Craig Laughlin On The Washington Capitals Amazing Start To This Season

Craig Laughlin is a former NHL player who is currently the color commentator for Washington Capitals games on Comcast Sportsnet.

Craig joined Ed and Steve to talk about the amazing start to this season for the Washington Capitals.

Craig started off by talking about if the Caps have some post season awards coming their way saying "yeah I think Trotz should be the coach of the year for the way he kept this team together...Holtby should win the Vezina but for the Hart he will have a battle with a couple of guys." As for T.J. Oshie and if he is surprised with his early season play Craig said "I am I thought he would be a different player...what has surprised me more than anything is he is such a hound on the puck, I always thought of him as a fancy Dan...he has brought more to the table than I ever thought."

As for roster moves the team may have to make when guys return from injury Craig said "I think they're solid in the top 6 but when you look at the bottom six you have a real road block...that's a good thing you have guys like Galiev and Latta who could be sent through waivers."

Craig also talked about some other hockey topics like whether fighting will remain in the game and rule changes he would make to improve the game.
