Although the Caps played a flat game against the
Edmonton Oilers, there are still positives signs from the team in
the last several games, but
Barry Trotz
needs to get them back to playing like the first period against Montreal to
start the season.
Alex Ovechkin
played a lackluster game in Edmonton, which typically means the Caps struggle.
They lost 2-3, but still showed unbelievable cycling on the power play and
forechecking, not typical strengths of this team.
Right now, I'm more interested in Ovie's quotes in recent interviews
and Trotz's early assessments of his star winger than the Caps struggles these
past two games. Those issues are surmountable. Watching the Caps play under an
experienced NHL head coach is such an improvement over the last several seasons
that I believe Trotz can right the ship when they start looking like last
year's Caps.
Let's go Caps!
