Exciting game. Unfortunately it feels like a coin flip though.

1 to 1 after one, but the Caps played much better than that would indicate. It could easily be 3-0.
Except for faceoffs

#1 star tonight was Wilson
1st career 30 goal season
-
14 games for Ovi to score 8 goals.. Gonna be tough to make it happen this year.
-
yea, probably gonna need a hatty to get it done
Also probably would have already happened if it weren’t for the injury this season

Good game - solid overall and LT is back in top form.
Thought Sandin played well and even laid a hit on a guy. Chicky is starting to worry me a bit about being a puck hog - which normally I like. He seems to have fallen in love with skating around in with the puck and is not dishing it off when he should and comes close to giving up breakaways. Our problem has always been that our guys look to pass when they should be shooting, but Chychrun takes it a little too far sometimes. Still love the guy.
Now I want to nitpick on my favorite - PLD. He had a great game and without Willy scoring, he should have been first star. My only issue is that he needs to drop the gloves. He had a guy that he missed on a big check and the guy came after him right after that and PLD should have pounded him. I remember when PLD was in his first year or two and it seemed like he fought a fair amount and was a beast. I'll have to go back and see if any are on video.
-
Just googled PLD's three fights - he actually went with Cindy Crosby long ago - no much of a fight. He fought McAvoy and that was decent - maybe a draw. Then he fought Scott Mayfield and it was more of a wrestling match. So he rarely fights, but I think if you got him mad, he would do ok.

I guess that depends on where you stick the banana ;)

Congrats to Willy on 30 goals. He looked like his career might have been starting to wane last year so the bounce back is great news.
