Game 1 reaction snippets:

Japers Rink: But let’s be clear: the Caps won last night solely based on their talent advantage (particularly in net in this one, though Petr Mrazek did make a few huge stops in the third that allowed Carolina to claw back into the game), their special teams play and some good fortune. Is that a recipe for success going forward? Let’s not find out. ... If the Caps’ special teams continue to be special and they can tighten up their game at even-strength, they should be in good shape going forward. If not? Pray for Braden Holtby.

Canes Country: It’s also said that a series doesn’t start until the home team loses. Carolina outperformed the Caps in the final two periods including scoring two unanswered goals. They can build on that momentum for Saturday. If the Canes can come out without a bad first period in game two, they still have the chance to come back to Raleigh with home-ice advantage.
