Unbelievable Shutdown: How the Canes Silenced the Caps in a Stunning 4-0 Sweep
That sucked. Teasing us, the Caps looked great for twenty minutes. In an alternate universe they’d have been up 2-0 at the first intermission. But Brind’Amour’s adjustments were better than Carbery’s, or Carolina’s performers were better than Washington’s, or both. So we got two oppressive, plodding periods, punctuated only by occasional icings.
We know the Caps can outplay the Canes. We saw it in Game 2, we saw it in the first period tonight. But they haven’t proved they can sustain. They can try again on Monday.
