I totally get that, Zee. I'm trying to temper my emotions.  8)

That being said, I can't see the Caps winning the Cup if they get past the Leafs and play like they have.  They certainly don't look like "the best team in hockey" right now.

Man that 5th goal really hurt. Brown was on instead of Nylander and shot it right at the guys feet. Literally anywhere would have been a better choice then the small sliver of ice where the caps player was. Then carrick brings it back into our own zone and bad goal by Andersen.
I wish marchenko would play instead of Carrick.
Leafs didn't skate tonight, the effort wasn't there.

I can only assume you didn't watch any of the games Marchenko played for the Leafs this year.

This has been a hard series to gauge stuff.  I don't know how much of what is happening is "Leafs doing well" versus "Caps not doing well".  How much of what is happening to the Caps due to the Leafs speed versus how much of it may be because the Caps aren't taking the Leafs seriously or being nervous because of the choker narrative?

Maybe, although I'm not sure there's any team out there that looks like a powerhouse right now. Certainly not in the East.
