Caps vs Blues pregame: 100Orpik

In the snowy nation’s capital, the Washington Capitals are playing host to the St. Louis Blues. While the ceremony won’t be taking place until the game on Friday evening, Mr. Brooks Orpik will be playing his 1000th game tonight! I don’t think I’ve ever done anything serious 1000 times, so extreme kudos to Batya. He is the 330th player to make it to 1000 games.

Puck drop is at 7PM and you can catch the game on NBCSWA. Are you not near a TV tonight? Have no fear, you can always stream the game via the My Teams app on your devices. Recap will be provided by yours truly. I am sick, so it might read with a hint of cold medicine, but I like to keep things exciting.

Projected Lines

Optional morning skate took place today, but there are some new lineup developments. Andre Burakovsky and Madison Bowey are back in. Pheonix Copley will also get the start, but according to Isabelle at the Washington Post, you shouldn’t worry about Holtby. He’s slated to be the backup, so he seems to be alright after taking a stick to the eyeball last game. I could speculate, but I won’t. Maybe the lineup will only be Burakovsky, Bowey, Copley, and a light appearance from Brooks Orpik since it’s his day. That would be an interesting game.

Gloves Game

There could not be a more perfect giveaway for everyone in the DC area, currently snowed in. Today is the Winter Glove Giveaway presented by Capital One! Get to the game early to make sure you secure a pair.


Storylines

• We have the greatest hats of all time on sale. Please buy one so we can all match each other OR so I can yell at you if I see you across the street.
• Snoop Dogg did commentary during the LA Kings game and can you imagine how giddy Alex Ovechkin was when he saw this?
• The RMNB Midseason NHL Awards are underway and in today’s post, Alex is talking about the Norris Trophy.
• How did the players spend their snow days? You don’t have to go to separate profiles because we have the highlights allll in one post.
• Ilya Samsonov recorded his first career AHL shutout and, to be honest, I feel like a very proud mother.
• Brennin has begun one of the most incredible series of game recap posts that I have ever seen. The first one is now live and I dare you not to smile.
• The Capitals continued to raise some money for Make-A-Wish during their annual “Wish Upon A Par” event. Big shout out to anyone that made it out during the winter storm for a good cause!
• A KHL team wants to bribe Artemi Panarin with a lifetime supply of free gasoline. What WILL he be offered next???

Happy  Birthday  Alan  May

maybe some common sense, that way he wouldn't mock the current champions about scoring

Conrats Orpik


GO CAPS!!

[Mickstix]

Good to see Bowey back in for Siegenthaler.. Seemed like he was making too many mistakes lately. Not sure why they wont give Jaskin a sweater.. Pick a center, any center.. They could all use a day off.

Morning peeps. 

[Surreylily]

Somebody give Alan May a great big wet birthday kiss from me?     

[ArJunaZ]

 

[ArJunaZ]

Good morning Lil from Surrey.

[Surreylily]

Whooooo hoooo!   Big bot sighting early onn.   

[richkrt99]

That guy is amazing.  Can't believe they can't prevent that.


Go Ovie.  Go Caps.


Thank you, Thank you Thank you, again for the STREAMS post....watching at work again  (well sort of watching).

[zerofox]

I'm glad we got our terrible PP1 out and had people who actually work and don't try to get cute. I mean seriously that Kuzy pass pissed me off so much...


That's been a definite area of frustration for me recently, just watching PP1 muck things up constantly with dumb plays. Thank god for PP2

I'm on it....
but the guys at work are wondering why I'm kissing my monitor (Lil...that's the thing where the picture comes out) 

[ArJunaZ]

That was a sick goal from Ovie.  They knew it was coming and  couldn't do a thing about it. Like a rail gun with pin point accuracy.

I don't know what's more surprising, the zebras giving the Caps a PP or the Caps getting a PPG!

Oooohhh....Rail Gun.  You can make sort of one of those (a primitive version) in Fallout 3.  I think it was called a rail gun, but it was steam powered and shot a railroad spike with great accuracy.  You could pin severed body parts (arms, legs, heads) when fired at an enemy.


Wow, that sounds gross, but I'm not really a psycho.

[richkrt99]

actually it was called a Railway Rifle.  But that's the first image that popped into my head when I heard Rail Gun.

(Okay, so I don't know how to post a link to a picture)  What I get for poking fun at Lil (with love of course)
