- Zdeno Chara will not play tonight.

- Backstrom wants a five-year contract while the Capitals only want to go three years.

- Andre Burakovsky hit 13 goals this week, surpassing last season’s goal total in 44 fewer games.

- Alex Ovechkin has been voted as the captain for the Metro Division at the All-Star game…again, but remains noncommittal about playing; said his health will take top priority in his decision.

Merry Christmas Everyone !!!

Let's GO CAPS!

[BlackIce]

The Caps are totally playing with house money tonight.  Going into the Christmas break they've gotten their two West Coast swings out of the way, they've completed their season series against Tampa, and tonight they finish the season series against Boston.  AND they've already won their first two games against Boston this season, so they have the season series in hand.  Even if they lose tonight, it just isn't much of a big deal.  They've already made mincemeat of a pretty difficult early-season schedule.  I can guarantee you that there is NOBODY in the NHL who thought the Caps would be anywhere near where they are right now.  And I bet that includes the Caps themselves.

shit, I guess I’m listening to the first half of the game on the radio in the kitchen

70-Holtby   Should be   5-Holeby

[BlackIce]

I know this isn't going to make anyone feel good, but the Caps have owned the Bruins for the past several years.  Something like this was going to happen sometime.


Might as well let Samsonov get some more work tonight.
