This is a 6* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Washington Capitals.

This was supposed to be a "cake-walk" for the Capitals, but the Leafs have given the President's Cup Trophy winners everything they can handle. For the most part, these teams are complete equals. Braden Holtby and Frederik Andersen are a wash. The offenses and defenses are a wash. It's been extremely competitive. The Leafs were a respectable 20-14-5 on the road (for Toronto, that's huge when looking back over the last decade). Washington though was downright dominant at home this year, going 33-7-2. Also note that the Leafs are just 9-10 (-1.5 units) this season in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent, while the Capitals are 27-10 (+10.8 units) this season after scoring four goals or more in their previous outing. We look for the deeper and more talented home side to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night, play on WASHINGTON.
