The Washington Capitals had the best record in the regular season this past year. Yet they succumbed to the Pittsburgh Penguins (aka NBC Sports favorite team) in the second round.
Why is it that all of the Washington, DC teams never get to the Final round of one of the four major sports? Is it the "gridlock" in Washington? Are the coaches to blame? What about the stars (RG3, Ovechkin, Wall and Harper)?
Maybe it is the nature of Washington, DC which has a lot of people from elsewhere since it's the capital. Most Pittsburgh people are natives of Pittsburgh or Western Pennsylvania. They're invested in the team more than DC or Floridians are.
Good luck to the Sharks and Penguins in the Stanley Cup Finals on Monday.
