They should have won this game. If they want to blame a bad call, go for it, but the bigger issue is likely Holtby's lackluster play or Ovechkin and Backstrom being complete non-factors. And had the ref not missed the blatant high stick on Guentzel, they might've been down more than one goal.

Also, their only win in this series is after an OT pp goal. This series was damn near a sweep for a very handicapped Pens team. The Capitals' issues go far beyond a bad call late.
