Holtby saved the Caps and helped them to beat the Bruins no doubt, but lets say the Rangers score 4 in Game 2, I might go back to Neuvirth in Game 3. Hopefully Holtby bounces back, but he was shaky in Game 7 in Boston and pretty bad today.
Holtby may have been bad solely off of not being tested enough. 14 shots for the whole game, and 8 after 2 full periods.
I thought that too. Bruins were putting 30, sometimes 40+ shots on him a game, then Rangers only put up 14. Could have played a factor. Yeah, I think so. And that is nice.
thus my overzealous celebrating, which is really not overzealous, awfully happy with this win though, and it is imperative that the Rangers win game 2. Let them rest tomorrow Torts, watch film and let them get their legs back.
Yep. Vokoun and Neuvy got hurt right before the playoffs. Caps lost Game 1 in Boston too, so hopefully they can get back in this series. I worry about Lundqvist though. He is a beast.
Hunter definitely has them on the upswing, you have to play tighter checking nowadays, run and gun is over, you have to play quality defense to win...
Richards goal totally reminded me of gaborik's goal in game one against the Sens. Same route to the goal, just on the other side. Very similar. Man it feels good today!
blahblahblah how many times have we heard this this season? always the same shit..im so sick of the word "outplayed"
