Ranking Every Playoff Series of the Alex Ovechkin Era | Part 1

Watching the Alex Ovechkin Era unfold in the playoffs has taken years off of the lives of Capitals fans. Even more than your "average" playoff sample size. The Washington Capitals since 2008 seem to have been blessed-slash-cursed with very close, tense series at a rate higher than what the human heart can take. With Ovechkin's era nearly over, step into my office so we can talk through the traumatic memories of these series together, and find peace in the greatest spectacle of sport in the world.
