not bad, still too many dumb stick penalties
A few of them were a tad suspect.  The refs were pretty awfull in the first period.  Glad they swallowed their whistles as the game went on.

Yeah, they swallowed quite a few that should have favored the Caps.  I guess these refs never get called out by their bosses for crappy performance . . . Ever!

We're seeing positive signs of life on offense. If our defense can get it together I will be a happy fan.

tomorrow they play the jealous asshats that mocked Kuzys bird

If they don't bring their A game tomorrow, they'll likely get embarrassed.. Should give us an early glance if they got any fire in the belly at all. Given they were mocking Kuzy last time and we've been playing like shit for over a month.

Agree. I see this as a "test" game. Beating a basement dweller like the Kings is one thing, but we need to rack up wins against actual playoff contending opponents too. CBJ isn't even cream of the crop - they're basically in the lower tier of playoff contenders. If we can't beat them how do we expect to win against any elite team?

Good win (any win is good) but the D still needs a lot of work.  They allowed the Kings way too much time to set up shop in their offensive zone and skate circles around us on too many occasions.  It seems that we have a real problem disrupting the flow on 5v5 once the opponent gets established in the zone.  Hopefully we take it to C-bus tonight. 

PS I wonder if the dumbass who threw his hat on Kuzy's way late empty netter feels like an idiot this morning.  Hope it wasn't a favorite hat.

Anyone know why Vrana looked the way he did after he scored?  Not his usual celebration.

Key issue here is lack of physical play. Odd thing is we can bring it when we want to, but for some reason in games like last night we seemed afraid of our own shadows and allowed the Kings to rule the ice. FFS, how many times did Orlov back COMPLETELY off a board battle for the puck seemingly afraid to hit or get hit by an opponent? The Kings had little or no reason to look over their shoulders. This improved for the last 25 minutes, but nowhere near what we are capable of. This has to end tonight or we are doomed. Tonight needs to be WAR!!!   I'm hoping maybe they were saving some up for the important game tonight against a top division rival.

He looked like he had a toothache or something.  Usually he's quite animated.

Just a guess Barf, but he had an issue last year with putting too much pressure on himself, similar to Bura’s issue. Trotz reset him and he has appeared to have it under control since, judging by his improved performance and play.
Since he was in a bit of a scoring rut before that goal, I believe his feeling of pressure release, (relief within himself), overrode the natural joy of scoring the goal!  If you notice after he scored, Oshie came over and appeared to console him a bit, (maybe something said that was reassuring), while also congratulating him.
Although it was subtle, I noticed Vrana different look after his goal also!
Just my two cents
