Summary

This week marked the first three games of the Capitals-Canadiens first-round playoff series, and so far, it’s 2-1 Caps. Hear John Walton call Ovi’s game-winner, Mikey’s empty-netter, and Tom Wilson sparking an end-of-period brawl from right here on our air. On the talk tip, we look at what the Caps need to do to win it all, and the notion of whether or not they can – and how their success will affect other DC teams looking to keep reloading on the fly. Plus, the Junks marvel at the steal the Caps got with Dylan Strome, DSP checks in mid-series…and we find out that the Caps’ theme song is Bandz that DON’T make Danny Rouhier dance?
