Caps lose 4-3

This game should be a nice measuring stick for the Caps...well both teams actually.
Its odd the Wild PK, PP, and FO stats all suck balls.  They must be hella good at 5v5 which is pretty much where the Caps have been successful. 
Caps better bring their A game tonight

[waynerivers]

Let's try not to spend the first 10 minutes in our own end of the ice.  That's been a bad trend of late.

from Caps PR..

Jakob Chychrun is expected to play in his 500th career game tonight. Chychrun (1st round, 16th overall by Arizona) will become the ninth player and third defensemen from the 2016 NHL Draft to play 500 career games. Chychrun, who was acquired from Ottawa on July 1 for Nick Jensen and Washington’s third-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, has played 32 of his 499 career games with the Capitals (373 GP w/ ARI; 94 GP w/ OTT). Tonight’s contest will mark Chychrun’s 26th career game versus the Wild, which will tie for the second-most games he has played against a single franchise (28 GP vs. LAK; 26 GP vs. COL; 26 GP vs. SJS).

in the post practice presser today, coach said he thinks Fever will play tonight

This is the last time Marc André Fleury will be in this barn as a player. He has announced his retirement at the conclusion of this season.

Fucks sake Chuck??    Bro loses his mind everytime he leaves his crease. 


Oh well, played a pretty crisp 20. See what happens, but usually hard to recover from retardation vs a good club.

[Surreylily]

I'm glad Fever looks okay.  No lasting effects from the high stick from Willy.
