Flyers and Capitals Battle it Out – The Capitals Need to Win to Stay Alive
April 19th, 2008 | Posted by Wicked in Washington CapitalsThe Flyers have the Capitals backs up against the wall, up 3-1 in the series. Today’s game is a must win for the Capitals, and I believe that they will win today’s game. Not only that, I think they will the next game as well and even the series out at 3-3. I think this series deserves a 7 game series because the teams are so evenly matched.
The teams play different styles, but in the end they are both hard working teams, and either team that moved on would give their 2nd round playoff opponent fits. Ovechkin needs to step up in the potential last game of the season for the Capitals and lead his team to victory. He has been to quiet so far in this 1st round playoff series. The game today is already under way and nearing the end of the 1st period with the Capitals up 1-0 on a Backstrom goal.
