In this series, there have only been remnants of the "comeback Capitals" that dominated the regular season. Now on the brink of elimination against the Hurricanes, the #ALLCAPS are ready to fight to the bitter end to stay alive. The team's game plan: https://t.co/6IFCu41v1q
And you definitely do! It’s a balance and there are journalists who are great at doing it, and journalists who can’t navigate it that well. But expecting someone to be a robot covering a sport they love, that’s just not the way to go
