ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Joe Gibbs, the god of Washington championships, the three-time Redskins Super Bowl champion coach — that Joe Gibbs — was in the house at the Capital One Arena Saturday night. So was Wonder Woman.
How could the Capitals lose?
Turns out they didn’t need the blessing of Gibbs or the power of Lynda Carter. They had Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Braden Holtby.
That trio has led Washington throughout this postseason, and, in the first Stanley Cup game in Washington since 1998, the trifecta of Ovechkin, Kuznetsov and Holtby paid off with a 3-1 Game 3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights.
