I'm surprised AV has been giving him as much opportunity as he has.

I think it's because he does all the little things on D, and away from the puck well, which AV likes.

Hopefully he can start showing up on the scoresheet more often.

One thing's for sure—he doesn't look out of place in the NHL.

No he doesn't . I am not going to pass judgement until I see him about 30 games. That kid Saad looked great and he has the same amount of goals as JS and Kessel. To early for me to say ya or nay.

Can't believe the TSN stats that said Lappy was 4/8 in shoot outs.

Was that the same TSN that posted Lu had not let a goal in 109 minutes and 30 seconds later Chi scores.

He did. Definitely was more dangerous offensively than JS.

I cannot stand TSN, who talks about a shutout before the end of the game?

Looks like they need a lot more than just a goalie.

He'll get on a roll once he gets his first one. Still don't believe he'll be a player like that little guy (rookie) in Tampa. Scoring a lot of points already.

The caps are gonna make a deal. Schneider, Booth and Edler for Brouwer, Carlson, Alzner and Flip Forsberg
- Bieksa#3

I Like that deal, get them to through in a goalie for a pick.

Would be nice to be able to score on the PP, but I'll take the 2 points. 40 seconds of PP time in a 3rd period tie and nothing.

I loved that Lu tackled Kane and gave him a talking to.

Holtby won tonight. He's going to be their starter very soon. I think they'll be keeping their D-core.

They might need to be patient with him. I still see a lot of potential.

So comfortable with the puck, and rarely makes a bad pass. Also pretty good defensively and on faceoffs.

He does look a bit nervous as soon as he looks toward the net, though. Hopefully it'll come with time/experience.

Kane on Luongo "I think he's a great competitor and to be honest with you I'm glad he's doing well because he seems like a really good guy"

He can make some sweet saucer passes, just needs some confidense with a goal. He's playing on the outside right now.

Barely though, and we definitely need some scoring or eventually Luongo or Schneider playing "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better" just isn't going to be enough.

This is true, he also had that weird eye level pass during the game.
