Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Carolina jumps out to a three goal lead through most of two periods of play, collapses in the third, limps into overtime, and has the dagger driven through them by a goal on an odd-man rush that probably should never have happened. It feels like someone told them that hockey is played in halves, and they are almost surprised by the existence of a third period. But hey, on the upside, this just means that first W is going to feel even better...right?
