The fact is that almost all of the media that covers and comments on the Caps has never played the game of ice hockey. I have. Here is the deal. It’s not coaching. Tampa is a better passing team, and they are one of the fastest teams in the league. If you watched the games, it’s not about having the most talent, it’s about a team like Tampa that beats you to every loose puck, dominates the neutral zone in terms of possession, and is relentless at controlling the possession of the puck in the offensive zone. The fact is Tampa plays a smarter game than most, but also has the offensive skill players that are determined to win every battle on the ice. Oh, and having a solid veteran goalie didn’t hurt either. Get over yourselves.
