The Other Side:

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Playoffs clinched, Penguin Scum notebook. Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Playoffs clinched, coach of the year, improvement. Penguin Scum.com.

Final Thoughts:

The interesting thing about all of that 40+ point improvement on the part of the Penguin Scum is that only the 1992-1993 San Jose Sharks won a playoff series, the rest were one and done. Of course should the Caps mimic that next year (don't bet on it), the same nattering naboobs of negativism will be complaining about how we haven't won a playoff series since 1998 as the reason to get rid of George McPhee. 77 down, 5 to go.
