i didn't like the caps' chances in this one >> craig: no, i know you told me that. it's a combination of all the factors that you guys talked about. i don't think they won any loose puck. they looked it lethargic as you mentioned. against a team that is coming, coming, coming, two games in two nights, that's not an excuse because these guys are world class athletes. this game should not even have went to a shootout. bruce boudreau was counseling everybody in the locker room that the caps can't take anyone lightly. i don't think that the caps took them lightly. they played a better game. not for varlamov, this would have been a more lopsided score. >> what was your take on all the young line-up, the hershey connection? what was your take on the line- up and minutes they provided >> craig: they played hard. that's what you're going to get from hershey. are you going to get an nhl caliber, alex semin, mike knuble. i don't think so but, again, perreault set up the caps very well, beagle always a horse and a bull in a china shop and i think gordon fared well in his secon
