Washington Capitals stick to their guns in game three
While the Philadelphia Flyers turned to their ineffective roots, the Washington Capitals kept a level head and buried their opponent to take a 3-0 series lead.
This was supposed to be a night of remembrance in Philadelphia.
A touching tribute to their late owner and founder, Ed Snider, who passed away just last week at 83, added even more emotion to a building and a team that was already charged. Thoughtful bracelets were attached to fans’ seats to be a part of the pregame ceremony for Snider. As it turned out, the night would be remembered for all of the wrong reasons.
And as the pressure mounted in front of a crazed crowd, you could almost see it coming.
