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’

Game X: 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.
