Soooo we watched the Caps first preseason game against the New Jersey Devils On Monday. We were less then impressed but then again, it wasn’t the full roster so we aren’t worried. Except maybe about those refs and their quick whistles on the faceoff.
Our favorite moments today:

What you are thinking about the Caps:
29 had an opportunity to shine ln. Has to be MUCH better. Got burned a few times. AHL success doesn't mean success at the elite level. #Caps

Well. Preseason. And the #caps sure looked it. Oh well.

#CapsDevils #Caps Great- Nathan Walker, Good -(surprisingly) Luke Johansen, Underwhelming – Djoos (& Carlson). Yay hockey!
