I only saw the play the next morning.
Most of the sports scribes that I listened to said that the call was terrible and shouldn't have been a penalty.

Tough call. I thought it was a penalty but I don't know about a 5 min. That said, you have a 3-0 lead. You can even give up 2 power play goals at that point and still be in the driver's seat.

Caps out. Up 2-0 and 3-1 in this game and can't finish at home. The craziness continues.

Williams should have been in the box and instead gets an assist on the game winner.

Sure, that was an obvious delay of game, no way you can't call that. The Caps caught a break earlier when they did the same on a much closer call and the refs missed it.

No sour grapes from me. Carolina was the better team. I just don't think that kind of play has any place in hockey. When the refs ignore one so obvious they are condoning it.

You can bet big that there are many Caps' fans today who are very angry with the owners for playing the cheap card with Barry Trotz.

Agreed. A textbook "slew-foot" and no call. When something is as blatant as that hockey can be infuriating.

Personally I don't think that really was the reason for the loss. Holtby was just ok, let in some softies, and that was the difference this year. Maybe they should have started Copley the first two games to get him fired up!

I agree too but the Caps are now out of it and the Islanders had a great year -- with Barry Trotz the common denominator.

Because of this excellent year by the Isles I was cheering for a Caps win now, and advances by the Maple Leafs, so that the fan-talk would be Trotz vs. Caps and the Isles vs. John Taveres.

Would anyone have thought the Isles would sweep in Round One with both the Caps and Leafs losing?

Even smaller upsets like this is why the NHL playoffs are the best, most exciting and unpredictable in all sports.

I now know three things about hockey.


1. It has a puck. There's that.


2. And we, meaning Carolina, have beaten last year's Stanley Cup champions, the Caps.


3. And we, again, meaning Carolina, are up 2-0 against the Islanders. .... Sorry, New York.


GO CANES!!!!
