boudreau is a great coach and there is no denying he knows the game and he may be successful elsewhere. you've seen this in other sports. phil jackson started winning championships when he took over in chicago. maybe somebody else pushing the buttons will help. >> whatever the reasons are and i'm he sure there are many, it is probably not one. whether it is the coach, whether it is personnel, whether it is the front office or scouting, who knows? this team is not built to win a stanley cup and something has to be done. >> they are built to rack up big points during the regular season as they've won the east two years in a row. but there is something missing when they try to make that transition from regular season hockey to playoff hockey. >> at some point the doubt will creep in the players' minds too if it already hasn't. >> there are people that follow the team closely that say the players aren't on the same page. you tax about the difference, there are times here when the caps are kind of sleepwalking through the regular season and in the beltwayoffs, guys try to do their -- in the

>> george mcphee yesterday said he expects bruce boudreau to be back. i think unless there is a shake- up in management, that bruce will be back. sources tell me that he has about three years left on his deal. a good amount of money that goes with that. so unless they want to pay it off and bring in a new coach, it looks like he'll be back. but again, when does this -- how many times can you lose in the 2nd round. he's 17-20 in the playoffs. he has a phenomenal regular season record and they still can't get past the second round. >> and got to wrap it up. three players you don't expect to see back next year with the capitals. >> i don't think bright look, scott hanon and parla move, it doesn't look like he'll be back either. >> and you'll be back next year covering the caps. thank you very much this year. i thought we would be talking longer into the post season, sadly, boys, it is all over. steve, allison and tony, did not expect this to wrap up this quickly. >> i think for next year, no playoff beard. i know its tradition, but it wasn't worked. so sha

the thing is bruce boudreau's team had this game won last night. they scored three goals in the second period. had the lead with 15 minutes to go. but then the caps allowed two goals in a span of 24 seconds, lose the game and the guys are baffled. >> you can see it is like they are flipping a switch, you know. when they are down they know they are going to score or something. i don't know what it is. it leaves you flabbergasted. >> we have a lapse in a game of certain minutes and they capitalize on it. >> reporter: so now the question is, is this series over? and historically speaking it kind of is. of the 163 teams that haven trailed three games to none in an nhl playoff series only three have come back to win. the mission to become number 4 begins for the capitals tonight. they play back-to-back games for the first time in these playoffs. kind of hard to say if that's an advantage or disadvantage. either way the caps are saying that the series isn't over. whether or not they believe that is another matter. >> we can definitely come back. i know w

bruce boudreau, irate. an opportunity wasted. so late in the second period, tied at 2. it was amazing the caps could do this. ovechkin gives it to matt green. there's a scramble. ove comes back and the capitols take a 3-2 lead, so they're in business, but they still have to play the third. they can't play the puck from their zone. they end up with the puck and they hit an amazing goal. it's tied at 3. they have another scoring opportunity. they pass to ryan malone. it's considered a good goal because there was no distinct kicking motion there, and that would be the difference. the capitols fell 4-3 to the lightning. they now trail 3 games to none in the best of 7 series. so game one they weren't getting to lose pucks, game two they struggled on the power play, game 3, they lost the energy that finally got them tied in that third period. how do you explain this one, dan? >> this is crazy. you probably remember before this series that the head coach for tampa bay said this is like david taking on goliath. after three games, it looks like david resides in tampa bay. after

coach bruce boudreau says the caps will try, try again in game two. >> i think it's the key to every game and every series, you know, like you guys watch tv, and every time you listen to another coach's press conference that loses, we didn't win the battles, we didn't get the loose pucks. if you don't do that, you're not going to be successful. i think they got more than we did last night, and we'll try to do better tomorrow. >> stay with "news 4 today." we'll have pre and post-game coverage. >>> the redskins selected 12 players in the draft, the most since 1985, but none of them were quarterbacks. coach mike shanahan really likes john beck. saying last night, quote, i think the world of him. there's no doubt john beck is a hard worker, but he hasn't played in a regular season game since 2007. meanwhile in the fourth round of the draft, washington traded up and took 6 foot, 220 pound nebraska running back roy helu jr. he ran a 4.40 40 yard dash at the combine. and helu's father was a captain of the u.s. national rugby team. the redskins love the talent at nebraska so much, they also

after the game, washington head coach bruce boudreau gave the lightning all the credit for the win. >> they came in here and did the job. they got the lead. we think we had two shots on goal or three shots on goal in the third period until we scored. you know, i mean, they're playing a very disciplined game right now and they're getting most mileage out of all of their players. they believe. they won five in a row. they're a difficult team to play against. >> the series shifts to florida. game three is tuesday night with game four the very next night. >>> a chemistry teacher from frederick, maryland, the top teacher in the u.s. michelle sherrer named national teacher of the year. she teaches at urbana high school. she has a true passion for teaching and a belief that every student can act sell, if given the opportunity. >> encouraging students, yes, they can do this, it is difficult, it is challenging but if they take ownership, they can succeed at rigorous, difficult, challenging academic work. >> president obama will recognize her at the white house. she'll take the next year off to
