort of question as to who their starting goalie would be come playoff time. The last time it came up, as you may recall, the Caps gave the Game 1 (and Game 2) nod to young Philipp Grubauer, who didn’t perform particularly well and was replaced to start Game 3 by Braden Holtby, who… well, you know what happened next.
This year, crazy as it may sound, the Caps might have a better team than they had heading into the 2018 playoffs. Might even have a better coach.
