This series feels like it could go 7. You have to expect the NHL's leading scoring to get hot one of these games.

Except for the third period of Game One, the Flyers have completely dominated the Caps. If the Caps don't make the necessary adjustments, this series will be over in 5.

I told all my buddy's before the series began that the flyers were the better team. All they had to do was shut down Ovie, and except for giving away game 1, they have. Veteran leadership from Kimmo, Jason Smith, and Hatch give the flyers the definite edge. We should have had the brooms out for this one, but il take it in 5.

Post-Game Capital "Where's the …." Questions
Here are some random thoughts I have when watching the last two Philadelphia wins.
