Postgame Recap: Canucks 4 Caps 3

 The Caps fell behind and tried to come back, however a Daniel Sedin powerplay goal in the third period would be too much for the Caps to overcome. With the loss the Caps are sitting at .500. Here are the highlights.


Caps/Canucks:

My Thoughts:

*John Carlson scored 2 goals and had an assist. For Carlson that would be his first multi-goal game in his NHL career.

*Brooks Laich scored his first goal of the season on a beautiful move to tie the game in the third.

*The Sedin twins were too much for the Caps tonight. Those two controlled the game when they were on the ice. I was at the game and it was impressive to watch them in person.

*The Caps PK was not impressive. The Canucks connected on 3 powerplays which at the end of the day would be the reason the Caps would loss yet again.

*Braden Holtby was a mixed bag, I felt like he played ok. The last goal he should have had in my opinion but he didn't play horrible but not great either.

*The Caps second line I think didn't do much. Johansson had one chance but other than that they over passed the puck.

*The defense as a whole needs to step their game up a notch.

*Overall I feel like team needs more energy. At times last night the team looked energetic, but they seemed like zombies in the first period. This team needs to find their way before it gets too late this season.
