I watched the game on about 2 hour delay, so couldn't join the board party.
Boys looked good I thought. After the first 10 minute onslaught anyway. Figured the BLues would bring it being in their barn and the cup thingy and all. Honestly I figured us for a loss in this one.
Seems the Caps are playing a more aggressive play, which I like. Might get burnt here and there because of it, but definitely seem to be on the attack more. I was a bit worried that will fade once the roster settles in and everyone has a job. The youngins at camp were trying to earn a spot so you figure they would put in the effort.
Time will tell, but I like what we've seen so far. Jake looked good. Ovi looked good. Hell, everyone looked pretty good. If Jake and Willy live up to what they could be, this could be an exciting year. Stepho looked good I thought too.
One more thing, with the roster moves we've made, our penalty kill should certainly be better than last year. We have so many guys who are/can be good PK guys.
I was shocked to hear two of the NBC talking heads pick the Caps for winning the East? Didn't think they garnered that much respect.
Good Game.
Go Caps
