The Washington Capitals have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs in the first round for three consecutive seasons. If you’re a good team that’s frustrating enough. If you are “just” a good team you would like to think in three years you could find yourself winning at least one round.
Why it’s so frustrating for the Capitals and the Capitals fans is this team is not just a good team. I don’t really care who says otherwise, this is a Stanley Cup contending team.
