And of course the Capitals scored, because that’s what they spent all of the first period doing on Wednesday night. In an increasingly belligerent series, this is clearly how both teams wish to play the game: Back to the ’80s. What’s surprising is that it took four games for their pedigree to surface against the nouveau cockiness of a first-generation Leafs team. Still, it didn’t quite have the sense of Game 3 deja vu, when the Leafs twice overcome two-goal deficits. Something to keep in mind for Game 5, the weird inclination of the Caps, and the errors which rather constitute a theme.
