To make it even sweeter, the Caps eliminated the Pittsburgh Penguins on the way to their title. Although many of the same players are returning for the 2018-19 season, will Washington face adversity…
Yesterday we focused on the Flyers’ forwards and took a look at the predictability and repeatability of a few different statistics.
