The story of what was a 4-1 lead and how everything changed when the worst third period of all time attacked: numbers for the morning after

The Washington Capitals decided to play one of the worst periods I honestly can remember in recent team history. They threw away a three-goal, third period lead, and eventually lost to the Panthers in regulation 5-4.

Good. Lord. That was bad. This is also a preemptive apology for the tweet I will have embedded below as well.

Return of the Washington Collapsitals: Panthers beat Caps 5-4

The Washington Capitals looked very strong against the Florida Panthers for two periods. Unfortunately there is now a third period in hockey, and the Caps peed their pants all over it.

Connor McMichael started his good good night with a behind-the-net goal, then eleven seconds later Beck Malenstyn earned his first NHL goal. Gerontocrat Joe Thornton got Florida on the scoreboard by deflecting a shot by Aaron Ekblad, and that was one period.

The Caps added two more in the second period; first from Lars Eller on a strong drive to the net, then from Nick Jensen from a clean Nic Dowd pass to the slot.

The Panthers mounted a comeback in the third, starting with a goal by Ryan Lomberg, then a brutal shorthanded goal by Eetu Luostarinen. With 15 seconds left, Sam Reinhart beat Samsonov short-side.

Caps lose.
