Capitals open with a bang

Sign up Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau for 81 more of those.
The Caps opened the 2009-10 campaign Thursday night with a 4-1 throttling of the Boston Bruins at TD Garden on the strength of a stout defensive effort and a pair of goals from both Alex Ovechkin and Brooks Laich.
“If you could bottle that game up, we’d take it every time,” Boudreau said. “We weathered the storm in the first six or seven minutes, and they had that goal called back [Boston's Shawn Thornton scored after a quick whistle]. And after that I thought we played really, really well.”
Laich gave the Caps the lone tally of the first period at 17:15. Nicklas Backstrom received a diagonal pass from Ovechkin in the right circle and sent one of his own to Laich near the left post. After first trying to put the puck in with a forehand attempt, Laich recovered to flick in a backhand for the first goal of the NHL season.
