An early deficit, sent spiraling by a terrible penalty, then a stirring, unlikely comeback, sudden defeat. Game Six was the height of Caps playoff chaos. If you emotionally checked out early, I can’t blame you. If, late in the game, you didn’t high-five until your hands got all red and stingy, I can’t understand you. If you’re reeling right now, you are my people.
Penguins beat Capitals 4-3 in overtime. Penguins win the series 4-2.
I’ll need more time to collect my thoughts, but some players are in my head right now.
So ends 2015-16 for the Caps. It was their best season yet. They’re gonna reload and come back even harder next season. But for now:
