"The Washington Capitals are the worst playoff team in the history of the world." -- Tony Kornheiser, on his local radio show in Washington DC after the Caps blew a 3-1 series lead and lost in the first round of the NHL playoffsDaily Blurb
Déjà vu all over again!
In the team’s playoff history (which dates back only to 1983), the Washington Capitals have now lost seven playoff series in which they held either a 3-1 lead, or a 2-0 lead. It’s been written that D.C. stands for “Dogs Choking”. Last night’s latest collapse was particularly painful, as the Caps entered the playoffs with the best regular season record in the NHL, while their opponent, Montreal, had the worst regular season record of the 16 playoff teams. Imagine if the Red Sox or Cubs had that type of playoff history!
