I have to give the boys credit for trying to storm back into the game. Almost got it too if it weren't for the offsides call.
Sammy put up a hell of a fight in relief of Holeby. Is this enough to convince the coaching staff to at least keep going with him as the hot hand for now?
I can't pin the loss entirely on Holts, but if Sammy were in net not letting up 3 goals in 3 shots we'd have a better fight on our hands. Holts is on the decline and we really need to give the youngster some more reps in net. A 30 year old goalie on the decline is not our future. A young kid who has been solid in his first few NHL outings with potential to grow could be that future.

The next several games is gonna show what Rierdon is capable of, and hopefully Ted is capable of seeing it too

"Reirden" and "capable" are two words that shouldn't be in the same sentence.
Tacker:
Clearly, the Caps are capable of playing a shut-down, physical game and dominating opponents, as we saw in the first two games. Their biggest problem is Reirden, a soft-touch coach ill suited for this veteran team that needs a tough voice to keep them focused and playing hockey. Terrible mistake letting Trotz walk. They're going nowhere as long as this guy is at the helm. (They have the same problem in Tampa, where Cooper is a mild-mannered guy, who just stands there while his team is lollygagging around out on the ice, playing pretty-boy hockey.) Read the recent article on Brind'Amour and you'll understand why Carolina is in first place and plays a hard-nosed game.
