In a 6-0 loss to the defending champs, the Hurricanes looked lost and almost uninvolved for most of the game. I thought we were lucky to escape the first period down only one, thanks to the play of Trevor van Riemsdyk and Petr Mrazek, but things only got worse from there. The Capitals added two more in the second and three more in the third, to make the final score 6-0.
But hey, only two games ago, these same Hurricanes beat these same Capitals 5-0, in a game that was equally one-sided. The Capitals recovered, so can the Hurricanes.
