Not trying to troll you but the Pens did that already in 1991 and beat the Caps along the way.

I'm sure there were many different teams. We can say may be they beat Holtby and Kuzya 2 times and Ovie/Backstrom 3 times. Their organization is better staring with owner who understands hockey, etc. Sill Caps have chances. This will be third year when I'm rooting for ousting Trotz. Nash did right a thing to rid of him, they are doing much better now. Anyway, this the first game, with a home disadvantage.

Easy to build a team when you're taking everyone else's talent.

Actually, not really.
There where plenty of names and starts that we’re unprotected, and/or opportunities to get 3 or-so mega-stars to sell the team and hope for the best.
But GMGM went through & found high value players with good contracts that were under appreciated by thier teams. Hell, there are GMs that would have chosen Orpik over Schmidt on a brand new team.
If the Caps had added TUCH, R. Smith, or Karrlson, most Caps fans wouldn’t of heard of them, or wondered why when we have Connolly and Bura, because “skill” or whatever.
Bottom line is GMGM went through and built a combination of contracts and castoffs that have become one of the best teams in league in one year.
Besides, just go to a game there, its the abut the craziest time you'll have at a hockey game!

Holtby made a bad play on the 3rd goal, too. He dumped it around the boards right to Crosby. If you're going to shoot it up the boards, you have to have some idea as to who is there. He was barely back in position and the puck was off Crosby's stick headed to the net.

The dmen didn't give him any support. Maybe miscommunication.
