There was a mental letdown after clinching a playoff spot, so there could be another after clinching the Atlantic.
Factor in travel after a physical game, in a barn they have had major struggles in, and I won't get bent out of shape if the outcome isn't good. In no way will it be indicative of what will happen in a seven game series.
The friendly competition between Ullmark and Swayman could be a factor. Ullmark got the B's two points in Calgary under somewhat similar circumstances. Swayman absolutely is capable of doing similar.
Will be interesting to watch Hathaway and Orlov. The Caps have some history with the Canes.
Oh, and I bet they're wearing the Whaler jerseys for Jack Edwards.
