Readers of the Washington Post’s website were issued the following instructions: “Evgeny Kuznetsov’s overtime goal: Watch it, listen to it, never forget it.” You’ll have to excuse this version of the Capitals for acting like it has never been here before. That’s because it has never been here before.

So go ahead Capitals and their fans, celebrate by singing Ding Dong the Witch is Dead for the next day or two. But the Capitals are going to have to park that euphoria in a hurry if they have any designs on moving past the Eastern Conference final and fulfilling their destiny as a Stanley Cup champion. This team that has finally accomplished so much has, in the grand scheme of things, accomplished nothing.
