It is the day of game three and the Caps trail Tampa Bay 2-0. As hockey analysts and fair-weather fans doubt the feeling of a comeback, I am positive that the Capitals are ready for the task at hand. If Washington is going to be successful they have to tale it one game at a time. They beat the Lightning four games out of six in the regular season, so why not in the playoffs.
The veterans need to step up tonight because they've been in these situations in the playoffs. Jason Arnott logged three points in the first round (1 goal, 2 assists) but has yet to score vs. Tampa. Him and other veteran Mike Knuble are due for a big impact game tonight. Alex Ovechkin must also have an impact in game three. Ovi is the best player on the planet and his team needs their captain more than ever. He has four goals in the playoffs an I would expect some points tonight.
There's really not much else to say about tonight because we have to win. Playing in Tampa Bay isn't that big of an advantage because it doesn't come close to the Verizon Center. The Capitals must win the PP and PK battle tonight. Keep the faith Caps fans and as always Rock the Red!
In Ovi We Trust
