Some observations of a brutal loss putting the Caps back in the hot seat.
Zdeno Chara who scored the winning goal is an outright beast at 6’9″ 255. He just towered over every player on the ice.
It was definitely won of the better hockey games I have been to. Niklas Backstrom makes a huge difference in this squad. Because of a late major foul, he is subject to one game suspension. His absence would ruin the Caps chances of advancing.
Ovie and Brooks Laich led the offense along with Backstrom. The Caps are pretty general with assists. I have to study game film to review that.
Game 4 is Thursday night at 730.

BOSTON’S LAST GOAL WAS DEFLECTED OFF A CAPS STICK. HOLTBY PLAYED WELL.
