Yeah, I can’t believe that headline either.

Well, believe it. The Capitals are going to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since the 1997-1998 season. They have eliminated the Tampa Bay Lightning after a seven game series.
As a lifelong Caps fan, this is such a surreal feeling. I was only one year old when the Caps went to the Finals for the first time in franchise history so, obviously, I was not cognizant of what was going on.
