Capitals choke and miss an opportunity
Elite teams play as hard against teams that are behind them in the standings as they do against teams they are trying to catch in the standings. The Caps, on the other hand, seem to consistently follow up a strong game against a top opponent, see Boston yesterday, to take a team that is trying to catch them in the standings, the Florida Panthers, way too lightly.

but Witt seems to go out of his way to pop Hagman's jaw with an elbow.
And why? Because he was racing (relatively) to the puck, out of
