I thought the Caps played pretty well actually.  They were skating and passing well.  Goal tending was suspect.  Vitek is campaigning to be the #2 I think.  :smirk:
One was an outright gift....the second was kind of flukey - not sure how that snuck in cause he appeared to be pretty tight on that post.  Regardless - you can't let those sneak in.
The third even though unscreened was a wicked shot placement, well placed from top of the circle.  I'm not too upset by that, but on a night where you personally gave them 2, you need to steal a couple back.


ON the gift in the 1st couple minutes.....WTF was Carlson doing?  he moved away from Vitek and gave the opponent direct line to the net and puck.  I mean it was Viteks fault, but Mr Norris was bystanding at best


Ovie looked good.  Kuzy looked really good.  Sprong looked great.  Sprong's play led directly to two of our goals.
Sprong kid really does have some wheels and he looked good with Ovie.  Sprong has the wheels and apparently hustle to go and fetch and Kuzy as a set up guy made a pretty good trio.  Spronger has that wicked release too.


Go Caps
