Detroit played a great game last night. They were in a groove; played their system; and took it to us. At one point in the first period, I looked at the scoreboard and it said 15 shots vs. 2 shots and the score was tied 0-0.
Jose Theodore was stellar. He played with great confidence. He stole that game for us. Kudos. Atta boy. Way to go.
We won over a very dangerous Detroit team 3-2. It was a game that I thought we didn’t deserve to win. But we have reached that point now in our development. We don’t play as well as our capabilities and we can still beat a fantastic opponent. Everyone chips in and we get the two points. We have beaten Philly and Detroit back to back and now we go play Pittsburgh. I don’t ever remember a more competitive three game stretch since we bought the team 11 years ago.
Our fourth line was just awesome. Bradley and Steckel played the game with playoff-like intensity.
But it was our goaltending that was the highlight of the game. Jose Theodore played lights out.
He truly stole the win for us. Thank you. Go Caps!
We now have 68 points - first in the East and third in the NHL.
