I was at that game and I looked at my daughter after the play and said I am really going to like this kid and he was a pleasure to watch for 4 years. The things he could do with a puck were nothing short of amazing.
I don't care how much talent Grimaldi has but it will take him a full season to fill Trupps skates. Sorry but not to often an 18 year old comes in and simply takes over where a 4 year player like Trupp left off. It will take time but it will be fun to watch him develop.
For a team that was down 2 games to none the Caps did not show any desperation in the 3rd period until the last minute and a half. Pathetic effort. They deserve to be down 3-0.
Since Malone is now a former player I figured I would put this here. Hard to believe a writer would put this on a headline of an article welcoming a new player to Colorado.

Way to put all of this in perspective. Hockey is just a game and win or lose the sun will come up the next day. Glad to hear that your son is on his last chemo treatment and that all continues to go in a positive direction.
