Caps vs Sabres pregame: Anything is possible

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that there has been some news. Listen, if the Capitals are going to face off against any team, I’m glad it’s the Sabres. Four key Caps are out, so we’re working with some interesting moves including top line Jakub Vrana and the return of Brian Pinho. Anything is possible, please wear a mask.

Puck drop is at 7PM. Grab your beverage of choice, sit back, stream the game and hang out with us! Chris will have your recap.
