2015-2016 Washington Capitals...

the Washington Capitals are trying to find a balance between team offense,and team defense... they have one of the best goal scorers,in NHL history in Alex Ovechkin,and a young,but great goaltender in Braden Holtby... the team has been in the Stanley Cup playoffs for years,but has not been,in the Stanley Cup Finals,since 1998,when they were swept,by the Red Wings,in four games... note:that 1998 sweep was the last sweep of a Stanley Cup finalist,to this day,and the last sweep of four in a row,and the second in a row,by the Red Wings(they also swept the Philadelphia Flyers,in 1997)... only history is told here,because i thought it was a interesting tidbit... back to the Capitals:this year's team is going to be good,because Barry Trotz is probably the best overall head coach,but his teams have been defense first teams,and he hopes to find the offensive,and defensive balance,that the Capitals have lacked,in team history... if that can be solved,the Capitals will be dangerous,in the Eastern Conference...
