The Capitals are still making their way through California and next up is a stop in Los Angeles to face the Kings. Are you tired yet? Yes? Well, WAKE UP!
Puck drop is a whole half hour earlier, 10:00PM! This time, you’ll get a recap from our sweet boy, Christopher.

Projected Lines
There was no morning practice for the guys today. Samantha Pell at the Washington Post reported that the Capitals will not be calling anyone up from Hershey, so the lines should look pretty similar to last night:
Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Wilson
Vrana – Eller – Oshie
Hagelin – Boyd – Panik
Leipsic – Dowd – Hathaway
Kempny – Carlson
Orlov – Jensen
Siegenthaler – Gudas
Samsonov
Hollywood Freaks
The title is a reference to a Beck song. I hope at least three people understood it.
National Cookie Day
I am personally a fan of a plain chocolate chip cookie gal (I’m incredibly boring, sorry) or a ginger snap fan during the holidays. But these? I don’t know how you can eat them since eating Captain seems gross!

Storylines
- Radko Gudas got a pretty high (and awful) hit from Evander Kane. Will the NHL give a proper punishment? Of course not, Kane only got fined $5000.
- Garnet Hathaway is on fiya!
- Tom Wilson chirping about Ryan Reaves during the game last night? *chef kiss*
- A Capitals-themed campfire setting on the Wharf? Sign me up!
- Personally? I fell asleep mighty fast last night and missed the game. If you’re like me and need to see the highlights, you can check out Peter’s game recap or Chris’ numbers for the morning after!
- Don’t miss our new installment of “Not up for debate”. It’s Cali-themed.
- Chandler Stephenson has been traded to the Vegas Golden Knights for a fifth round pick.
- Nicklas Backstrom is taking his contract negotiations into his own hands.
- The New Jersey Devils have officially fired their head coach.
- Connor McMichael has officially been named to Team Canada’s WJC selection camp!
Dance and be free
This is me when I’ve had too much Evan Williams egg nog during the holidays, but it’s the holidays and I love cheer!
To dance is to be free. pic.twitter.com/nsCXJyakB4
