Caps got a ton of confidence beating the Penguins. I always thought if they were to go far in the Cup it had to be through, not around, Pittsburgh. Depending on what happens, they should send Crosby and crew a "thank you" note.

Confidence is a funny thing, though. It can dissipate quickly. Last night the Bolts lost all confidence in about a 1 minute span at the end of the 2nd. Giving up a goal with 2 second left in the period - dagger.
