The Caps needed an effort like this. So did Vanecek.
I liked Ovi's effort on the Vrana goal. He didnt get a point on the goal but it was his backcheck that made that happen.

I think DC was using his reverse psychosis this game... :sick:
Eller has the best face off percentage on the team at like 56%
DC called out Sheary and Panik early on and they were both involved in the scoring.
Panik works really hard, but man he does have hands of stone when it comes to scoring a goal. He did make a nice (or lucky) pass to Eller though. He also made that pass to Sheary for G1. Plus Panik does forecheck and hit guys and plays physical. I was disappointed they didn't move him in the offseason, but he's okay as a 3rd/4th line guy and he's got good size and plays hard. (DC just hates anyone from Europe) ;)
Keep it up DC. It's working 8)

Pretty good effort all around. Nice to see Vitek get the 1st star - he played well. Too bad on the shutout. I thought that might have been GT interference (well it was) but the guy was pushed in (a bit)
It definitely prevented Vitek from making a play. I went back and looked at it and Shultz kind of slew foot the guy down and he went right into the goalie. When I first saw it live I thought the guy kind of went down too easy and intentionally went skates first into Vitek.
Orlov did the smart thing but not retaliating, but.....opening a can of whoop-ass would pay long term dividends later. I would have rather seen instant (and overwhelming) payback, but I don't fault him for being smart and he's really not that guy. He checks hard, but he's no tough guy. Too bad Dillon or Hathy weren't on the ice then.
Eller had a good game...almost scored a shortie....I went back and looked at that and the goalie just barely got the pad on that shot. Panik had two assists and played well. Hathy always works hard and that checking line is great, but man they need someone to just have some touch. Still....as long as they are circling in the offensive zone, the Hens (who whomever) can't score.
Looked like the whole team played a little harder and hustled (for nearly 60 full minutes). Nice to see.
Go Caps

I didn't watch, does this mean I can no longer watch the Caps?
