Final Thoughts:

I find it somewhat interesting that Olie Kolzig is taking the blame for this loss even though Glen Hanlon does not want to pin it all on him. From what I saw of the third period, after the Ning went up 5-4 they sat back in a neutral zone trap and the Caps didn't show much willingness to fight through it. That looks to be more troubling to me than anything else. 44 down, 38 to go.
