ARLINGTON, Va. -- Washington Capitals general manager George McPhee arrived at the team's practice facility Wednesday morning, rode the elevator with defenseman Mike Green and prepared to address his players one final time this season.
The Capitals met for exit interviews Wednesday less than 48 hours after a 5-0 loss in Game 7 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series against the New York Rangers at Verizon Center.
