Washington Capitals 2010-2011 ongoing thread

Hot damn boys we're going streaking. At this rate we might get a 1 seed for the playoffs. Our reward, a possible match-up against the leagues hottest team.

Well on the plus side the death march is over after the Flyers game. I think after this Tuesday's game the only real tough opponent remaining is Montreal. The thing that worries me is if they stay in that 2nd place East slot is the fact that they're on a collision course with a team that has not only beaten them 14-1 in their last 3 meetings but also did that beating all 3 goalies. Originally I was more worried about New Jersey but it seems like we match up well with them. The Rangers on the other hand just seem like they could give us an Eastern conference Finals type match in the first round.

So does anyone know who should start in net for the Caps? I keep on trying to avoid it but it's looking more and more like Holtby should get the nod. 10-2-2 .934 SV% and 1.79 GAA. 2 full game shut outs and 1 where he came in midway through the first period.

I don't know what it is about Varly but the more I see of Neuvy and Holtby the more I think that's where our future is at. Varly scares me sometimes with his inconsistency, it's like one minute he makes an amazing save and the next he gives up a goal that looks so easy.

As far as the playoffs go, I think we are going to go with Neuvy in net. Varly's inconsistency is too much and I don't think they want to throw Holtby into the playoff atmosphere just yet.

wow,what a game last night! neuvy looked shaky the entire game. i'm not completely comfortable with him playing goalie in the playoffs. caps were down 4-3 with under 2 minutes left in regulation so they pulled neuvy to make it 6 on 5, then they were awarded a power play. now it's 6 on 4, jason arnott scores the caps goal with under 1 minute left to make it 4-4. over time was ovie time. the great 8 put the gwg in the net!!

Yeah I kinda think Holtby should be the guy, too. Varly and Neuvy are just so darn inconsistent. It's really frustrating. Granted Holtby's sample size isn't very large, but he's been nothing short of outstanding. Go with the hottest hand.

This here's a great video.
