A slightly retooled Caps return home to, with any luck, not suck. Their opponent tonight, the Montreal Canadiens, appear to give up on their season.
Some tweets:
At 34 years, 156 days old, #ALLCAPS Alex Ovechkin can become the 2nd-youngest player to reach 700 goals in #NHL history, trailing only Wayne Gretzky (29 years, 342 days).

Brian MacLellan believes all the attention for Ovi's 700th goal has negatively impacted the team.
“From observing, everybody wants him to get it and they are trying hard for him to get it. I think we would benefit from just playing our game and it’s going to happen organically."
