I'm going to the game tonight for my birfday.  Good seats.  Hope the Caps show up big and stomp the pesky lightning.

The Lightning played last night in Boston.


Dubois is normally on PP1, not sure what adjustments will be made tonight.

4 rows from the glass, section 101 (I was told...I didn't buy the tickets)  Near the caps bench/tunnel
Personally, I'd just as soon sit middle or back of 100's - full unobstructed view of ice/play, but this will be nice.
I went to 2 games last year...once near back of section 120, once in in upper 400's literally one row from the back wall.  Different crowd up there for sure, but it was fun.

I’ve sat in the first row behind the benches, technically row C, and everywhere else up to the last row next to the press boxes. I think the front row of 200 level is ideal. There are also fewer people on that level, shorter food and bathroom lines. Front row of 400 isn’t bad either, but from there I always go down to 2 during intermission.

Yay, another ESPN game. I don't know what Im bitching about. Still have no streaming package that'll get Monumental games and finding a stream the other night seemed about impossible. (Finally figured out they were on NHLN)

25 year old Curtis Douglas, 6’9” 240lb. Looks like this is his first season at the NHL level.


Protas is listed at 6’6” and 225

Milano in for Dubois on PP1. Bold move.

What are you wearing Rich? I see a couple Caps jerseys and a yellow shirt (maybe security) at the end of the bench.


Boys, it's gonna be a looong season. Team is washed. Ofer PP continues with 0 shots again. We just run around hanging on. Don't create any 10bell scoring chances.

Pre game there was a bit of talk about how it’s too early to make any judgments about this squad. I disagree. I have made a judgment about the power play.
