Scouting the Flyers
Game 3 was about as demoralizing a loss as any team can suffer. It’s unlikely the Flyers can even begin to turn the tide at this point, but they’ll try. They obviously must start with discipline. Philadelphia gave the Capitals a staggering nine power play opportunities, and they cashed in on five of them. Penalties were a problem even before the fans began throwing things on the ice, so that must be the first step in Philadelphia’s comeback attempt.
Scouting the Capitals
Washington is riding higher than any playoff team right now. Their special teams have been just about perfect, goalie Braden Holtby elite and their best players (notably, Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom) phenomenal. Aside from a minor injury scare for Holtby in practice (he's fine), the Capitals could close out the series unscathed.
