Da plane!  Da Plane!


 


I see McMichael is in.  Good for him.  Hope he earns it.  I thought he played well with Oshie/Sheary in preseason.

Samsonov...Hmmmm.  I thought Vitek had played well enough to keep the net.  I know they intend to use both guys, but still.  (Not that I have it in for Sammy)

Doubt I contribute much tonight from the rink...eyes are too damn old to be seeing that little phone screen.  (and they might be just a tad bit blurrier than normal)  Although not sure I want the wife driving the Yukon after the game in a garage OR in DC for that matter.  She can barely manage her little Honda out in the boonies where there's no traffic.

Anyone have any recommendations for a quickish dinner before the game near the rink?  I know there's tons of stuff right there, but I don't venture there much.


Masks are required in Capital One Arena at all times except when eating or drinking.  Guess who's going to have to keep busy NOT wearing a mask 


GO CAPS.  Hope it's a good one.

you post updates at intermissions and commercial breaks, ya amateur 


also, best food in the arena is on level two, the restaurant or the side places, it's also going to be easiest unless you get down there 2 hours early

if weren't a school night, Id hang around after the game to let traffic die down and get chinese at that place on H and 6th opposite corner of the arena, its good stuff, made by actual mandarin speaking people

Prolly not getting there till six so.... looks like it's $15 beers and $12 pretzels


Level 2 is where we at anyway.  Section 201, I think (er....maybe 203 - my son has the tickets).  On the Caps shooting end twice.

I think MacKinnon has Covid so he's out.


I get to see that Bearakowski guy though.

MacKinnon was cleared this morning

[Mickstix]

Who's MacKinnon?? (that probably won't age well) But yea, he was cleared this morning.

Let's GO CAPS!  I anticipate a win tonight, a lot of their guys are out.  (oh yeah, Kadri is an asssssss)

I'll get extra tickets one day here soon/throughout the season. 
When I do - I'll post to see who is available to go,
it'll probably be later in the day though(sometimes it's like 5 or 6 when I find out).

[richkrt99]
