Oh. Wow. You can score on Neuvirth and the Sabres. You must be very proud.
Let’s make this quick because I gotta shovel my sidewalk.
The Caps won yesterday for the fourth time in a row, their best run of the season. No time to celebrate though, because evil Bettman scheduled them for back-to-back nooners. I’d say “don’t worry, it’s just the Flyers” except just because they’re a bad team doesn’t mean they can’t play dirty stuff and get a little lucky too.
Tune in at 12:30 on NBC proper.

Thanks to everyone I met in Chinatown yesterday and everyone here at RMNB, especially Emily Wright, for covering for me while I was gone.
