The two goals against last night were both circumstances where Fever would have been on the ice...killing a penalty and trying to shut down the game. Not that he could play the whole period, but he is our #1 PK D man, and shot blocker. Hockey is funny with the bounces and such so you never know, but if Fever is on the PK, that 1st Montreal goal doesn't happen.
Beuvy had a nice game for himself. Nice to see him contribute... he competes hard and works for the puck. I didn't really like him on the top line, but he is the worker bee on that line to muck out the puck and feed the Big Russian machine, so it worked last game anyway. Reading some history on him...he seems a big game/playoff guy so hopefully that continues.
Is there an acquisition the Caps made this season that hasn't worked? Raddysh hasn't done anything great, but not sure I expected a whole lot out of him as a 4th liner making $1m. Sure wish he had some Dale Hunter in his game though.
Thompson 943 Sv%, 1.92 GAA... pretty good so far.
I saw where NJ will play without Hughes or Dillon. Ouch. They already had their hands full. Carolina is gonna stomp them.
