bruce boudreau said he might take pre-game warmups to give his team inspiration. when coach was asked if that meant knuble would play, man, did he get irritated. >> reporter: you're saying mike knuble was not playing tonight? >> i didn't say anything. i just said he's here, he's taking warmup for an inspiration. i told you this morning what i told yous here. quit asking the question. >> reporter: "quit asking the question." get out of my face. in other words boudreau is ready to play tonight and it was not myself that got under his skin, melvin. >> c-a-p-s, caps, caps, caps. >>> post john paul ii is on the fast track to beautification. one more path in the hurdle to become a saint. catholics atended ceremonies in his honor today. >> reporter: there are firsts and near firsts here. this is the first time a pope has been beautified by his successor and among the speediest paths to sainthood for the 1.1 billion estimated catholics including the local faithful it's no surprise the most modern pope is being considered for canonization. >> it made sense there would be a

it's important not only for their confidence into the game down 0-2 but bruce boudreau said it allows to you control the tempo of the game. the caps hit the ice at the same time at 11:00 a.m. this morning and down 0-2 in the series, they need to get the power play working. the caps arrived in tampa and not in a panic but knowing work needs to be done. >> and both games are tight and close and a tweak here and there, it would be a different series and they're ready to play. >> you have to play angry and on edge and this is play-off hockey. you can't think too far ahead. >> you are desperate to score the first goal and get the first hit and there is dispraise. >> reporter: there is chatter that bruce boudreau could make a change and he will get the start, the 8th for him. >>> the game begins in 5 minutes and that is with that early start. >>> this is no ordinary game for the $126 million man and former philly jayson werth and had the double in the second inning. hopefully things go well tonight when he faces the phils the first time in the old park. he might be a national now, but his w

boudreau hinted, this could just be for inspiration. meanwhile the capitals know it's important to win tonit. they don't want to have to head down to tampa with two losses. the capitals know they've got to start off with a lot more energy than they did last time. they didn't start off strong like they would have liked. they hung in there and the capitals had a 2-1 lead but the tide turned and once the lightning found their rhythm they took advantage of the capitals team struggling on a penalty kill. how much more difficult do you think they'll be to face tonight because of that momentum they gained from game one? >> well they believe they can beat us now which is going to be big for them, i think. we'll have to take the will out of them early, make sure we get a lot of shots on goals. >> reporter: what was the biggest lesson learned from game one loss? >> stick to the game plan. the coaches did a good job of figuring what to do to beat them. we had a good lead, changed the style of play we were playing and it cost us. >> reporter: what

you can feel the tension in the room when bruce boudreau was asked about his job, though. a writer told me teddy does not like to pay people who work for him. he's signed a multi-year contract. i don't know if that means anything. we'll find out very soon. >> he is also known for his patience and that goes to bruce budde ro's favor as well. we'll hear again coming up at 6:00. >> they certainly have the odds stacked against them. >> this was not supposed to unfold against them. >> the players were saying we're not playing our game. what's going on then? that's why it's maddening. that's why you wonder is it a coaching issue or what is it? >> thank you, lindsay. >> let's take a look at what we're working on for news 4 at 6:00, doreen? >> we now know where harry reid had to go to the hospital this morning. we'll have details on that. >>> the virginia couple accused of caging a child in a crib and they explain to investigators what they were thinking. >>> we begin to get detail about the awful house exscomploegz what should have been done to prevent this disaster. those storie

>> 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

most notably at the capitals head coach bruce boudreau. a lot of people believe that if the caps lose this series, his tenure in washington is over. we will get into that a little bit more when we join you back here 40 minutes from now. for now we are live in tampa. i'm brett haber in a big, deep hole, guys. >> let's hope they can claw their way out of it, brett. thank you. >> that would be nice. >>> meantime montgomery county police keeping streets safe cracking down on law breakers on a district line to conneticut avenue. >> reporter: these officers will be enforcing both driving laws and pedestrian safety laws. so they are going to be looking for people who fail to yield today, looking for speeders, failing to yield to a traffic signal or light or sign. >> police also plan to ticket pedestrian violators who break the law and don't let people cross. >> get a check on the overall evening rush with monika samtani on a wednesday night. >> thank you so much. we got the yellow light because we have a good news/bad news situation. an accident

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

i think he might consider a change but i think he is patient enough to stick with bruce boudreau and this team for another season. >> it may not be boudreau. but you have to admit if they don't get to the eastern conference finals, there is something fatally wrong with the team. >> it is a broken record. >> cakes said the same thing last year. so did eb. i'm with lurch. i would change the coach. >> we've got about 30 seconds left. last night at the ballpark, nats park military appreciation. nats respond and that is a cool night at the ballpark. >> they won three out of four against the world champs. >> they had a really good pitching series. long season, they are 500 but they still have a problem at leadoff hit are and they are not hitting the ball. so nice weekend but it is a long season. >> the good news is, steve, all of this stuff that is going on in the world with bin laden and everything else of course it puts everything in perspective. you know what? even if the caps don't win, even for the nats struggle to the most part this year, there are bigger fish to try. >> we want the

is to the bruce boudreau would has the best winning percentage among active coaches or the guy that has a losing playoff record. is it the system? is to the players? nobody knows the fix. a bunch of people will say fire the coach. nobody knows. >> in my opinion, this might be more disappointing than last year even though they advanced to the conference semis this year. any time you are swept in the playoffs by a team that you were pretty successful against in the regular season and you weren't that competitive in the series, it is not like the one seven games and won three games in the series. this is an embarrassment. any time you are swept, that is an embarrassment. >> not only swept, swept by a division opponent. that makes it sipping doubly in my opinion. >> a lot of people are just saying get rid of coach boudreau. i think that is an emotional decision. i know tucker barnes has been saying it about a thousand times this morning to the point where i'm get ago noid with him. is it really an emotional decision f you play the role of a general manager or ted leonsis, is to the right de

bruce boudreau said his troops are coming in angry and that could be a bad thing. i smoke with -- spoke with matt bradley a few moments ago. >> what is the mood and attitude of the team? >> we dug ourselves in this hole and it's a matter of us playing good hockey and getting on you of it. >> does i have venue change help it all? and they had success post season. >> i love so -- i hope so. our fans give us a boost and getting away and clearing our heads may help and to get the win tonight. >> reporter: you were with the team in '09. do you -- in '09. do you reflect on that series and talk with your teammates at all? >> you remember the things and boston did it earlier in the year this year and that is not an ensurmoundable holdover. -- insurmountable holdover. it's a matter of going one game at a time. >> and these are tough games. not like either team is blowing each other out. what is it going to take for to you blow out of the hole? >> it's playing and that is seeming like we're tossing ourselves a couple of goals each game. they lock it down and don't give you o

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

. >> reporter: now, bruce boudreau was asked if he was going to make a goalie change and he said no. the followup question, would michael noibert start? maybe, we're not sure if we're going to see him in goal tonight and the other big news, mike green was seen limping pretty bad on his left leg out of the arena this morning and that seems he's questionable for this game and that is a killer, feldy? >> and that would. we'll check with you at 6:00. lindsay murphy live in tampa. >>> we're staying on top of a nationwide consumer alert tonight. apple and google, under fire. >> and the justice department took action against the giants for tracking your every move. the details are next. >>> and the sony system security breach is all about damage control tonight. what can the company do to make millions of customers happy? the answer is still ahead. so, what happens if i'm in an accident and need to get my car fixed? progressive makes it easy because we give you choices. you can pick where to get your car fixed. we can cut you a check. or, at our service center, we take care of everything fo

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
