Result:
3-2 SO Caps Win
My Player of the Game:
Semyon Varlamov
22 Saves
3 SO Saves
It was a tough one since Ovechkin did all the scoring for the Caps but I'm a goalie so I'll side with him.
Thoughts:
Ugly win tonight. The PP was too fast and loose and we relied far too much on Varly to pull out some great saves. That said he did let through a softie but made up for it in the third period, OT and the SO. The PP scored again and the PK didn't look bad. I've said it once and I'll say it again, you can't play D from behind.
Let's get Ovie off the blue line on the PP. Semin has a very dangerous long range shot and can D-up better than Ovechkin. Just my thoughts.
Caps Homework:
Once again, DON'T PLAY DEFENSE FROM BEHIND.

I don't think it was an uly win. I thought they played with great passion, especially in the 3rd. That was a level of intensity I havent seen much since the season started. It was a great game to be at.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, Kris!
@April, I can't call give up 2 breakaway's on a PP a good win. They setteled down in the 3rd but the bottom line is we should have never gone to OT and a shootout with that team. If we are an elite team that should have been an easy win.
