When the Toronto Maple Leafs booked a first round matchup with the Washington Capitals, a good majority of the hockey world expected the Capitals to roll right through the Maple Leafs.
However, after the first three games of the series, the roles are reversed as it’s the No. 8 seed-Maple Leafs holding a 2-1 series lead.
With the Capitals having a reputation of falling short in the postseason and now trailing 2-1 in the series, Capitals fans are pretty much in panic mode after a recent poll showed that 97% of the fan base is extremely concerned heading into Wednesday night’s Game 4.
It turns out the fan base aren’t the only ones worried. It turns out the media is worried as well. Here’s the cover for the Express paper in DC.
If Caps fans are extremely worried now, who knows what state they’ll be in if they happen to go down 3-1 in the series.
