Although he recorded the victory, Tomas Vokoun was far from sharp in his Capitals' debut. He allowed five goals on only 28 shots in a 6-5 win over Tampa as his teammates bailed him out by scoring five as well and then scoring two in the shootout. On the plus side, Vokoun did not allow any goals in the shootout. We suspect he may have been nervous. However, he is going to have to be a lot better if he is to make the 65 starts most experts have predicted. Michal Neuvirth is a very capable netminder who is itching for the opportunity to start.
