How bout them Caps?

[Maengelito]

I thought he was good but not great by any means. The Caps put up like 35 shots on net but how many of them were from just inside the blue line with nobody in front? Really that's what they struggled with last year and are struggling with this year as well. They don't have that Franzen or Hartnell type player who is just going to sit in front of the net all game, take a beating, but be there to screen the goalie and poke in rebounds. The closest thing they have to that is probably Laich.

They've struggled against the trap for a long time now. Its boring hockey but its what teams have done to the Caps to beat them. I'm not exactly optimistic about the series anymore but my tune could be completely different after tonight's game.
