Last week, Barry Trotz called Jay Beagle “Mr. Fix It,” insinuating that the Canadian was the team’s solution when things are dire.
That confuses me, but so does this incredible pass Beagle made to give Daniel Winnik his fourth goal of the season.
The Washington Capitals’ season wasn’t a minute old before the goals began. Kicking off the season was Andre Burakovsky, assisted by his similarly Swedish teammate, Nicklas Backstrom.
You will like this. It’s way better than summer.
Magic man Evgeny Kuznetsov just had another one of Those Assists. The kind where you just stare at your TV or computer screen and go how did he do that?
Kuznetsov’s latest golden apple was this no-look, backhanded, sauce pass to Tom Wilson while going against the grain behind the net. It was the easiest goal of Wilson’s career.
When the Caps went on the power play in the second period, Braden Holtby showed off another part of his game that we adore: his offense. After an Oiler shot a puck on net, Holtby gloved the puck out of the air, threw it to the ice, and chucked a 110-foot pass to Troy Brouwer at the opposing blue line.
Dude wanted his seventh career assist.
