We’re shaking yesterday off. Today is a new day. Thursday is always a better day than a Wednesday. The Capitals have traveled north to play the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Truly hoping that the Caps show up in a mood that doesn’t involve the penalty box.
Puck drop is at 7 PM and Peter will once again be back here with your recap. You lucky dogs.

Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Wilson
Vrana – Backstrom – Oshie
Hagelin – Eller – Kovalchuk
Panik – Dowd – Hathaway
Dillon – Carlson
Orlov – Jensen
Siegenthaler – Gudas
Holtby
Ottawhew
The Ottawa Senators are still the Ottawa Senators. Jim Little was fired after two months as the CEO because uh….apparently he was swearing. Here’s the statement from Little.

Storylines
- IMPORTANT: The Caps signed Damien Riat.
- Don’t worry, TJ Oshie broke down all the Caps handshakes for you.
- The new Caps goal songs are wild, please take a look.
- The Coronavirus has forced the cancellation of IIHF tournaments as worries arise over hockey stick shortage.
- Let’s pretend last night didn’t happen.
- This might come as a shock, but Tom Wilson was getting pretty physical during the game yesterday.
Katy Perry
So, personally, I don’t really care that Katy Perry is pregnant. Good for her. I hope she and Orlando Bloom are happy. I did think the announcement on instagram was funny, here it is.
