Got home from work to watch the Hawk/Cap game on DVR...

'Hawks Offense got it done...Even Strength D...Pretty good...BUT...I have seen some passive Box PKs...I have NEVER seen an "IMMOBILE BOX"! It was like 4 pylons and no puck pressure vs. Last year's best PP...Crawford had little chance Our guys were stellar in transition, solid on the forecheck, and craptastic in the dot.

Good for Bollig, getting his 1st goal to get a season started.

I still have no idea, and neither does Holtby, according to DC media, how Oduya's weak-a@@ shot got to the back of the net for the GWG.

And in 50 years of watching hockey, I can't recall seeing a ref with the balls to call the automatic goal on the empty net takedown...they usually wimp out and just send the guy to the box.

Happy to see Frolik get a good start with the Jets...he was kind of buried on the 4th line in Chi, but was a good soldier and made himself a valuable piece of the 'Hawk PK. Frolik was key in setting up Bolland's Cup clinching goal last year.

Good luck to your Flames Flame Fans
