Caps Can't Capture 1st

With the regualr season coming to an end teams are battling for playoff positioning and the Caps are right in the thick of things. If the season ended today the Caps would play the Penguins, which would have Bettman counting his lucky stars, but the Caps could realistically be in first place in the Eastern Conference, but their subpar play of late has kept them fighting for second with the Devils. A dance with Sid the Kid could be dangerous, especially given the fact that the Penguins have always given the Caps problems in the playoffs. The Caps seem to be coasting into the playoffs, but a little more effort and energy could make the road to the cup much easier.
