The folks over at SBN’s Capitals blog, Japers’ Rink, are proud of the job done by their club north of the border in Montreal this evening. Much of their success came thanks to their ability to whether the storm the Bell Centre crowd brought upon them.
Capitals Weathered The Montreal Crowd Well In Game 3
As proud as we often are of Verizon Center, the toughest place to play in the NHL continues to be Bell Centre in Montreal. Coming off a somewhat uneven win and a 1-1 split back at home, the task was a daunting one for the Capitals - go into this extremely tough building and attempt to steal back home ice advantage. It was to be the first of what we hope will be many tests of just how good a team they really are.
They passed with flying colors.
After weathering the initial storm that accompanies playoff mania in Montreal, the Caps came out flying in the second period and dominated from that point on, allowing the Canadiens only momentary glimpses at offensive pressure en route to the first lopsided game of the postseason.
