    Caps at Rangers pregame: Can we be normal?

    Much like myself, the Capitals are in New York City! They’re facing off against the New York Rangers tonight and I have to be honest with you all. If the Capitals blow another three goal lead, I will scream so loud that I will wake up the small children in the apartment above me and I will not be able to fall asleep ever again because they’ll be running around. My scream will break windows. Please, Capitals. Please have a normal, chill win.

    Puck drop is at 7 PM and Peter Hassett is your recapper for the evening.

    Record 3-4-2 6-1-3
    Shot Attempt % 50.3% 47.3%
    PDO 98.0 104.5
    Power Play 15.8% 40.9%
    Penalty Kill 79.4% 77.8%

    Projected Lines

    We don’t have lines for this morning, but the lovely Samantha Pell at the Washington Post shared the lines from Wednesday afternoon’s practice. You will note, there is no Eller, Sheary, Schultz, Kuznetsov, or Samsonov:

    Ovechkin – Backstrom – Wilson
    Vrana – Oshie – Panik
    Hagelin – Dowd – Hathaway
    Carr – Sgarbossa – Sprong

    Chara – Carlson
    Dillon – TvR
    Orlov – Jensen

    Vanecek

    Gritty Art

    The Flyers are making sure that even though there are no fans inside, there is still plenty to keep track of inside the arena. Here’s Gritty, getting a painting done of himself. Gritty will always be one of the best things to happen to this league.

    Ovi Bobblehead

    Did you see this Ovechkin bobblehead? I need to make sure everyone saw it because it’s very cute. Casual reminder that it is limited-edition, so grab it while ya can!
