It didn't take the new Capitals team long to secure their first win of the new season on home ice. 1 game, 1 win. As for the on ice extraviganze itself, we were good again. It was another decent early season performance that put the points on the board. During the 1st period Hull had made a promising start. It was obvious that they have some smooth skaters on their squad and they created a few problems for the Caps. As the period worn on though we began to move up a few gears, we started to create real scoring chances. Something we hadn't done the night before. We rightly ended it in front with a 4-1 advantage after the first period. We saw some quality goals from Luza and Hemingway. I thought the 2nd was a little bit different. It was flat with no real flow to game thanks to the ref. The stop/start scrappy play of the game allowed Hull to claw their way back into the contest. The 'Rays already look like a hard working unit and they put up a good fight against us during the 2nd. The 3rd was more of the same really, we did extremely well killing off their penalties and then taking full advantage of our own power plays!. There were plenty of positive again for the Caps after the final hooter went. We were a strong unit for the majority of the match up.
We really could be on to something special this season!... fingers crossed!
Man of the match - Hat trick hero Patrik Luza!. That should take away some of his pain at Vsetín biting the dust this year!
