Looking back on yesterdays game. I thought we did well.
But let me know what you all think? I think a huge flaw got exposed on the Ducks.
The Kessler line was amazing. Just shut down Ovechkin until late in the game. Really, that line is the unsung heroes of the team, because what they do doesn't show up in the goals/assists/points.
The huge hole in the Ducks is, if a team, and there are very few of them, has 2 very good lines. Because it seemed like the second line of the Capitals were having their way with us. It only showed up as one goal on the score sheet, but we all saw that swarming that they were doing.
There is just a huge difference in mentality and skill in d between current Getzlaf and Perry line and the Kessler line. And the Capitals I thought really exposed that. It's great when the Getzlaf and Perry lines can play offense. But the moment they get put on their heels, it becomes a wide open shootout in a very bad way.
IMO, if the Ducks want to win the entire thing, that's something that needs to be addressed. Because I think it's going to catch up and bite us come playoff time.
