Whichever team wins tonight will win the series. That is my rather simplistic outlook on the Caps current situation. If they go down 3-0 they are then relegated to Death Row. Maybe you prolong the inevitable by winning Game's 4 and 5, but the overwhelming odds are stacked against you. Also being down 3-0 with game 4 less than 24 hours would only add to the myriad of obstacles that would be facing the Caps.
Conversely, a win tonight puts a lot of pressure on Tampa to take game 4 on home ice. When you couple that with a quick 24 hour layoff, the Caps should be sitting pretty come Wednesday night/early Thursday morning on their plane ride home with a tied series.
I guess we will know tonight who is going to win the series. No, that's not true. What I really mean is we will know tonight whether or not the Capitals have any chance at winning this series.
