After dropping Game 2 at home, Game 3 in Philadelphia and a heartbreaking but encouraging defeat in Philadelphia on Thursday in Game 4, the Capitals are making a series of it.
The Caps played a dominating game on Saturday and pushed the series out to Game 6. They play tonight at Wachovia Center in front of an orange-clad crowd that would like nothing better than for their team to win this thing at home.
The Flyers have got to be hearing the footsteps after completely physically dominating the Caps through two games only to awaken the beast and be matched in that area in game four, which can fairly be said to have swung on a bad bench minor putting the Caps in the box for two not once, but twice.
They don’t want Game 7 in front of the roaring sea of red at Verizon Center and will come out raging in the first. The Caps will surely match that effort. I’m predicting a hard fight tonight but beyond that I’m not predicitng the outcome. Suffice it to say that the Caps have been playing must-win games for two months. They won seven in a row to make the playoffs and there isn’t a team in the league more capable of pulling off three in a row to advance.
Puck drops at 7. Go Caps!
