5:30 left, Gushchin had this opportunity to tie it and couldn't get it past Knight:
I didn't notice it on replay because I was too busy hanging my head in disbelief, but on the third goal, Chrona accidentally played it to a Checker on his right when he was trying to clear the puck, who then scores:
Cuda had three power plays, went 0 for 3 on them, shots were 34-34, Cuda only took one minor penalty in the game. And yeah. 4-1, Charlotte.
I remember early in the year they would tweet out post-game interviews with McCarthy on the Cuda Twitter account. Can't remember the last time I saw one of those.
