It's game 2 out of training camp. I thought it was a blast to watch. The Caps firepower is something to watch. Add an improved defense and this could be another great season.
BlackIce:
Pittsburgh is to be congratulated for playing a perfectly clean game after a couple of early penalties, while the Caps committed the last 5 penalties of the game.
ArJunaZ:
The other notable thing I though of is how many D-men are scoring.
4 Caps:
Story of this game was penalties, Caps gave up 2 power play goals and didn’t score any. At even strength we outscored them 6 to 5. Again I think the reason we took so many penalties was the fatigue factor.
On the positive side it is really nice to see Oshie getting off to a great start. We are going to need Oshie to score more than 18 goals this season. I thought the top two lines looked good but bottom two lines were pretty much invisible. I was disappointed especially in the third line, they had a great game last night against Boston. They had 7 high quality chances last night, tonight they had 1.

It was a terrible game. So what if you can score goals. If you give up 7 goals you aren't going to win very many games.
Thought I would point out that Carlson was by far our best dman tonight in both ends if the ice. Pretty bad when Carlson is your shutdown guy.
Oshie was pretty easily our best forward. Pretty much everyone else sucked.
