The Washington Capitals came back from 2-0 down in the 1st period to beat the Maple Leafs 3-2 in overtime Thursday night in Game 1 of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. 10 minutes into the game, when Washington was down 2-0, of course everyone on twitter was pushing the Caps playoff choke narrative. Here are some tweets…

Mike Babcock wasn't kidding when he said: "We’re going to Washington & we plan on winning". Leafs up 2-0 in the 1st period.

Crazy. This why you love hockey, unless, you know, you root for the Capitals.

I think it's hilarious that the @Capitals are losing 2-0 to an 8 seed ? Maybe they forgot the playoffs started? #WSHvsTOR

10 min ago, @Capitals were Presidents' Trophy winners. Now it's 2-0 @MapleLeafs, and they're the same old playoff chokers again. #TMLtalk
