Why the Bruins-Capitals Playoff Series Is Breaking in Boston's Favor

Bean: Why Bruins-Capitals series is breaking in Boston's favor originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston. The Hockey Gods apparently don't like the Capitals. Their guys are dropping like flies, and when good players aren't injured, they're making mistakes. This was always a winnable series, even if not enough people were taking the Capitals seriously. Now, with the first round knotted at a game apiece, the expectation should be that Boston snaps out of its early series malaise and handles the Capitals.
