    Last night didn’t work out great for the Washington Capitals. Outplayed and outscored by a scrappy upstart Buffalo Sabres team, the Caps had one of those rare losses. Today at 5 PM they’ll be in peril of doing it again at the hands of New York Rangers, a team headed in the opposite direction of the Sabres but just as dangerous.

    Tune in at 5 PM on CSN. Chris Gordon will have your deep-tissue Swedish massage with aromatherapy and recap.

    Team Record Possession PDO Power Play Penalty Kill
    Washington Capitals 33-8-3 52.1% 102.1 25.4% 84.8%
    New York Rangers 24-15-5 48.1% 102.9 18.5% 79.6%

    Projected Lineup

    I have no idea who will play. Here’s Maggie Smith with a lightsaber instead.

    The Facebook Comments

    From last night’s recap. Excerpted for her pleasure. The names of the guilty have been changed to protect the whatever.

    • 5 game losing streak starting tonight. Richards is bad joo-joo
    • Mike Richards…. Bad juju [Ed note: What is joo-joo/juju and why do I have the feeling there’s a post-colonial dimension to it that explains why I don’t know it?]
    • I’m not talking about winning every game but there are games that you should win and that you know you can win and then there are games where yes you lose but to lose to the pitiful Buffalo f****** ass sabers they out played out hit out shot out face soft wind and for what to come back and score 1 lousy goal
    • Sometimes u poop, sometimes u shart… We had the lather
    • THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SCRATCH LAICH! smile emoticon I kid…
    • Real caps fans watched the entire game.
    • Look at all the Fairweather fans whining! STFU Caps still are the only team in single digit losses but you go ahead and whine n jump ship. You will not be missed!
    • Butthockey is back? Go away butthockey.

    Hahahahaha. There were some positive people in there too; I just cherrypicked the silly ones.

    Storylines

    • Pat’s snapshot will be up around noonish I suppose. Update: here it is!
    • How did Mike Richards do last night?
    • Marcus Foligno vs Tom Wilson. A winner is you.
    • I loved Chris’s recap of last night’s game. Its quality is inversely proportionate to the quality of the game itself.
    • The Goal, at 10.
    • Last night’s game reminded me of Derek Miller’s article from last week. The Caps are due for some sh% regression, and last night was some of it.
    • Since my pregamer is so lacking, please read Vogs‘.
    • War On Ice will go away in a few months. This is devastating news. I had tried to build something to help out about 18 months ago, but then my work situation changed and I lost every ounce of available time (hence fewer of my bylines this season). I really want to help here, but I’m not sure how yet.
