Umberger's Right on being Wrong


After their 3-2 loss on Saturday to Washington, Columbus Blue Jackets Center RJ Umberger gave his opinion on the Capitals team.
Saying "They play the wrong way. They want to be moving all the time. They float around in their zone, looking for breakaways and odd-man rushes." Also "A good defensive team is going to beat them (in the playoffs). If you eliminate your turnovers and keep them off the power play, they're going to get frustrated because they're in their zone a lot."

Umberger is correct in this way of thinking, the Caps are 3-11-3 when scoring under 3 goals. If a playoff oppenent can force a low scoring game with the League's highest scoring team i like their odds of shutting down Ovechkin and company.
