Ask and you shall receive, Mick.
The Caps played last night, and traveled. The Canadians are in the middle of a homestead, and didn't play last night.
The Habs went up 2-0 before the Caps got their legs.
And then the game turned in the 3rd, just as Mick asked for. And it wasn't a fluke. The Caps took over play, except for the last minute PK where the Habs got a few shots. But before that they had NO ANSWER.
This is a type of statement game, admittedly not against the best opponent, but definitely a trap game as Mick mentioned. It gives a glimpse of how good and how resilient this team can be/is becoming. Good on Wilson for leading the way with a swollen face, and I bet a headache as well.
-
three stars of the game..
3: Dubois
2: Thompson
1: Wilson

Gutsy game by Willy. Thompson might end up being the best of a bunch of real nice acquisitions.
