I feel like the game was won on those two consecutive shifts in the third. Our guys were hemmed in for at least ninety seconds and were clearly exhausted but held the fort, and as soon as they got to the bench the next five guys spent like forty seconds getting good chances in Carolina's zone. It was a ridiculous shift by Carolina and not letting it build into any momentum for them was huge.

MODERATORS
I was sure Carolina was going to score during that shift.
Also I think it was about 2 minutes hemmed in.
This is stressful.
Think we just saw what great coaching can do. Carbs pushed all the right buttons today.
Result: Caps win, 3-1, tying the series at 1 apiece.
