“The most important [analogy], and the most distressing one, and the most depressing one is that the Nats are the Caps. That’s who they are. The Washington Nationals are the Washington Capitals. That’s who they are. It doesn’t matter who the manager is. Dusty Baker now 0-9 in his last nine elimination games — 0 and 9! The Nationals are now 0-for-3 in postseason series in this city.

“They win 95 games. They’re really good. They’re great. And then they can’t win. They can’t win. They don’t win. Whatever happens to the Capitals — who are the worst choking dogs of any sport, ever, they’re the worst — this is being passed along like the Zika virus, and the Nats have it now. The Nats have it.”

“Look, they’re the Caps now okay, the Washington Nationals are the Washington Capitals. They choke. They just cannot win any of these series.”
