There are many hockey fans who believe that winning the President’s Trophy for having the best regular season record is the kiss of death. The stats would almost certainly bear that out, as only 8 teams since the 1986-87 season have won the trophy and gone on to win the Stanley Cup in the same season. Regardless of those numbers, the team that was the best in the regular season generally goes into the playoffs as the favorite to win it all. The Washington Capitals are the most recent recipients of the President’s Trophy, and they are the choice of many people as the team to beat in the postseason. They have developed a stunning level of balance under head coach Barry Trotz. This is a team that can beat you in a number of different ways, and they will be trying to win another one on Saturday when they head into Arizona to face the Coyotes.
