holtby had his moments last year...they called him up mid-season this year just to try to spark the team, but he didn't have a great showing then actually. kids got a ton of talent. he's experienced post-season play with hershey...and he's a reason why varly went to colorado, we had several good young goalies, and he wanted the guarantee of #1 and the money to go with it. but he, neuvy and even holtby had times where they showed their youth all too much.

holtby has done very, very well-but i think he's also gotten a lot of help with the great D that the caps have been exhibiting. i look forward to watching his career unfold.
neuvirth probably curses marco sturm daily.


killing that double minor was huge for this team tonite. already feeling good, that only adds to their momentum.
