It's more Caps than Halak. Halak was pretty amazing, but a lot of their shots were when he had a clear line of sight to the puck. Most seem to be predictable, low percentage forcing of bang-bang plays. In the games they scored 3+ goals, there was a lot more throwing of the puck at the net and getting someone in front of the net to either screen or clean up the rebound.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
