it still wasn’t an overall good game by the Caps, it was an amazing 45 seconds in the 2nd. the 3rd was really bad even considering they only had 5 Dmen

[ArJunaZ]

It was a good game. Rough start, but gave the Leafs nothing in the second and did well in third all things considered. 2 points is good.

[Mickstix]

Missed most of the 3rd.. What happened to Sig?? I see we gave up 1.. Nice W, all things considered..

Sigs and Panik collided at the end of the 2nd, shoulder/head to shoulder/head. neither player returned to the ice for the 3rd

[Mickstix]

Well sheeot..    Hope they're ok.

[zerofox]

Not bad, a win is a win. And considering the offensive firepower TOR has, 3 goals against is not a bad performance for Sammy. I say the kid deserves the next start too.

I was at the game and I thought it was the best home game I have seen them play this season.  It is never good to give up a shorty and Toronto’s second goal was poor play by Sigenthaler but overall I thought we carried the play.  We spent more time in our zone than theirs.  Likewise, we dominated the 2nd period.  The third period we hung on but I blame that on being down a defenseman.  We were basically playing with four defenseman, Lewington was getting minimal time.  He was having a hard time keeping up with Toronto’s speed.  Sure hope Kempny is ready to go Friday.  I have a bad feeling that Sigenthaler could be out for awhile. 


The new lines are interesting and I thought they looked pretty good.  Each line had an even stength goal and that is what you want to have, balanced scoring.  It is too bad Hagelin is not more of a scorer.  I am a little worried about the second line scoring wise.  Hopefully Wilson and Kuzy can provide the scoring.  Vrana will be the scoring threat on the third line and I liked Hathaway on that line. He has impressed me so far.  Of the three new forwards he has been the most productive.
