Caps “Could’a – Should’a” Against Toronto

The viewers back home in Canada watching “Hockey Night” must have loved last night’s game between the Washington Capitals and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Caps seemed to do everything but win last night, losing to Toronto 3-2.

Capitals forward Victor Kozlov summed it up this way after the game, “Our intensity was there but we didn’t score on our chances. They had great goaltending.”

Matt Cooke, who was recently acquired by the Caps from Vancouver got his start in Saturday night’s game. Head Coach Bruce Boudreau said this about Cooke’s play. “He was a little tentative. It’s a different way we play here than the way Vancouver plays.”
