As Capitals fans, we want to stop watching hockey. Without the Capitals, it’s no longer relevant. Okay, we could just watch the Hershey Bears, but we’re talking NHL here. As hockey fans, we’re still supposed to be interested in what unfolds. Let’s take a look:
Canadiens vs. Penguins
Easy – the Canadiens. Halak all the way. It’ll make the loss that less painful to know the Caps lost to the eventual champion. Habs in 7.
Flyers vs. Bruins
Bruins in 6.
Canucks vs. Blackhawks
Hmmm… does it really matter? Let’s go with the Canucks in 7.
Red Wings vs. Sharks
We’re sick of the Wings, and after what happened last season we know how the Sharks felt, so let’s go with the Sharks in 7.
Semi-Finals
Canadiens vs. Bruins
Canadiens in 6.
Canucks vs. Sharks
Sharks in 7.
Stanley Cup
Sharks vs. Canadiens
Habs in 7.
This is the best possible outcome for the Caps. Thoughts?
