The Caps are at home to host the Carolina Hurricanes for Game Seven. Have some hope, get a drink of your choice, relax, and let’s have some fun. Go Caps.
Puck drop is at 7:30 PM and you can stream the game using the My Teams app. Peter will hook you up with a soothing, relaxing recap. Maybe.

Pup on the mic
The only opinions I want to hear from after the Predators were bounced by the Dallas Stars in Game Six. A puppy at the mic would definitely make any press conference better, especially after a big loss.

Storylines
- Yeah, last game wasn’t great. But, you already know that the hugs were.
- We love a passionate, and sarcastic, Alex Ovechkin.
- Michal Kempny has been watching the boys practice from afar, most likely with a loving glance.
- If you’re headed to the game tonight, don’t forget to print off these very important signs to show the team!
- Ilya Samsonov is killin’ it for the Hershey Bears.
- I’m not entirely sure how the Carolina Hurricanes are supposed to win tonight after we published this devastating diss track.
- Justin Williams. Good or bad?
- Will Andrei Svechnikov play tonight? He’s being re-evaluated sooooo maybe?
- IF THE CAPS WIN (emphasis on IF), this is what the schedule will look like.
Damian Lillard
Yeah, yeah, yeah I know it’s hockey and this particular thing is about basketball…but did you see Damian Lillard win the series last night for the Trail Blazers? The shot was from 37 feet and the game was tied.
ICYMI: Tied game. Clock winding down.

See this as a potential sign for tonight. Shoot your shot, Caps. Go all in. It ain’t over until the final buzzer.
