    Caps vs Bruins Pregame: A Schmidty Situation

    Fresh off being further embarrassed by the Tyler Seguin trade, the Bruins come to town to face a Caps team that’s looking to bounce back from an uneven performance against Rangers on Tuesday.

    Before we fully shift our focus to tonight’s game, lets revisit the hug heard ’round the world. Non-Flawed Human Nate Schmidt spoke on the subject today and said that getting hugged by Alex Ovechkin is like getting hit by a bus.

    Peter, who also speaks for me on this topic, is so excited that he’s tweeting about his nipples.

    Back to the Bruins. Let’s check in on their psyche:

    Krejci on Caps: "Well, it would be nice to score a goal against those guys. It’s been a long time."

    — Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) November 5, 2015

    In your head, Krejci! In. Your. Head.

    Schmidt’s team plays at 7 PM. The trusty CSN channel on your teevee has the coverage.

    Team Record Possession PDO Power Play Penalty Kill
    Washington Capitals 8-3-0 56.1% 99.6 22.6% 88.2%
    Boston Bruins 6-4-1 51.3% 99.7 34.2% 70%

    Projected Lineup

    Per your friend and mine, Katie Brown:

    Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Oshie
    Johansson – Backstrom – Williams
    Chimera – Beagle – Burakovsky
    Laich – Latta – Wilson

    Orpik – Carlson
    Alzner – Niskanen
    Orlov – Schmidt

    Holtby

    Teach Me How to Nate

    If Cali Swag District had a redo, I’d bet they’d rename this jam.

    Storylines

    • Michael Latta in, Chandler Stephenson out.
    • Meanwhile, a terrible possession duo remains together. Stand down, Brooks Orpik defenders. I’m talking about Jay Beagle and Jason Chimera.
    • Ya boi JP takes a stab at fixing the Caps Orpickle.
    • Big ups to beloved head coach Barry Trotz, who will be part of Team Canada’s staff for the World Cup.
    • Caps prospect Jakub Vrana is out for a few months with a wrist injury.
    • The Caps haven’t been fighting this season. Good.
    • Always better the highlight the positive more than the negative. Here’s seven awesome hockey writers you should read.
    • Eric Fehr scored a nifty goal.
    • His name is Oshie but his friends call him Osh.

    Who Will Be Stupid First Tonight?

    Brad Marchand or Zac Rinaldo? My money is on the latter.
