But only a little. A sweep would also lessen a bit more of the pain. Where in the hell was this Carolina team all season?

If anything the sweep only proves our series loss wasn't a coaching one. We almost walked through them in Game 6 and 7 at points and then our boys just let of the gas tank. It looked like far less of a mental let off as well and more just they didn't have it in them. An emotional Cup win does eventually have it's wear. If anything I'm more bummed it did, because if the Caps from last seasons playoffs showed up like they did in flashes of that Canes series for a whole playoff series? From what I've seen from every other series this season it would be a cakewalk for our boys. Even the mighty Columbus has been able to get pushed and intimidated. The big thing about the playoffs is the grind, really always is. Long series or not, games are generally high emotions and high drama/very physical.
Anyway I don't think Carolina has looked all that unstoppable, I think they were always a gritty team that played games that felt like they were one goals. But I mean let's not act like they looked unbeatable against us. Sure they had the big home ice games, but even still our boys had nothing left by the last ten minutes of the third period in Game 7 and it wasn't like Carolina game blasting out able to handle it. If anything it only shows the skill difference. If the hard work of Carolina plus the skill of their top line is enough to push Trotz/Isle I don't think Isles were that big of a deal either. Again like I said, I think this Caps team playing at 100 playoff conditioned and ready walks away with these playoffs probably.

I didn't call for a shutout, just a sweep

I suppose the Caps can be proud they went 7 games with a couple OTs this playoffs
