Devante Smith-Pelly

Should the Caps win, Devante Smith-Pelly already has his mind made up about a trip to the White House

As we discussed on the podcast, we are not discussing off-season things until the off-season happens. Caps forward Devante Smith-Pelly – who has scored six goals this postseason – has no such policy. During Wednesday’s media time, Smith-Pelly – who has scored two game-winning goals, the same number as Alex Ovechkin – was asked what he thought of a possible Caps visit to President Donald Trump’s White House, should the Caps win the Stanley Cup.

Smith-Pelly – who has outscored Backstrom, Laine, Malkin, Marchand, Subban, Burns, Couturier, Couture, and Killorn – did not mince words.

Photos from Saturday’s Stanley Cup Final Capitals practice

Before the Capitals won their first ever Stanley Cup Final game on home ice, the team took a skate at Kettler Capitals Iceplex.

With a full house packed with fans, the Capitals looked loose and were having maybe the most fun they have had all season. The looseness might have gone the wrong way, when a Dmitry Orlov snapshot deflected up into the Capitals office windows. No one was hurt by the falling glass, but I am sure the window has been better days.

After falling behind 2-1, the Capitals scored five unanswered goals to blow out the Lightning 6-2 in Game Two

The Tampa Bay Lightning scored two power-play goals in the first period after officials whistled the Capitals for two questionable calls, giving the Bolts a 2-1 lead going into intermission. The Caps did not wilt or feel sorry for themselves. Instead, they came back with a vengeance.

Two minutes and fifty seconds into the second period, Alex Chiasson hit Devante Smith-Pelly to tie the game 2-2. The Capitals would later strike twice in the second period’s final minute-and-two-seconds to take a 4-2 lead into the break. The Lightning came out sluggish and defeated in the third period. The Capitals poured it on.

In total, the Capitals scored five unanswered goals after falling behind in the first period. This team is playing with confidence. It has a killer instinct and going for the jugular. This is beautiful hockey.

Breaking down the Capitals wild celebration at the bench after beating the Penguins

Coming into Monday night’s game, the Washington Capitals had lost nine out of 10 series against the Pittsburgh Penguins and had never gotten past the second round of the playoffs during the Alex Ovechkin Era. Despite winning the Presidents’ Trophy in three of the last nine seasons and division titles in eight of the last 11, Capitals fans would label the year a failure when the team choked in the playoffs.

Evgeny Kuznetsov’s beautiful, clutch, exhilarating, perfect, overtime game-winning goal changed all of that. And the Caps bench erupted in one of the most raucous team celebrations you’ll ever see.

All eyes are on the Capitals’ struggling first line

“They’ve just got to be better.”

Those were the first words out of the mouth of Washington Capitals head coach Barry Trotz during his pregame gaggle with reporters on Saturday morning. Trotz was speaking about the Washington Capitals’ current first-line of Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, and Devante Smith-Pelly.

Tonight, the Capitals play the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game Five of their second-round playoff battle. The series is locked at two games apiece. The Caps cannot afford the performance the top trio turned in on Thursday in Pittsburgh, a 3-1 loss for Washington that evened the series. But those three skaters will remain lined up together to start Saturday’s critical game.

“We have to be better everywhere,” Kuznetsov said after the morning skate.
