As noted, there is a difference between "choking" and running into the wrong team at the wrong time. The Caps have undoubtedly choked in the past. Epically at times. The Pens are tough and taking them to six would not be a choke.

WITH THAT SAID: To shake the monkey off their back and get rid of the label, they need to be the team that other teams "run in to" or find a way to beat those teams.

The Pens are tough and playing well. You want to be champs at the end of it all? Then you gotta beat the tough teams that are playing well and do it consistently after the season ends. I really want the Caps to pull this out. I know they can, just don't know if they will.
