The goal horn has been played quite a bit lately for the Capitals. It is only played when the Capitals score. It is not played when the visitors get a goal. The crowd has been so loud that you can not hear what is being played.
Tonight marks a big game for the Caps. Many observers do not think that Washington has played particularly well. A big change is that the Caps win anyhow. We used to, in years past, play well and lose in the playoffs.
A chance to go up 3 – 0 in the series makes it very hard for the hated Penguins to win the series. They would have to take 4 in a row from the Caps, with two of those played in DC. About a 2% chance on that happening.
If the Pens defeat the Caps tonight, that makes it 2 -1 in favor of Washington. The Pens could lose game 4, putting them down 3 -1 to the DC skaters. Still would have to win 3 in a row, with two games being in DC. About a 20% chance. The Pens have done this before to the Caps.
Of course, if the series is 2 – 2 after the games in the Igloo, then it is anybody’s series.
