The Capitals are home in DC tonight to face the Flyers. The Capitals are still sitting on top of the Metro division (*side-eye to the Pittsburgh Penguins*) and are counting themselves lucky that Evgeny Kuznetsov is alright to play after a tiny injury last week.
The Flyers haven’t been doing terribly. They’ve won eight of their last 10 games, and they’ve scored four goals or more in half of those victories.
You know, I’m getting real tired of the city of Philadelphia. The Super Bowl is almost here and then there is one more hockey game in March. We’re almost done. The game starts at 8:00 PM. Pat Holden will have a bedtime story for you in the form of a recap.

Well, I’m sure you heard the news already, but Barry has decided to bench Jakub Vrana. Maybe he’s experimenting, or maybe he likes to watch twitter burn. Who knows?

Okay, I promised myself I would chill out about the professional football team in Washington DC that I will not name out of pure absolute fury. But, NFL insider Adam Schefter spotted him in line at Shake Shack outside Radio Row for the Super Bowl today. I just hope everyone was nice to him because this Washington city sure as hell wasn’t.
