Justin Williams used a much more relatable toothpaste analogy after Game 3 loss to the Bruins

There's no other way to put it, the Carolina Hurricanes are in a HUGE hole right now and chances are they won't get out of it. Tuesday night, Carolina lost 2-1 in Game 3 to Boston and they are now one loss away from elimination.

It's not impossible to make a comeback, but history is not on their side and beating a Bruins team that lost to the Flyers up 3-0 back in 2010 will be anything but easy. Still, the Hurricanes aren't going to give up and captain Justin Williams had another interesting analogy when talking about being down 3-0.

Justin Williams on begin down 3-0, employing an analogy from Rod Brind'Amour: "You know the toothpaste where you can always squeeze a little bit more out of it? ... We’re going to try to squeeze as much as we can out of our toothpaste here. We’ve got plenty left in it."

A very interesting and relatable analogy. Everyone knows you have to squeeze every last drop of toothpaste out before moving on to a new one. Plus, we prefer this analogy way more than the very gross one Williams had earlier in the series.

Justin Williams: "Sometimes you’ve got to eat a poop sandwich. It doesn’t taste good, but you have to chew on it for a little bit. We’ll have to do it for a couple of days and get the taste out of our mouth the next game."

The Hurricanes say they have plenty left, but it might not be enough the way Tuukka Rask is playing right now. One more stellar outing from him and the Bruins will be back in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since the 2012/13 season.
