Caps have found their rhythm again and staying on the game plan and continuing to attack. When we play with this mind set we dominate the BJ's. We should be winning this series tonight with 4-0 sweep.

I know right. Literally out worked all 5 Columbus players on the ice for what felt like a full minute and a half. He was everywhere, the boards, covering on the point, the front of the net, forechecking, going to every loose puck. That is the big reason you play like that, even if he isn't scoring Columbus has to work so bloody hard just to get by one of our guys.
Trotz was very smart to put Stephenson up there in hindsight, that line has been an absolute hassle to deal with. Columbus has been double teaming Nicky all series and now with that line like it is they do that and Oshie/Stephenson forecheck them to oblivion and suddenly Backstrom gets open lanes/passing time.
