Shot attempts were 49 Flames - 42 Capitlals when Monahan scored the second goal. That was at the 1:32 mark of the third period. There were 18:28 remaining.

At the end of the third they were 72 Capitals - 53 Flames

Do the math, once they got a lead they were out-attempted 30-4. That's a corsi-for percentage of 11.8%

That's not one team making a push. That's one team controlling 88% of the possession while the other team runs around helplessly. The last time we saw something as brutal possession-wise was Game 5 Overtime vs the Ducks. We all know how that ended. Once other teams ramp it up this team has to learn to ease the pressure and force the play in the neutral zone not just dump in at the red line for a desperate change and then leave the next line to fend for themselves.
