TJ Oshie and Jakub Vrana tally two goals apiece as Caps take down Hurricanes in rather rough preseason finale

The final preseason game has come and gone (thankfully) and your Washington Capitals won it against their most recent postseason foe, the Carolina Hurricanes.

Your Caps goal scorers were Turbulent Jupiter Oshie, Jake the Snake Rober…Vrana, TonkaTruck Johnson Oshie once more, and Jakbub Vrana once more.

TJ Oshie goal, 1-1

Jakub Vrana goal, 2-1

TJ Oshie goal, 3-1

Jakub Vrana goal, 4-2

Additional notes

  • Carolina has a very “OHHH” type crowd (I know you know what I mean) and it annoys me endlessly.
  • Beautiful assist from Evgeny Kuznetsov on the Jakub Vrana goal. That was pretty much the only real pretty highlight.
  • Radko Gudas is good at hockey. Who woulda thought.
  • The Canes did some rather stupid, illegal hockey things in this game. Brock McGinn‘s headshot on Mike Sgarbossa the worst of it.
  • Tom Wilson got a ten minute misconduct for being mad because Tim Peel is not good at his job. No, he did not shove an official and no he was not ejected.
