Ovechkin shot he should have had. Looked like he was cheating on a potential pass. He will learn that with shooters play the shot and if you get beat on the pass it does not look as bad as if you get beat on the shot.
Like his mobility and ease of movement in the crease. Definate potential.
Have to wonder if putting him in this game was to test him mentally as last year with the Bruins he got lit up 8-1 by the caps.
Wonder what him and Ovechkin were joking about on the long shot Vladar caught not long after the tying goal.

I liked his game. Sutter was fine with it as well, said he thought he was solid. Mentioned that the second and third were ones you may say you want to have but at the save time they are good shots.
Vladar basically said Ovechkin was trying to get in his head. Ovi was telling him things like “I’m shooting glove, I’m shooting glove” but then shooting blocker
