So it is a good point. Who are we to argue?
We played very short-handed again with seven players out in a back to back game in Toronto at their home rink last night. We tied in regulation and in OT; we lost in the shootout to gain one point.
Our goaltender was outstanding last night. He deserved a better fate. Sometimes I enjoy the shootout and sometimes I loathe it. Guess how I felt last night?
We now have 31 points. We remain in first place in the East. We have played the same amount of games as the Pens who have 30 points. Both teams have played 23 games to date as the season is flying by.
We are battling though injuries and we are tired.
But we have no excuses. We have to keep playing well on the road and be productive. We play 4 games in 6 nights. We can’t feel sorry for ourselves.
This is a tough stretch. It is good to get some many players ice time in the NHL but we need to keep up the productivity of garnering points and playing well short-handed.
Onward. Go Caps!
