    #Caps50Facts

    2025 marks the second time in franchise history the Washington Capitals face the Montreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The only other time was in 2010, which saw both teams trade overtime victories to split the series in DC then the Capitals taking both Games 3 and 4 in Montreal. However for the Capitals, they ran into goaltender Jaroslav Halak who became red hot and stole the remainder of the series and giving the Canadiens the 4-3 series victory, eliminating the Capitals from the Playoffs.

    Thoughts on the Game

    Back home for Game 5, the Washington Capitals look to eliminate the Montreal Canadiens for the first time this series, plus win their first series since winning the Stanley Cup in 2018, and eliminate a team at home for the first time since 2015 (v. NYI).

    The nerves going into this game after watching both Game 5’s the night before between Toronto and Ottawa and New Jersey against Carolina were warranted. Toronto failing to close out Ottawa for a second straight game, and then Carolina needing to erase a 3 goal deficit to win in double overtime to eliminate New Jersey, you knew tonight was going to be a tough one.

    Going into the third period, the Canadiens took control for a while, but the powerplay showed up as Alex Ovechkin sniped one right off the faceoff to give the Capitals the 1-0 lead. Then, shortly after, Jakob Chychrun scored to grow the Capitals lead to two. That gave us the breathing room we needed. Add Tom Wilson’s powerplay tally in the second period, and you had that sense that it was going to happen.

    Going into the third period, I definitely had some nervousness going through me. When Montreal scored to cut the Capitals lead to two, I had every right to be nervous, but when Andrew Mangiapane got a quality scoring chance right away, those nerves began to disappear. When the Canadiens pulled Jakub Dobes, you felt the icing on the cake was coming, and Brandon Duhaime delivered it with the empty netter as the Capitals took Game 5 4-1 and eliminate the Canadiens 4-1.

    My hat is off to the Canadiens. They played a hell of a series, and Game 3 was their night to shine. They have a bright future ahead of them. Now it is time to prepare for the Carolina Hurricanes.
