The Washington Capitals couldn't outlast the upstart Carolina Hurricanes in Game 7 of their first-round Stanley Cup Playoffs series.
Washington's Stanley Cup defense ended in stunning fashion, on a Brock McGinn goal 11:05 into double overtime late Wednesday evening at Capital One Arena.
It was Mr. Game 7 himself, Justin Williams, on the assist, tossing the dagger to be twisted into his former team to end the Caps' hopes of going back to back.
