Caps go down, leading 3-1, a number 1 seed versus a number 8. A couple of points:
Regular season hockey and playoff hockey are two different entities. The Capitals have a lot to learn. Ovechkin has taken a distant 2nd place to Crosby. Take away his point totals, (Crosby actually had more goals then him), and what do you have??? At least the comparisons can stop for this season. Montreal looks good, but I don't expect the same outcome with the Pens. The Pens record in playoffs over the last 3 years is 8-1, not to be confused with the Capitals. The are an unselfish team that has plenty of grinders to come through with a goal after the first 2 lines are done. Sooner or later they will score. Bring on the 2nd round!!
