Who's bright idea was it to schedule a game in the middle of a work day?  The Caps been playing New Years Day matinee for years.  Why change it now?

College football playoffs, I'd imagine.


Picked up a bug somewhere.. Prolly out running around the lake over the weekend..  Achy, weak, stuffy sniffly nose..  May not be around much during the game.


Go Ovi!!

Miro in for Vrana is the only change besides the goalie

We never seem to do very well at early games and we seem to have lost our mojo against the Bruins.   At least I wont be losing any sleep.
