Monday Caps Clips: Suddenly, Summer

Your end-of-season links:

• Recaps and other assorted musings on last night’s season-ending loss. [Caps video (Laviolette, Backstrom/Ovechkin), NHL, AP, WaPo, WashTimes, PHT, NBCS Boston, NoVa Caps (and again), SCoC]
• The season is over. But questions remain, and changes may need to be made. [WaPo, RMNB, Caps Outsider]
• And while the series as a whole was more downs than ups, that Game 4 loss where the team barely showed up is one that will haunt them this summer. [NBCSW]
• One of the most frequently discussed of those questions is what is Alex Ovechkin’s future with the Caps. [S&S]
• That’s not a question Ovechkin is ready to answer just yet (...shocking that he wouldn’t want to talk contracts on a night his team was bounced from the postseason) [NBCSW]
• While the Caps’ 2020-21 season may have ended with a whimper, not a bang last night, that doesn’t mean it was a season devoid of good moments. [NBCSW]
