    I chose this picture of Crosby at Worlds for the top image of this pregame story because I’m a jerk.

    Good morning, Caps fans. It’s a beautiful and busy day on the east coast. In just a few hours the Caps and Rangers will be facing off in game two of their best-of-seven series, which started on Thursday about as good as anything can start.

    Go make some breakfast, do some chores, maybe get some free comic books. Do it all now because we’ve got a nooner coming. 12:30 on NBC. Caps lead the series 1-0.

    Team Record Possession PDO Power Play Penalty Kill

    New York Rangers 53-22-7 50.6% 101.7 16.8% 84.3%

    Storylines

    No time for storylines; it’s 8 AM in the morning and I have to go to Home Depot. Just know that the Rangers are pissed about Backstrom’s hit on Boyle, though totally cool with Glass spearing Holtby. This is gonna get ugly.

    TOM WILSON, YOU’RE UP.

    Oh good, you’re ready.

    Yesterday

    I decided I didn’t have enough time to do storylines, but I had enough time to embed this video, which is not exactly work-safe, but you’re not working anyway.

    What You’re Missing in Real Life

    Today is:

    • Free Comic Book Day. Go to your local comic book store (mine is Brainstorm Comics) and get some free stuff.
    • Independent Bookstore Day. Buy a book, not from Barnes & Noble. I still recommend the Last Policeman trilogy by Ben Winters.
    • The Kentucky Derby. I think it’s disgusting, but not nearly as much as,
    • The Pacquiao/Mayweather fight, which is a guy I loathe versus I guy I can’t believe is not in jail in a sport that I don’t find interesting at all, which is why I’ll be
    • Going to a barbecue.
