Strome remained upbeat despite the fact that the team's regular season ended on a rather low note—having lost 7 of its last 12 games. He counseled the need for the team to put the past behind them and come back as good as they can. Having already secured their playoff ticket, the Capitals had the luxury to shuffle their veterans about, looking for just the right balance of rest and readiness.
