Today let’s talk about the most surprising team from last season in the NHL, The Washington Capitals. The caps had one of the franchises most memorable years nearly winning the presidents trophy while also seeing the greatest franchise player snap Wayne Gretzky’s all time goal record. But despite the individual success of Alex Ovechkin and his teammates, Washington is being counted out as a serious contender this year. So let’s break down everything you need to know about the Washington Capitals to explain why they are way better than you think. Subscribe to Jimmy Hockey for more NHL News and Breakdowns.

HONESTLY THOUGH….. The metro is the easiest division without a doubt. The Canes are the only team at the moment that is mid at best and when they go against a real challenging team they get absolutely clobbered. Metro is the easiest division no questions about it.
Cheers fella!!
I have a theory…
Sure. There was the Cinderella story with Ovi's record chasing that galvanised them. Lots of guys like Strome, Chychrun, Wilson and Dubois all had career years. They benefited from playing in arguably the worst division in the league.
But to me, the real reason is that: so many fans are frustrated supporting teams in the midst of long and painful rebuilds without any guarantee of results at the end. And they HATE the fact that a team that was clearly over the hill managed to get back to contendership with a very quick and doubtful "retool" that ended up working. Therefore, they secretly wish for the Caps to get back to being mid so that it sort of validates the complete rebuild route their own team has been taking.
That is mostly it.
