Well, I was hoping not to have to write this entry. And until late in the 3rd, it looked like I could have written a happier message.
The Capitals lost to the Flyers 4-3 in 2 overtimes. The intensity that seemed to be lacking in Game 3 was here. However, I think playing 80+ minutes drained them. The 2 OT's seemed like non-stop power plays, with both teams trading possession of the puck in 4 minutes intervals. Both Cristobal Huet and Martin Biron held their own in the overtimes, blocking shot after shot.
Unfortunately, Huet couldn't stop that last one. This does not bold well for the Caps as Game 1 was a shootout that they won on a spectacular 3rd period. With that and 3 straight losses, the next playoff series is getting out of reach. Somehow they have to score early and score often starting Saturday until the end the series, which hopefully will go to 7 games and 3 straight Caps wins.
