Joe Beninati On The Capitals And The Beginning Of The Stanley Cup Playoffs

Joe Beninati is the Capitals play by play voice for Comcast Sportsnet.

Joe joined Ed and Steve to talk about the Caps quest for the Cup beginning tonight against the Islanders.

Joe started off by talking about the Caps vs the Islanders and if the Capitals should be worried about the Isles saying "they'll give the Washington Capitals a very good test in the first round...I think the Capitals may have a little too much weight up front for the Islanders and that's where they win this series in 6 or 7." Joe also talked about a possible second round match-up between the Caps and Rangers saying "I think if those two play the winner of that series wins the East, no disrespect to Montreal, Tampa Bay, Detroit or Ottawa but it will be fun to watch." Joe also talked about the Western Conference and the teams to watch for out there focusing on Chicago, St. Louis and Winnipeg all of which play a heavy style of hockey.
