Capitals in 98. How many times I think back to the 90's finals and forget that they made it that far.
I wasn't as surprised by that run. We had a lot of veteran leadership and not the injury bug like the year before and not making the playoffs. If I recall we didn't have Kono and Simon for those playoffs. We didn't face any of our nemesis teams in Philly, Pittsburgh, or NYR either. The game one momentum in the finals did give me hope, but Detroit really put it to us. I'll always remember Tikkanen's missed goal and Bondra's fluke goal from that series. The ECF was a helluva series too.
