Washington Capitals: Hope and History on the Road in Game 7

Well, here we are. Another “Game 7” for the Washington Capitals. There have been 55 Games 7 played in the Stanley Cup playoffs since 2005-2006, and of that number, the Caps have been a participant in ten of them, tied with the Boston Bruins for most in that span. There is an odd wrinkle in Wednesday night’s Game 7 against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference final, though — while only Boston has hosted more Games 7 in this era (eight) than Washington (seven), the Caps have comparatively little experience in this sort of thing on the road in the Rock the Red era.
