The Washington Capitals will wrap up a series with the Philadelphia Flyers tonight on the road. The Caps have won like seven of their last eight games, despite nearly blowing pretty much all of them. Washington will probably do that again on Saturday night, but they’ll be without one horse/moose/tiger.
Puck drop is at 7 PM and good mister Chris Cerullo will have your recap. Lucky you.

Ikea Hacker?

I’m thinking about doing this: turning an Ikea cabinet into a little indoor greenhouse. I recently moved, and I have a backyard again, but I want to have fresh herbs all the time, even when it’s cold. This person has a lot of pretty succulents and warm-boy plants, but I really just wanna have a ton of fresh basil and parsley and chives and stuff.
Thoughts? Do we have any kitchen gardeners in the audience?
Storylines
- Lars Eller is still unavailable due to an undisclosed family issue.
- Ilya Samsonov will get his second straight start. That has not happened in a long while.
- Devante Smith-Pelly has signed a deal with the AHL’s Ontario Reign.
- Could Hank Lundqvist come back? GMBM is open to the idea.
- GMBM also raised a suspicious eyebrow about the Wilson suspension.
- How to get an empty netter? Shoot from anywhere.
- No Jonas Siegenthaler today. He played one shift last game.

I miss Pascal from ACNH. His wisdom was so powerful.
