Here at A Scoop of DC, we live and breathe D.C. sports. We love our teams more than is healthy, especially given how often they completely crush our spirits. Right now, things are going pretty well. If you thought you were enjoying the past few weeks, with the Nats, Capitals and/or Wizards playing seemingly every day, then you are in for an absolute doozy on Wednesday, May 10th.

Capitals vs. Penguins Game 7 (7:30 pm): The Caps were down 3-1 vs. Sidney Crosby and the Penguins; however there has never been a better year to fall to 3-1. That lead which once seemed insurmountable is now a running internet joke. Game 7 will be held at the Phone Booth. Maybe, just maybe, this could be the year the Caps figure out how to knock off “Sid the Kid” for good, and thus not disappoint the entire city. Barry Trotz has looked like a genius lately, as the Burakovsky/Ovechkin switch has revitalized what was a lethargic Caps offense. TJ Oshie and company dominated Game 6 in Pittsburgh. The Penguins pulled together a late run, but the series momentum still firmly lies with the good guys in red.

So yeah, the Caps don’t exactly have outstanding Game 7 history, or history against the Penguins, or history in general, but this year is different (I think). The Caps do have “Mr. Game 7,” Justin Williams, who earned his nickname from his time with the Los Angeles Kings. Last time I checked, the Penguins have exactly 0 players nicknamed Mr. Game 7, which gives the Caps an indisputable advantage, even if they have never made it past Round 2, Game 7 in the Ovechkin era. My heart tells me the Caps will win this one in a hard fought game 4-2. Unfortunately my mind disagrees, reminding me that this team will always break my heart, so naturally the Pens will score a game winning goal in the final minute or in OT. Only time will tell which of these will come true.

Wizards @ Celtics Game 5 (8 pm): John Wall is God. There’s no way around it at this point. Caron Butler was absolutely right in saying that Wall is now the 2nd best player in the East, behind only Lebron Blames. Also, Kelly Oubre will be back, which will make the fans in Boston none too pleased. This should only provide more motivation for the Wizards to continue the funeral of Kelly Olynyk #FourStraightFunerals. If the Wiz can get off to a hot start, particularly if Beal and Keef knock down their shots early, they should be able to cruise to a third straight victory and bring the series home to DC Friday to close it out.

Battle of the Beltway: Orioles v. Nats (7:05 pm): The Nationals have been red hot offensively this entire year, getting contributions from all over the lineup despite the loss of trade acquisition Adam Eaton. Regardless of their success, the Nats seem to struggle against the O’s every year. Both teams are immensely talented and the series should be a hard fought four games. The series shifts to D.C. Wednesday where the Nats hope they can turn their luck around after getting the series off to a less than ideal start. The battle between superstars (and likely future Yankees) Bryce Harper and Manny Machado is always extremely entertaining to watch. Hopefully the Nationals can assert their dominance as the top team in the area.

Days in which three big D.C. teams all win have been exceptionally rare in recent years. While Wednesday May 10th has the potential to be excruciatingly disappointing, it also could go down as one of the most incredible and important days in the history of Washington Sports. Although we are not a city typically thought of as having the best fans, tomorrow can be a day where The District can truly rally our teams to successes that have been years in the making.
