beyond the hype and talk of the announcers and such...
I thought Willy looked outstanding, probably the best player on the ice. He has to be a scorer for us this year. He has the speed and hands, and size and so on. Much more skill than I think people credit him
Backy honestly looked better than he has in years. Hard to tell in preseason, but he didn't look slow
McMichael actually looked like he belonged there - hopefully he makes the jump for real and contributes
Kuzy certainly looked better...anytime he is circling like sharks on the prowl, he is usually on his game....carrying the puck and driving the play.
Miko (cherry) looked pretty good. Got to be awesome for him actually playing on a line with a Russian idol like Ovi.
Lindy looked very good
I think Carbery's system will be more fun for the guys (if their old bones can keep it up) and I think that will help drive guys like Kuzy and McMike who may not have flourished well under old school. Plus its sort of a fresh start for everyone so there's hope.
Hope in one hand...
Go Caps

I’m not at all surprised by this. The kid is 18 and was part of this summer’s draft pool. There is a minimum age to play in the AHL/Hershey, and I think it’s 21.

Note: My prediction of poor defense had nothing to do with last night or the preseason. We've just not been good defensively, for a good long while now. :raspberry:

dont think anyone really had expectations of Cristall making the Caps squad this year. I expect his buddy Beddard will make it, but it's a bit different for a 1st overall...little more hype and expectation when you are THE very best player in a draft class and the best one in a while.
Cristall did look pretty good though. THere's some hope for the future anyway. Him and the Russian cherry could be two great scorers
