Sudden death to decide winner in DC
Posted by Kovy274Hart under 2008 Playoffs , Capitals , Eastern Conference Playoffs , FlyersThey’re going to overtime at The Verizon Center in DC. Twenty years prior, another series between the Flyers and Capitals required sudden death to decide before Dale Hunter won it 5-4 on a breakaway.
Will history repeat itself for Alex Ovechkin and the Caps tonight? His ridiculous rocket is why Game Seven is tied 2-2.
As Dave Strader mentioned on Versus, this will be the 30th Stanley Cup Playoff Game Seven to go to OT. Who will be the hero?
I’m going to pick a player from each side before it begins.
Flyers- I’ll go with Daniel Briere. He’s been dangerous all game and leads the playoffs with 10 points including six goals.
Capitals- Most would go with logic and take Ovechkin as he’s been flying all night long. I’ll go with his Russian comrade Alexander Semin as he’s had some good chances.
We’ll see if I know what I’m talking about.
