Adam Gretz was wrong

 I just hope he'll put in the video of Great Eight's defensive effort against Simon Gagne and say something about it. Do you remember the movie "A fish called Wanda" Adam? APOLOGIZE...

How can you say something like this:

...Having said that, come on, man! You have to back-check better than that!

Even if he couldn't, he at least has to make the effort.

Oh yeah? Did you see or hear what the commentator said? "His glove got stuck in the glass hole where the cameraman was." "Even if he couldn't"? Seems like even Adam figured out that it was too late for Ovie to come back. His hand got stuck! And maybe he strained his hand a bit too. Alex knows when he can make it and when he can't, and most of the time he is back in D. Adam also can't remember that Alex came back after missing a game with the foot injury.

But tonight's game vs. Flyers was an excellent example why Great Eight is the best player in the world: primary assist on the first goal and scoring the second game winning goal which is his 48th. Excellent effort on backchecking Simon Gagne. Alex was awesome tonight. Seems like his foot is 100% now.

The team obviously should get A+ for executing Coach Boudreau's game plan. Finally! This is how you need to play against Flyers, give them the taste of their own medicine: sit back and counter, sit back and counter. The neutral zone trap won't hurt either. Eventually the team with better offense will win in this scenario. And Caps do have a better offense, with Ovechkin, in fact, you should apply for the best offense in the league.

Alex got 1 goal, 1 assist, his total ice time was 19:20, average shift was 00:50 (excellent), 8 shots on goal, 3 hits.
