All things considered it was a great effort. Just hate seeing them lose on a bad goal like that though.
I'd go back to Neuvy next game.

It sounds like he says Pittsburgh Queens, but maybe that's just me.
Bummer than Neuvi had to come back in a trap game.. Like some others have said, Im not too happy with BB and his comments about looking for his #1.. Neuvi should be the #1 reguardless at this point.. And he should of been put back between the pipes the game after Tampa, if he was healthy.. Love Holtby to death, but he's not even green yet, he's still a bud!! Hoping Neuvi gets the nod on Friday and we wipp the Devils ass!!
Since when is playing Detroit a 'trap game'?
I'm thinking it meant the game as a whole was a trap. Second game in a back to back, players missing, Neuvirth needed to come back just a little stronger, or Bruce can justify playing Holtby again, since hey, Neuvirth lost.

damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. if BB had played Holtby again, then everyone would have been up in arms about his insistence on playing same goalie till the guy loses, even when the guy is starting to look tired or unfocused, as Holtby did in Montreal.
here's a pet peeve of mine. Ovie's effort level when it comes to digging out puck when it's trapped along boards under 2 or more players. he seems to cruise by, make a cursory effort at digging it out, and then float on.
also, he was damn casual with the puck in our own end during the PP. (yesterday was same in Montreal; two very bad giveaways were fortunately nullified by Habs' offsides.) has it always been this way with #8?
mind you, he's my favorite guy on the team. seeing him score brightens my whole day. it's just that the passion and energy are so high sometimes, and then other times, like along the boards, not as much.
he made a nice pass to Semin, though, on the 2-on-1 in 3rd period. wish Semin would have fired the vaunted wrist shot then instead of yet another curl & drag.
Arnott can't come back soon enough for this Caps fan's taste.
I don't really think anyone whose opinion is worth anything would damn Boudreau for sitting Holtby and letting Neuvirth get the start against Jersey.
we lost to a good team on the road after playing a game the night before without some of our best players by one goal. I think we are ok guys. Lets get the devils
if Neuvirth wants the #1 spot in the playoffs he is going to have to play better than he did last night......he played poorly, its that simple
