Plan B

Sanity prevails. The league has decided that the incoming blizzard has rendered tonight’s game unsafe to play. Caps vs Ducks has been postponed. No word on Sunday’s game yet, or for when Caps-Ducks will be rescheduled.

Instead of travelling to Verizon Center, might we recommend you stay home and do absolutely nothing? Or perhaps a snowball fight at a nearby park? Or baking something from the 1991 Caps Cookbook? Or Netflix and Chill, as, I understand, the youths are calling this “cuffing” season.

Stay safe, everybody.

Tomorrow’s Wizards-Jazz game has also been cancelled.
