Even if a win is a win is a win, Capitals coach Barry Trotz gave a rather blunt and unflattering assessment of his team's performance in this particular victory.
"I didn't think we had a real hard work ethic, weren't diligent on our responsibilities, and that was probably one of our sloppier games," Trotz said.
Trotz said the Capitals "got two lucky goals" en route to beating the Devils 3-2 on Thursday night.
