Caps vs. Flyers 10/27/09

Let's see if I can get back into the swing of things after some time off.

Result:

4-2 Caps Win

My Player of the Game:

Jose Theodore

41 Saves

I know what you're thinking and I thought hard about giving this to Backstrom's 4 point night. However, Theo came up big when it counted and when the Flyers were pouring on not just shots, but solid shots. Theo gets my vote.

Thoughts:
With the exception of about 4 min. to start the second period i saw a solid game. No there wasn't any secondary scoring (you won't believe I'm saying this) but it doesn't always matter. Look we all know I'm big on secondary scoring but the top line is the top line for a reason. The secondary lines still had a good game keeping up intensity and a strong fore-check.

I know I already said it under the player of the game but great game for Theo. More games like that and maybe our goal tending will finally get some respect.


Caps Homework:

Still a few unnecessary penalties late in the game with a lead.
