Florida Panthers vs. Washington Capitals Prediction

Well, Washington choked the hell out of that game the other night, and like I said, Florida has woken up. Both squads are uber-talented and capable of winning here, we know that but I just feel as though the Florida Panthers are ready to make a move, and with two games to do it I am sure they are feeling great but Washington will not just rollover.

They have the veteran leadership, big play capabilities, and overall just can play some good playoff hockey as we have seen but Florida has just refused to be denied. That overtime victory saved their chances this year and after storming back in that game five they just seem to hold the edge here. Washington should keep it close and might even force the game seven but regardless of if they do or not this total should be money again.

Desperation from a team comes out when losing late in elimination games so if trailing we know we can expect the EN goals at the end but I feel like we should not have to rely on those here as both teams should find the back of the net one or twice at a minimum before that third period begins.
