Comparing The Capitals Goalies To The Leagues Best
The goalie position for the Washington Capitals this season has been fairly up and down.
Braden Holtby has mostly had a rough season but has still turned in some good performances. Ilya Samsonov has been tremendous for the majority of the season. One guy has been playing average, at best, the other has been great. Therefore, it’s been an up and down year for the goalies.
There’s been debate, or thoughts going around that it’s not the goalies that are to blame for the recent struggles but the defense. That particularly goes for Holtby’s game for most of this season. He’s getting left out to dry by the defense night after night.
