Vid min observation var Tucker-/Sutherbyslagsmål jämnt, med Tucker som landar tidig sort för två stora shots och Sutherby som landar 3 eller 4 tillbaka mer sistnämnd, med mindre bak dem. The Brashear/Belak fracas had a similar result, with Belak getting some shots in early, but Brashear getting his helmet off and getting several shots in as well. Slight advantage to Brashear in the set-to, as it looked like Belak was bloodied in the encounter.
  • Dainius Zubrus’ goal was a beaut, and Locker brought up a good point: if you try to pull that off, you just know you are going to get clocked. Zubrus did, by McCabe, but what a pretty goal. All three of the Caps’ tallies tonight were aesthetic-friendly.

    • A spirited contest when both teams woke up. Good to go into the break with a win, and happy holidays to everyone out in hockeyland.

      for some reason, they didn’t blackout HNIC on the Center Ice package, so I got to watch the CBC feed.

      During Coach’s Corner, Grapes compared Ovie to Orr (which is high praise from him indeed) and said he is on borrowed time for getting one big nasty hit (they showed clips of him missing two big checks tonight). He also said he was the second best young player in the game. Not behind the Kid, but his teammate Jordan Staal, who grapes just loves to death. He is always showing staal’s SH goals on the show.

      great game tonight too.

      I still don’t understand why Mike Green gets only 17 minutes of ice time a night, especially given your point about Pothier. I wish Tarik/Dave/Eric would ask Hanlon about this and share the answer with us.

      ….and Semin wasn’t even one of the three game stars. Go figure.
      As for Klepis, he appeared to have a ball & chain attached. Leafs were blowing by him.
      Great to avenge the Thanksgiving butt kicking right before Christmas.

      Merry Christmas all!!!!

      Boy, it was a great game- and even better in person. I was pleased to see a few other Caps fans there as well.
