Stanley Cup Conference – Eastern Conference

Since the Washington Capitals have choked in the playoffs in the past; that isn’t the case thus far this year. In fact, the Washington Capitals have a two game lead against the Tampa Bay Lightening. Although the Tampa Bay Lightening beat the New Jersey Devils and the Boston Bruins in five games; this team seems different against the Capitals.
