At the end of the day, this core group has won a Stanley Cup. That's hard to do. Most core groups don't do it. Ultimately, those guys get old & decline. The Caps will still be postseason contenders, but hard to count on much more. And that's okay.

Nicklas Backstrom: "The hip's not going to be 100%. That's something we all know. Some days are good. Some days are less good. That's just life."

Nicklas Backstrom is not sure what the next course of action will be for his hip. Rehab? Surgery? Sounds like it’s all on the table but he’s still hopeful of getting closer to where he needs to be. That said, “the hip is not going to be 100-percent.” #Caps
The comparison is against Chicago and Pittsburgh, which is fair to an extent. They haven't achieved to that level, obviously. But the bar for success can't be "two of the great dynastic runs the sport has ever seen"

16 seasons since the 2004-2005 lockout, ten different winners. The days of dominance of the sort Montreal, Boston, Edmonton, and the Islanders had a generation or two ago are long over.
