Holtby is playing very well so far. Amazing the Washington traded away a started, then got a hurt starter, then a hurt backup, and they STILL have this guy to play
Holtby got to play late in the season last year and really acquitted himself well. That's why I was a little surprised that they went after Vokoun. Glad to see him getting a chance to showcase his wares, even if it's due to injuries.

I'm imagining if Rinne and Lindback both went down with injuries....i think we'd be quite a bit worse off

Watched lots of Caps last year, Holtby did show promise back then. I think they preferred letting Holtby get more experience in the AHL before throwing him in. Hershey is a great development org for them.
So I am not shocked he is performing well, but they pressure from Bruins has been big. Good game to watch thusfar.
3. I think we have a better chance of beating the Sharks than the BLues
4. A 7 game series against the Blues would really get some ill feelings and bad blood going between these two fan bases. Could be fun. But makes me nervous.
Four of eight top seeds held home ice through game one. One of those four lost it in game two ... the rest haven't played a second game yet. The elite Pens have blown 3-1 leads twice in their 4/5 matchup. The President's Trophy winning Canucks can't score a PPG and are lost two at home against the #8 seed.
There are no easy matchups and ours is going as expected ... a dogfight where one bounce can cost a game. On to game three.
