These confident Capitals fans had Nicklas Backstrom sign a broom because ‘we’re getting that 4-0 sweep’

The Washington Capitals lead the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Final, but there are three Caps fans who are very confident in their favorite team.

Tuesday, after the Capitals morning skate, Nicklas Backstrom signed autographs (with the glove still on his right hand) and took photos with fans. He also signed this item.

A broom. Because “we’re getting that 4-0 sweep” over the Lightning.

Our Twitter followers handled this photo well.

So now, if the Capitals lose tonight, you’ll know who to blame.

(Not these two fans.)
