Holtby: Game 2 Wasn't Very Hard For Me
So how futile has the Rangers offense been in the first two games? Even Capitals netminder Braden Holtby admitted he had an easy time of it in Game 2 (via Washington Post)...
“It wasn’t a very hard game for me,” Holtby said after the game. “We did an outstanding job. Penalty kills are usually where you get the most work and if you eliminate that it’s basically just...
Holtby, Caps look to build on lead over Rangers

Opponent’s scouting report: Braden Holtby
As luck would have it, the Rangers drew the Caps in the second round and they were the only team in the Eastern Conference that didn’t get a goalie scouting report prior to the start of the second season. Luckier still, at the time I was previewing the potential goaltending matchups the Rangers might run into, Braden Holtby was the third option in goal for the Caps, and not even...
The Washington Capitals advance — much to everyone’s surprise
How do you spell relief? D-E-F-E–N-S-E. The Washington Capitals showed their non-believers that tough-minded defensive hockey, coupled with taking the punishment associated with hanging out in front of the net can and will win hockey games. And, perhaps they showed that Coach Dale Hunter’s ‘system’ can work not only at the NHL level, but in the Stanley Cup playoffs...
Will Capitals Goalie Braden Holtby Have a Successful NHL Career?
The Bruins have found themselves in a dogfight with the Capitals. And Washington goaltender Braden Holtby is a big reason why life's been difficult for the B's.

It was one of the rare shots Braden Holtby saw clearly Monday night.
A snap shot by Boston Bruins forward Rich Peverley that bounded off the rookie Washington Capitals goalie's glove and dribbled into the net 35 seconds into the second period. Gone was the Caps' first lead of the night -- and at least some of Holtby's aura.
