Hey Flyers, 1988 called and they want their choke job back. Ok, maybe thats a bit of an overstatement and a bit premature, but let’s compare the 1988 series to todays’
| 1988 | 2008 | |
| Game 1 | L, 4-2 | W, 5-4 |
| Game 2 | W, 5-4 | L, 2-0 |
| Game 3 | L, 4-3 | L, 6-3 |
| Game 4 | L, 5-4 OT | L, 4-3 OT |
| Game 5 | W, 5-2 | W, 3-2 |
| Game 6 | W, 7-2 | W, 4-2 |
| Game 7 | W, 5-4 OT | ? |
In both cases the Caps were down 3-1 to the Flyers then rallied to force a game 7. Can the 2008 Caps deliver an exhilarating overtime victory like the 1988 team did. Only time will tell.
