The reason this Caps team is winning is not luck, lightning in a bottle, or catching the other teams off guard. We are winning because each and every player is 100% all in and committed to never letting up. They are also well coached. Based on what I saw in the first three series I had faith that coaching would correct any issues in the first game, which I correctly predicted we might lose. I had no doubt in this series that our guys were going to dominate. In fact, I have been strangely peaceful and confident this entire post season for some reason I can't explain. I watched Vegas play earlier in the playoffs and I was sure we could shut them down the same way we did two other very fast teams. This Capitals team is winning because they all found their heart and realized the level of grit it takes to win in the playoffs. Besides having skilled players you have to be hungrier than the other team. Skill we always knew we had, We just never saw it materialize consistently and across the board, especially in the post season. I'm still having trouble digesting the fact that the Caps have so dramatically found THE SWITCH this post season.
One more game boys!
This is going to be very emotional for me as I know it will be for all of you.

Yep and yep. It's a beautiful thing. I've already said it too. Refreshing to see, playing with tenacity, balls, and as a TEAM. Taking care of the crease and each other. Team defense is a thing of beauty - pack mentality - nastiness.
It is pretty amazing how this seemed to materialize from practically out of nowhere. I just hope they stick to it and keep upping it.

Yep, ergo “lighting in a bottle” . . . There has been 10 attempts at this, and as you said, ‘out of nowhere’ here is the joint attitude and effort from about the most unlikely group in that time. . .
