For the fourth year in a row the Washington Capitals are bounced out of the playoffs. I think of the four this one hurts the most.
The Caps were swept by the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight. The Caps offense never seemed to show up in the series. They would score goals, but immediately the defense would fall apart and give up a cheap or awful goal and Tampa would be right back in the game. Several defensive breakdowns led to numerous Tampa chances and eventually goals.
I've been a Capitals fan for 25 years. Every year it gets more and more painful, especially since the team has shown so much promise and brought in veterans at the trade deadline to fill some holes.
This is going to be a tough offseason. A lot of decisions have to be made. A lot of very tough decisions. There are several pending unrestricted free agents that will need to be signed or will be gone. There are some restricted free agents that will need signing. There's a question whether or not the coaching staff and general manager will return.
It was an interesting season. It had its high points and its low points. It's too bad that yet again the season ends on a low note.
