The 2016-17 season is mercifully almost over and will finish with either the Nashville Predators or the Pittsburgh Penguins as champions.
For Caps fans, that means that either former DC draft pick Filip Forsberg will raise the cup or the team’s biggest rival will win their third Stanley Cup of the Crosby and Malkin era.
If you’re masochist and want to watch this, the schedule is below.
