My Thoughts:
*First off the officiating was terrible on 2 calls. First, Braden Holtby simply fell and the Red Wings scored on it but they called a phantom interference penalty. Then late in the third period Darren Helm clearly dove but they called a trip on Joel Ward that lead to a goal and finished the Caps.
*The Caps fast start has now turned into just an average one after losing 3 of the last 4.
*For the first time in his career Alex Ovechkin has gone pointless for 5 straight games. Rumor on Twitter is that he was receiving some type of treatment after the game. Hurt or not he needs to work himself out of it.
*On a positive note Evgeny Kuznetsov finally got his first goal on a beautiful break away set up but Joel Ward and Braden Holtby.
*Andre Burakovsky had an assist but his turnover early in the 3rd changed the game, rookie moment because he has been pretty good.
*I said before this game the Caps had to watch their turnovers, well the reason they lost was because of turnovers.
*The Caps are hitting an early season rut, they have back to back games this weekend that I believe is critical. I know it's early but in the Metropolitan Division every game and point is important.
