Washington vs Philadelphia NHL Playoffs Game 5 Betting Guide
Written by Henry Watkins on April 21, 2016
There is no pressure in sports quite like that which teams face once the postseason gets off and running. Knowing that the next game might be your last can make even the strongest of teams a little weak in the knees. That pressure is relative, though, as there are some teams that carry more than others. The heaviest burden heading into this NHL playoff season has to be on the shoulders of the Washington Capitals. This was a team that cruised to a President’s Trophy, and who the majority of hickey fans believe are more than good enough to win the Stanley Cup. The problem here is that they haven’t really faced any real adversity this season, which means their mental toughness hasn’t been put to the test. The same cannot be said for their first round opponent, the Philadelphia Flyers, as they had to fight all the way to the final week of the season just to secure a playoff spot. The Capitals hold a 3-1 series lead heading into Game 5 on Friday, but the Flyers could up the pressure by stealing one on the road.
