Caps Clinch President's Trophy

There is one week left in the 2009-2010 NHL regular season. There is also truth in the whole "we'll see how good we are once the playoffs start" that players, fans, and hockey writers all tend to focus on. Especially towards the end of the season. However, this moment for the 2009-2010 Washington Capitals is too important to pass up. With four games left in their schedule, the Capitals have clinched the NHL President's Trophy, awarded to the team that compiles the best record during the regular season. This trophy is coming to Washington:

So it's not the historic and shiny one that NHL teams and fans really want. That comes later. And yes, I know that NHL seasons are ultimately judged on how the next few weeks play out. However, we should pause for a moment and acknowledge that teams are as good as their record says they are. Since that's the case, nobody has been better than the Washington Capitals this regular season.
