ARLINGTON, Va. -- This is the very moment for which the Washington Capitals pursued and signed Justin Williams last July 1.
For that moment in the playoffs when adversity once again stared the Capitals in the face, clouding their playoff path.
There he was Friday, oozing a calm confidence that a man with three Stanley Cup rings and a Conn Smythe Trophy on his resume could possess even with his team down 3-1 in their second-round series to the impressive Pittsburgh Penguins.
"Listen, it's a seven-game series for a reason," Williams told the assembled media after practice.
