I don't normally like Cheese Boy but this stuff is gold. You could take the names and dates off the quotes and they all sound the same, because the results have all been the same. Every year its the same. Players come and go but nothing changes.

Do you know something weird? Really weird? There have now been 51 NHL playoff games since 2010 in which the losing team had at least 35 shots, and the winning team had fewer than 25 shots. The Caps are responsible for eight of them, more than any other team. Eight out of 51! That’s 16 percent of such losses! In the past two years, there have been just 15 of those dominate-in-shots-but-lose-in-goals playoff games; the Caps account for 5 of them. Five of 15! Either they are uniquely unlucky, or there is some reason that they are regularly outshooting their playoff opponents by such wide margins and still not winning. Or maybe it’s both!

Either way, the window for this group might not be closed after this season, but that day is coming. They can’t keep everyone together. The stars are getting older. They won’t always be this good. And when they’re gone, you don’t want to be left with a banner reading The Underlying Process Was Solid, or We Sure Had a Lot of Chances, or We Liked Everything But the Result.
