Tonight, the Caps enter Madison Square Garden with a chance to end the Rangers’ season and advance to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since the spring of 1998. This won’t be an easy task. The Rangers are likely to play their best game of the series tonight, as their desperation level should be maxed out. Breathe people. The good guys are in the preferable position through four games.
Puck drop is at 7pm on NBCSN. Peter will be back at the helm for his usual game day duties once the game begins.

Good Music
On this day in 1970, The Beatles 12th and final studio album, Let it Be, was released. What kind of feeling do you have deep inside about tonight’s game, Caps fans?
Today is also the day in 1999 that Ricky Martin’s “Livin’ La Vida Loca” went to #1 and stayed there for five weeks. Crazy, huh?
