It's preseason, nothing to get an aneurysm over. We'll have 82 games to call the sky falling.

It's just been an ugly game tonight. Not a lot of effective support. Poor transition execution. Disorganized in the defensive zone.

It's the preseason so a lot of that is to be expected, but it's a good reminder that this team still needs to play effectively as a team to win. They're not just going to improvise their way to wins on individual efforts.

If we are just gonna hit and fight tonight...and not worry about scoring...then do it well. Wreck Tom Wilson and do the Eastern Conference a favor.

So just before the Bortuzzo fight with Wilson, I saw Tarasenko on a near breakaway - on the PK... Is this something new for this pre-season, or have I just glossed over 91 playing time on the PK?

Love the Caps announcers pontificating about late hits in the preseason, etc. etc.

Ahem...Tom Wilson Caps announcers. Heard of him?

Tarasenko did play PK couple season back. Hitch wanted to him learn how to play defense.-

I honestly don't think it has been that ugly of game. The 3rd period has been pretty bad but over the first 2 I thought the Blues played quite well but Copley just shut us down.

"Both guys trying to establish position in front" -Caps color

Sure...But Petro was doing it legally.
