WHOOOO!!!
I have very little doubt they are not making it out of LA -- even if they play amazingly this is a league that regularly rewrites rules on the fly to publicize big markets, and just dropped everything when the Messi thing began to happen to recenter the whole league around him, so they aren't going to want to see anything else -- but it's pretty awesome the Caps clutched up here and made the season one game longer, at least.
When everyone is healthy, the team can actually look good (although still not as good as mid-last season)... and they have played sparingly little with both Gauld and Armstrong together.
