This no call changed the game. Somehow, after this play it became 4×4, and the Penguins scored twice.

Bad calls are going to happen in every game. The Caps need to react better. If a call like this happens in the playoffs, they need to respond differently. Instead of allowing two goals on the 4×4, they need to score a goal.

The key to the Stanley Cup Playoffs is keeping your emotions in check. Based on what I saw after this, the Caps are not ready to take the next step.
