Caps at Stars pregame: Bounce back

Headline photo: Jerome Miron

The Washington Capitals have the opportunity to immediately bounce back from their very poor showing against the St. Louis Blues on Thursday Night. That opportunity comes against the Dallas Stars, who the Caps have not beat in regulation, in Dallas since October 17, 1995.

We have another 8 PM start on our hands and you can catch tonight’s game on NBCSWA+ as superstar Sam Dekker and the Wizards have the Heat in Miami tonight on the main channel. As always you can stream all of their pregame, in-game, and postgame coverage via the My Teams app on all of your usual streaming devices. I will have your recap.

Jamie Benn

The Stars will be without their captain and third leading scorer tonight due to this hit from Miles Wood.


Storylines

• This kid has the absolute correct reaction to receiving an Alex Ovechkin jersey for Christmas.
• Here is my numbers post from the Caps loss to the Blues last night.
• Brett Hull‘s skate was in the crease and he’s also disappointed that Ovi is skipping this year’s all star festivities.
• Tom Wilson had an eventful night. He had to put up with a deranged Blues fan after going toe to toe with Robert Bortuzzo.

October 17, 1995 Things that were going on the day the Caps last won in Dallas, in regulation.
 

• Bill Clinton was President.
• Keith Moore was sentenced to 6 years for robbing Sting of $9,000,000
• Fantasy by Mariah Carey was being listened to in the US.
• The Lost World by Michael Crichton was one of the best selling books.
• Foreman For Real was one of the world’s most popular video games.

I call BS on that Foreman video game, I’d never heard of it before

PSSST!!  Hey Caps...there's a game tonight at 8.  Please come.

I hope they at least got shit face drunker than David Allen Coe in free Jack Daniels night like I do when I go to Dallas. . .   hell, as bad as they’ve played, pukin on center ice may be the best they’ve done in a while

[richkrt99]

and now from the who gives a shit and I must be bored cause it's another 8:00 start department....

both the Caps and F'n homo Hens have scored exactly the same number of goals and allowed the same number of goals so far this year.


GF:  140  GA:  117

[Mickstix]

Watched last night sober.. I wont make that mistake again!!

I am not one to criticize decisions made by a coach because they know way more than me but I really don’t understand why Brooks Orpik is playing back to back games when there is no need for it.  I understand he is just getting back after missing a ton of games so he may be physically able to play but he is 38 years old and I would rest him.  By the way in the two games he has played the Caps have given up 11 goals.  I am not saying he is the reason for that but it is what it is. 

[BarfingMonkey]

Let's Go Caps!

I thought to point out that the Caps did it in one fewer game.

but we have the leading goal scorer in the league, and the top three or best goaltender in the league

[HoustonCapsFan]

There is quite a bit more red in here than in years past. Let’s hope they play all three periods tonight.
