WASHINGTON — Justin Williams didn’t mince words when describing the Carolina Hurricanes’ sputtering Game 1 special teams squads.
“The power play kill was crap and the penalty kill was crap also,” the Canes captain told the media today after practice at Capital One Arena.
“They’re going to get opportunities, obviously,” Williams said. “But there’s a couple little things we looked at to do the best we can to nullify and a couple things we looked at on the power play as well to be more impactful. We could have had a huge impact on that game and instead didn’t come through.
