  1. Hey Rick
    We have our dance partner now.
    Toronto has nothing to be ashamed of.
    They took our arch rivals to 6 games with 5 of them being in overtime. So they did their job for us.
    Softened them up.
    To be fair this was the best game of the series for the Caps. They played well.Especially on team defense.

    But we will beat them… As good as the young Leafs were they are NO Pittsburgh Penguins.
    Bring it on…☺😅

    PS. This series exposed the Caps weaknesses. They need Holtby to steal the series and Toronto did not have a Patrik Hornqvist standing in front of him.

    1. Hey Rick,

      I always appreciate these up dates. Lots of stuff I’d like to say about these kids but I will hold off a bit if you don’t mind, the superstitiousness in me. All I will say is good like WBS
