I mentioned earlier that I felt the Caps are much deeper this year than last. With the news that Letang is out for the playoffs for Pittsburgh, that is huge and excellent news (not that he is injured, just that the Pengies won't have him). This is like the Blackhawks losing Duncan Keith. Last year in the Pens/Caps series Letang played almost 30 minutes a game and was a major reason for the Pens Cup win last year. He is very undervalued on that team.

So now, Pitt/Columbus series just got way more interesting. With many other eastern teams slumping right now, this may be the best chance the Caps have ever had to win, outside of 1998, that is.
