Hopefully Ovie can put the Olympic debacle behind him and refocus on the NHL and the run for the Cup starting tonight. Caps go up against the Sabres and U.S. team goalie and Olympic hockey best player Ryan Miller. Looking forward to seeing the Caps after the extended break.
Caps picked up 36 year old F Scott Walker from the Hurricanes for a 7th round pick. Don't know the guy and not sure why he was brought in. He doesn't have great offensive numbers and he doesn't seem like a big guy so he doesn't seem like a goal scorer or enforcer type. Also, I think he is coming off of injury. The only thing I can think of is that he provides this young team some veteran presence. Even that though is a question because I don't think he has tons of playoff experience. Whatever, McPhee has done a tremendous job building this team so who am I to question his decisions?
Another issue over the next few weeks as we near the playoffs will be identifying the #1 goalie. Every contender is set with their #1. Whether it is Brodeur or Lundqvist or Miller or Andre-Fleury. We need to settle on that. I think they want Varly but need to make sure he is healthy. Hopefully he proves himself and earns that spot in the coming weeks. Playoffs are around the corner.
LET'S GO CAPS!!!!
