Should be multiple wrap-around goals against us, but he's gotten lucky a couple times. Probably just early season issues and needs to warm up, but something to keep an eye on 100% other teams will be testing wraparounds. He did look slow to react to pucks behind the net. They mentioned it but he should be playing closer to the ice rather than moving across up on his skates. Having said that, 3 of the goals were on bad defense in front of him. Also, teams will test the PK getting the puck low and looking across the front of the net. Gotta clean up D assignments. Thought Chara played well. I did forget that they didn't play a preseason game did they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like they started to tighten up on D after that early third period goal. I was gonna comment on what good defense they were playing right before the Wilson falls down and they get the 4th goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 It looked to me that the Caps could dominate when they wanted to, but did not put together a full game. Got up 4-1 then immediately let the Sabres get to within 1. That Vrana goal ended up really bailing them out. Overall they looked better than I expected given a new coach, a handful of new faces and no preseason games, but also the Sabres aren't very good aside from a few guys. Hopefully we learn more tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
