There is a lot to like about Capitals Coach Bruce Boudreau, winner, makes great commercials, and does not have a post game filter. Here was his thoughts on his teams defesive efforts and goaltending after a 6-5 loss to the Ottawa Senators, "It was an ugly display," a furious Boudreau said. "I thought our defense was horrible and our goaltending was horrible. You're not going to win when you give up six goals and maybe five of them are bad ones and our 'D' can't make a play. It's awful."
So Coach what did you Really think of Goalie Semyon Varlamov's return to the ice?
"I don't think he was ready to play," Boudreau said. "He knew he was going to play. He's had 12 days of practice and a game [in the minor leagues] under his belt. It's his responsibility to be ready."
And there is more...."When you say, he's rusty, it's an excuse," he added. "And excuses aren't tolerated. The puck's going through his legs? He's been making that save since he was seven years old."
Wow..no need to panic obviously 14-straight W's and a pair of losses is a good trade off for any team, but the manner of the two losses has raised some red flags on the Red's biggest concern going into the season..Defense/Goaltending. They have surrendered 23 goals in the past five games after allowing 7 in the five games before that. Defense, Goaltending, and health are the three biggest factors for the Caps hopes of raising Lord Stanley's Cup. The first two may have to be addressed before the trading deadline and the latter they have no control over.
