The Washington Capitals haven’t reached a conference final since way back in 1997-98 despite making the playoffs in nine of the last 10 seasons.
On Wednesday night, the Capitals were eliminated in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semis by the Pittsburgh Penguins and Alexander Ovechkin took a lot of heat for not having a great series.
Come to find out, Ovechkin has been battling multiple injuries since the first round against the Toronto Maple Leafs and was forced to take pain-numbing injections just to suit up every night.
