Your best player needs to be your best player ... Ovi was a -2 last night and the how was telling ...
The first goal if you watch Ovi he coasted back defensively after the turnover and was very late recognizing the threat ...
Second goal he was Charmin soft on the boards leading to the turnover and eventual goal ...
Sure, MAF outplayed Holtby for the series and I'd say roster to roster the Caps have far more talent ... but the Pens best players consistently show up while the Caps best tend to not match that level

I'm not going to pull up the entire Caps history but losing to the Pens in 7 puts them in the category of being at least a half step behind the Pens when it matters ...
Hypothetically the Pens may win the Cup rather easily and we may look back at this being the de facto Cup Finals ...
But regardless, something needs to change with them

The Craps are at least a half step behind EVERYONE THEY PLAY when it matters
