Well, Alan, we came to Raleigh, hoping for a sweep, or at least expecting to go back to DC

with the Caps having a chance to close out the series. Instead, we're heading back for Saturday

night. Series is tied to two games apiece. Carolina's got all the momentum now, and the

caps will be without T.J. O'Shee for, as Todd Reardon said, quite some time. And a huge blow. We're thinking

shoulder injury, something could be a separated shoulder, dislocated shoulder, hopefully not a

broken collarbone or broken ribs or, you know, things like that. But you definitely be out for a while.

If it's any of those, did not look good. He normally tries to come back,

but when you're holding your wrists like that, to me it usually is handicapping that, you know,

it's something like that. A huge blow to the caps, possession player, great five-on-five two-way

player that you play against the other team's top players. So defensively stout, an offensive finisher, and that's a huge hole to fill for the Capitals in their lineup.

And a huge leader for this team inside the dressing room and out on the ice.

But now we've got a best of three starting Saturday night.

We're back live on F Street.

I'm Rob Carlin.

The Capitals Talk podcast starts now.

T.J. Barreling in.

Sent to the boards, not down World Blue.

O'Shee is hurt.

T.J. O'Shee is hurt.

Really hurt.

Hit from behind, and he was unsuspecting on that play.

The caps will get a power play here.
