Ugh....yeah, a matinee game which we notoriously suck at against the Cup Champions who just lost to the Oilers but got a day of rest in, after we just got out asses handed to us by Pittsburgh.

Oh yeah, this cant miss.

Will it be enough to win? Hard to say that considering the opponent.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a 3-2 type game either way though...and probably in OT.
Caps are a tough team to 'turn it on' against, defensively.

If they get shelled early despite their efforts to clean things up I bet they go back to River hockey

Well, I'm going to this one. They better not suck again like they did against the Penguins.

I want to see lindholm’s ability to carry his own line... and if that’s the case, we are truly very deep in center position

This is also a sentiment that is commonly shared by virtually every other fanbase. I would bet Capitals fans are at this moment bemoaning precisely the same same scheduling wrinkle.

Its not even just the schedule of playing an afternoon game its the circumstances as well with both teams coming off a bad loss and looking to make amends.

I believe he only makes videos for the away games, but some good old fashioned home cooking-puppet beat downs would be awesome!

Honestly, him and Backlund work far too well together to split up. I think that Bennett with his recent play has earned a look on the top line. It would be amazing to watch an offensive explosion from him playing with those two.

Caps play far more afternoon games than Calgary...players may be more used to it.

Best of luck man! If nothing else you can get her addicted to pocket dawgs.

I hope they dont let you down.

I can't make a new video for each game this year (they're too labour-intensive), and there wasn't enough time this week for all the games. But here's a rerun photo from last season against the Caps. Still applies too:


Spoiler!



New video coming for Monday night.
