The Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins are in the middle of an Eastern Conference playoff battle.

Coming into the series, the Flyers were the decided underdog. In the first two games, the Penguins had home-ice advantage and won both times. The next two games were at Philadelphia, with the Flyers winning Game 3 and the Penguins taking Game 4.

Being a Philadelphia team, the Flyers are used to playing from behind and know how to adapt. Another Pittsburgh win would grant them a spot in the Eastern Conference semifinals and eliminate the Flyers. With Pittsburgh at home for Game 5 tonight, the Flyers will have to pull out an unexpected win and prove everyone wrong.

Our nation’s capital plays host to many teams; exclusively the Washington Capitals and the Washington Wizards.

The Capitals finished the regular season with a record 50-24-8. All-star wing Alexander Ovechkin is the centerpiece of this dominant offense and has his team in the middle of a tough playoff series with the New York Rangers. 

The Caps have played on a different level ever since Coach Bruce Boudreau stepped in during the 2007 season. Last year, Boudreau led his team to 25 more wins and 24 more points than the year before, scoring a prestigious Southeast Division title. Although the Caps fell to the Philadelphia Flyers in last year’s playoffs, they’re once again the Southeast Division champs and hope to go deep in the postseason this year.

Everything seems to be going right with the Capitals. The Wizards, well… not so much.
