Caps vs. Thrashers 10/29/09

Result:

4-2 Caps Win

My Player of the Game:

Alexander Ovechkin

2 Goals
1 Assist

Wow, I just realized this is the first time I'm made "Alex the Great" my player of the game. What can I say he earned it today doing what he does best, creating opportunities. Yes he was cheating the zone and dropping out of the play to get break aways but that's what he's here for.

Thoughts:

Strong game, I really don't have much to say on it today. We have been playing better defense of late. We have allowed 2 or fewer goals in 5 of the last 6 games. That being said we still let up late in the game and allowed 41 shots. At least 2 of thoes games all the credit should go to the goalies (this game included). I'm not going to harp on it too bad though because we are letting up with a good lead (3-0) tonight. It's something we need to fix by the playoffs but for now...In Bruce we trust.

Caps Homework:

We need better defense on the PK.
