Good game, Habs finally got their legs under them in the 2nd, but that 1st period was hard to watch, as a habs fan at least. Burakovsky looks like the real deal, surprised Kuznetsov had such a small role, any particular reason?

Orpik was solid as well

Loved Burra, Orpik, Holtby & Brouwer. Good team D. Would prefer to see Kuzy as a 2nd line left wing. I think Trotz is just sending him a message right now

i wouldn't say Tokarski stood on his head all night. he did in the first, no doubt. but Montreal was the better team in the final 40 minutes and it was Holtby who had the tougher night from the second period on.

Fair enough, dont watch too many Caps games, but really like the direction they are going. Deep D core, even if you did have to overpay for it. Some real nice young guys coming as well, should be a good season in DC

The defense was good, but offense failed the Capitals as they coughed up a one goal lead late the 3rd period and lost in a shootout to the Montreal Canadiens in the season opener tonight.


Get ready..... no matter who you have on offense, this is Trotz's M.O.

Extending a one goal lead is a strict no no under Trotz.
