Capitals win, send series back to Philly

The Capitals played their most complete game at just the right time, staving off elimination by beating the Flyers 3-2 in Game Five. The win pushes the series to a Game Six that will be played back in Philadelphia on Monday.

The Flyers need to finish this series off at home on Monday. This Capitals team has proven that if you give them a small opening, they will storm right through it. Allowing the Caps to win Game Six and then letting them go home to Washington again would be killer for the Flyers. Expect the Flyers to come out with a ton of energy on Monday, and it will be the Capitals turn to weather the storm.

I still stand by my prediction before the series of the Flyers in six.

One other thing to worry about: Game Four hero Mike Knuble was injured in the second period of the game and failed to return to the ice. The early indication is that he has a hamstring injury, and I would bet he is day-to-day.

The report is now that he is out for the series.

Ugh..... Knuble out for at least the rest of the first round:
