What The Puck Episode 199 and a Half – Can Caps Clinch

THIS IS NOT EPISODE 200!!  Lets just get that straight off the top.  With Coach Dan unavailable this week, Brandon goes Han Solo on this episode.  I’ve got a bad feeling about this.  The Caps have just 5 games left and have yet to clinch a spot in the playoffs.  Will they make the playoffs?? Yeah more than likely.  However with the struggles they’ve had with Philly this year, are the Flyers the best option in the opening round?
