Kudos to the Caps!

The Capitals have just clinched the Southeast Division, which is almost hard to believe if you remember that the team was sitting near the bottom of the conference standings towards the middle of November. After hiring Bruce Boudreau, this team has made a complete 180.

They only won 6 games in the month of February and hope was lost that this team could make the playoffs, let alone take the division crown. But after only losing 4 times in the month of March and recently winning 7 straight plus going 11-1 down the stretch, this team worked their butts off to make the postseason.

It looks like the team will face the Senators in the first round. Keep in mind, the Caps sweeped the season series and the way the Sens look right now, they could do the very same thing in the postseason. Regardless of what the Caps do, they will be an exciting team to watch. How can they not be when you have the best player in the league, Alexander "Ovie" Ovechkin. His exuberance and love for hockey will make watching this team in the playoffs simply irresistible. I now hope they do face the Sens, because then the games will be broadcasted throughout Canada. And imagine how exciting it will be if the Caps face the Pens in the next round? I've started the praying...
