Yes he sure was. Mea culpa as I’ve been calling for his trade. If we can get this a Holtby consistently, we are in far better shapeHoltby was fantastic.

With many intradivisional games 8 points is a lot. They should be able to put more effort in and stay in top-8 with any coaching. By talent alone. Im not worried.The playoffs is still no guarantee. If we lost yesterday we were potentially 8 points from being out of the playoff hunt, while getting manhandled by Metro opponents of late.

edit — I think Trotz made a WCF once there along the way, maybe 10yrs in. I cannot remember
I guess I am unclear on what kind of movement you are looking for.
Schmidt had a much better outlet pass than Jensen, and he made faster decisions with the puck.1. Jensen reminds me of the Caps version of Nate Schmidt. He could skate the like the wind and push the puck and then nothing ever happened. His shot looked good but never went in.

I totally disagree about his shot though, he has one of the worst NHL-level shots I've seen. It didn't just not go in, it was both slow and inaccurate. Jensen doesn't have a cannon, but anyone is better than Nate in the shot department.
let’s just drop it....feels like you’re playing dumb for entertainment.

Good to hear it wasn't just the highlights. Moving in the right direction having Holtby mentally work through 2 goals that he was hung out on.Yes he sure was. Mea culpa as I’ve been calling for his trade. If we can get this a Holtby consistently, we are in far better shape

Watching the game this afternoon, and one thing I really liked about the 1st Caps' PP goal is a skater on the left side of the crease - if the Caps can get one defender on that side, that defender has to decide between covering Ovechkin in the office or the Caps' forward at the left side of the crease - in this case the D was Ian Cole, and he took Ovechkin - leaving Backstrom free for the tap-in.
That's a good way to counter teams over-playing Ovechkin.
They had already used that disposal in the past except that lefty at the net mouth was MojoWatching the game this afternoon, and one thing I really liked about the 1st Caps' PP goal is a skater on the left side of the crease - if the Caps can get one defender on that side, that defender has to decide between covering Ovechkin in the office or the Caps' forward at the left side of the crease - in this case the D was Ian Cole, and he took Ovechkin - leaving Backstrom free for the tap-in.
