Sometimes, when the dam bursts, you’re standing under it with a parasol and a waterproof pair of underwear hoping it will be sufficient.
That was the Capitals in the second period, and it was not sufficient.
Montreal poured on FOUR, count ‘em FOUR, goals in the middle frame. Phillip Danault, Shea Weber, Jordan Weal, and Brendan Gallagher all got on the scoreboard, with a couple of those tallies looking miiiighty suspect on Ilya Samsonov’s part.
It’s 4-0 Canadiens after forty minutes.
Third period ahead…
