Puddin_An_Semin, I will def be a frequent buyer of your Tums. Fridays game was horrible and the blame can’t totally be placed on the goalies. The whole team needs to step up and play some D. Having said that last nights win was awesome, however everytime Chicago got close to our crease I held my breath waiting for the D to clear the zone. Im not ready to give up on the team just yet. The talent is there. I just hope that the goaltenders and D men hurry up and learn eachothers style of play before to much damage is done. Lets see what happens on Monday.

this is ridiculous: 2 games in and some Caps fans have already blown all 4 wheels. I agree with someone who earlier said they expect more from OFB. drink som,e beer, or something.

Trade for Khabibulin. He’s a Stanley Cup-winning Russian and the perfect mentor for Varlamov. Khabibulin/Varlamov is a combo we can be happy with. Theodore/Johnson spells disaster.

Great comments — I learn a lot from this blog. I agree that it probably would take time for the new goalie to get used to the team, but I hope neither he nor the others become accustomed to the way they played last night! Sometimes, they looked like tourists. They have played pretty well in the preseason, they know what to do. Perhaps it was just a temporary identity crisis. In their first game of the long season, they were no longer the Cinderella story of last year, and now they need a new symbolic myth or fairy tale to believe in, hopefully one that Theodore can believe in too. I hope the audience tonight is supportive. It’s bad enough that we don’t have Kolzig, and that he made 37 wonderful saves that were wasted on a Bolts team that also played like a bunch of tourists, and lost their opener. It’s hard to let go of the past and hard not to whine in fear about the future, but we Caps fans, we are known for our patience.

He’ll get better…I hope.

If we made the playoffs last year with Kolzig starting most of the season, then we can make the playoffs with Theodore. Hopefully by the end of the season Varlamov will be ready if Theodore is still struggling. Or perhaps we can trade for Khabibulin.

Does anyone know if Jim Carey is available? If not, what about Jim Carrey? Either one would have exceeded the minor league performance we saw in Atlanta. Captain, is that an iceberg up ahead?

pucks: I am in the camp that it's way too early to say the sky is falling. While Theodore's career has been inconsistent, lets not forget those 443 games include a Veznia and a Hart Trophy. I thought the whole team could have played better and there was a more then enough early season lack of chemistry to go around. Hopefully, we'll see a different team tonight. LETS GO CAPS!!!!!
