With fifteen games left in the season, the Caps’ playoff prospects are dim. Depending on whose model you want to believe, they’ve got a 15.8 or 10.5 or 7.0 or 6.4 or some [insert relatively small number here] percent chance of qualifying for the postseason.
Now, as Caps fans, you’ve got a bit of a masochistic kink morbid curiosity to you that makes you incapable of turning away from the disaster in favor of more productive and enjoyable pursuits before it’s complete. Heck, you may even be one of those sickos who’s actively rooting for them to lose to improve their draft position (and/or further cement the future of certain team employees).
