Capitals vs Blackhawks Debate

The Washington Capitals and Chicago are the top two teams in the league with Washington being the best has caused debate to decide who is better. I'm going to help you decide that right now. The basics are that the Blackhawks have won six Stanley Cups and the Capitals have not won any, the Capitals have a super star Alex Ovechkin and the Blackhawks have Patrick Kane, but which team is really better? The Blackhawks have a longer history than the Capitals so I'm not going to talk about the past too much. The Capitals lately when they have played the Blackhawks have beat them like in the winter classic and in the regular season game this year, but the Blackhawks didn't have Duncan Keith and he's one of the best in the league. The Blackhawks have had the most games in the NHL so that's a factor for them and how they can keep up with the Caps. The Capitals have Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alex Ovechkin who are both having amazing years and the Hawks have Patrick Kane and the amazing second line doing amazing. Goal tending wise I'd say the Hawks have the edge since Crawford comes up big when needed and has won two Stanley Cups, but Brandon Holtby has no Cups and isn't as clutch in the playoffs like Crawford. The teams both have talent and skill, but the huge thing is that the Blackhawks find ways to win in the playoffs no matter what and the Capitals just don't put in the final effort in the playoffs like they did last year when the gave up a two game lead to the Rangers and ended up losing. The Capitals have a bright future as they get more experience, but the Blackhawks can win Stanley Cups and that's all that matters. Do you agree with me? Who do you think is better? Will the Capitals win the Cup this year? stay tuned.....
