Morning Skate: Rough stuff

Thursday! That certainly was an entertaining game last night, eh?

A few goals, a few big saves, some questionable stickwork, some anger...something for everyone!

Last night’s game is one of those that should be a good litmus test for this year’s condensed schedule.

The game featured plenty of heat, and with the same two teams getting right back at it tomorrow, there hasn’t exactly been a ton of time for things to cool down.

What Mad Lad thing will Trent Frederic do this time? Only time will tell.

Overall, a pretty decent hockey game last night though. The Bruins took some time to get going, but it certainly wasn’t a horrendous effort.

Tuukka Rask was spectacular, but the move by Jakub Vrana in the shootout was just a tiny bit more spectacular.

One thing that stood out: the Bruins were a mess during overtime.

There were at least two horrific line changes that led directly to Caps chances, along with a number of other sloppy plays. Ultimately, it didn’t cost them, but...something to work on.

What’s on tap for today?
