If holtby is this good, why the **** was he in the minors all season?

because some guy named vokoun convinced the caps office he could take us to the promised land.
holtby had his moments last year...they called him up mid-season this year just to try to spark the team, but he didn't have a great showing then actually. kids got a ton of talent. he's experienced post-season play with hershey...and he's a reason why varly went to colorado, we had several good young goalies, and he wanted the guarantee of #1 and the money to go with it. but he, neuvy and even holtby had times where they showed their youth all too much.

holtby has done very, very well-but i think he's also gotten a lot of help with the great D that the caps have been exhibiting. i look forward to watching his career unfold.
neuvirth probably curses marco sturm daily.


killing that double minor was huge for this team tonite. already feeling good, that only adds to their momentum.

Don't get me wrong, it's very good. But he does embellish every save.

not so sure that it's embellishment. he tends to go after the puck rather than let it come to the glove, so it does look a bit different than with some goalies. i doubt kolzig will try to make him change it tho. if it ain't broke and all that.

well, darn. was hoping he'd get his first playoff shutout.

need more of the same saturday night.

No problem, you sure you only need 2?

Lunqvist has lost two playoffs series to the Caps where the Caps had a rookie goaltender in net. Will this series be the third?

FTFY

You can point blame on a lot of people on that team, Number 30 is not one of them.

I'm sorry, you didn't specify that. But, forget the glass, you could have sat on the damn bench at the mausoleum.

I will look into it, for $200 I could probably find you a view on the glass like this.



But I do gaurentee that you will be within 3 blocks of the Garden, you know what better make that 9 blocks................................
