Caps and NHL are in agreement on the broadcast, it will be on Monumental.

No FM broadcast because fuck the fans.

Might be the last time we see Ovi v Sid..  :(


Crazy the arena doesn't even look full? Last time to see Ovi in person, much less the rivalry??  :raised-eyebrow:


Had no clue it'd be on Monumental. Have to see if hulu has it.

A Sunday afternoon game on a nice springtime day. I’m not surprised at this not being a full arena. This should be a 6 or 7pm game. It is pretty full though.

Ilya Protas was listed as a winger while in Hershey. While I did see some highlights of his play there I never did see if he ever started a game at center.
