    Caps vs Bruins pregame: Momentous Monday

    It’s Game Two and the Washington Capitals are up 1-0 in their series against the Boston Bruins. Lines look the same, but it seems like we will see Craig Anderson starting in net for the Caps. Works for me. He was great last game stopping 21 out of 22 shots. Hoping to see some better officiating and another Tom Wilson goal.

    I know not everyone feels that way…especially this guy. Quite the qraphic qesign skills over here, but we’ll get to it.

    Puck drop is at 7:30 PM. Recap to follow!

    Regular-season stats

    Record 33-16-7 36-15-5
    Shot Attempt % 54.9% 51.4%
    PDO 99.0 101.7
    Power Play 21.9% (10th) 24.8% (3rd)
    Penalty Kill 86.0% (2nd) 84.0% (5th)

    Projected Lines

    Lines below are from morning skate. The extras are Kuznetsov, Carr, Fehervary, and TvR. Looks like Craig Anderson will be the starting goaltender:

    Ovechkin – Backstrom – Mantha
    Sheary – Eller – Raffl
    Sprong – Oshie – Wilson
    Hagelin – Dowd – Hathaway

    Orlov – Carlson
    Dillon – Schultz
    Chara – Jensen

    Not bothered

    I don’t think I have EVER in my WHOLE LIFE been so mad about something that I made a shirt about it. Have I been obsessed with something and made a shirt? Sure, but it was when puffy paints were cool and so was Twilight. Anyway, if someone can tell me what a scumbaq is, that would be very helpful.

    The Florida Series

    If you don’t have it already, I strongly suggest you bring the Tampa Bay Lightning/Florida Panthers series into your rotation of NHL playoff games to watch. It’s only been one game, but WHAT A GAME it has been! Check the highlights below:

    For the record, I am now a part-time Panthers fan.
