No matter what you believe in, have a lovely weekend. On behalf of Neil, Ian, Rachel, and the extended RMNB/SHOE family, I wish you peace on Earth and goodwill towards men. Except on the ice. There we’d prefer wanton violence and arbitrary hatred to reign.
And now… the Machinist.

Game Recaps That Aren’t Totally Tragic For Once

- Capitals 3, Senators 2 — You are free to rock the red, use letters of varying cases, and socialize with redheads again.
- Capitals 5, Devils 1 — It’s the quality of the shot that matters more. And if you can measure the shot distance in inches, that’s even better.
- Penguins 3, Capitals 2 (SO) — When you don’t have a camera literally under the ice to show this, there’s nothing the referees can do.
