Joe B was on 106.7 this afternoon, he still thinks very highly of Holts and thinks he’ll turn this around fairly quickly. Joe B also said the results thus far are not unexpected given the new guys and opponents so far

Again....watched the game last night...watch the Dallas game then immediately this one. Not a great idea. Talk about Dr Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde..
Holtby - OOH FAH. 3 goals on 3 shots. Holy cow. I can't say I would have pulled him before the third goal, but....OOH FAH.
Sammy looking good - gonna get more starts. I can't really see give him all the starts until "holtby earns them". But I would make it 50/50 anyway and see who plays better.
Also, have to consider the opponent. It's not all on the net minder. YOu give Sammy Dallas and Holtby Colorado....not exactly a fair comparison.
I'm really not all that twisted over Holtby....sort of counting his chicken as already hatched elsewhere. He's just making that decision easier. Can you imagine paying $10m for him? I could see the Caps doing it (cause that's what they do...overpay guys based on their hype value), but if he has a shit year - or even an average year.....let someone else pay him.
Got to see that Samsonov can actually do it though. He's looked good so far, but it's only been a few games, and the Caps have played better in front of him, and against weaker teams.
I certainly think Samsonov has played better thus far this year, but need some more games to really see how he will fare in the long run.
Go Caps

Imo, Holtby will be the starter until/unless he REALLY starts fucking up.. Like, he already has, but you know what I mean.. Only 6 games in. But a couple more shellings and who knows. They seem to give their vets a pretty long leash. Hope he snaps out of it.
