Caps vs Islanders pregame: Back with Barry

Something very exciting has made its way from the Big Apple to the Washington, DC area. No, it’s not me visiting my parents for a weekend or another spectacular burger chain (lookin’ at you Shake Shack). It’s the New York Islanders! Obviously, the big story this evening is that Barry Trotz is back in Capital One Arena, but this time he is on the opposing bench. Be prepared to cry during a tribute video. Lord knows I will.

Dial your television to NBCSWA for a 7:30PM puck drop. Need to take the Caps on the go? No problem-o, everyone probably has super cool Friday plans. You can stream the game on your devices via the My Teams app. Chris from the sweet, sweet comments will provide you with, what is bound to be, the recap of your dreams.

Caps at Predators pregame: Nashville nonsense

Being completely upfront, last night’s game was a mess. Tonight? Hoping for a better outcome, but the Capitals have traveled to Nashville to face the Predators. While they might be coming off a 6-3 loss to the Caroline Hurricanes, the Predators aren’t looking too shabby. They are also playing at home tonight which could make things tougher for the Capitals.

I’m hoping that this intro might be a reverse jinx. By me thinking the Capitals could lose tonight…maybe they’ll win? Or I could be reverse jinxing the reverse jinx. Whatever these jinxes don’t matter (or do they).

We have a little bit of a later start tonight with an 8PM puck drop. Catch the action on NBCSWA or via the My Teams app on your devices. Your recap will be provided this evening by the one and only Peeeeeeter Hassett.

Caps vs Blues pregame: 100Orpik

In the snowy nation’s capital, the Washington Capitals are playing host to the St. Louis Blues. While the ceremony won’t be taking place until the game on Friday evening, Mr. Brooks Orpik will be playing his 1000th game tonight! I don’t think I’ve ever done anything serious 1000 times, so extreme kudos to Batya. He is the 330th player to make it to 1000 games.

Puck drop is at 7PM and you can catch the game on NBCSWA. Are you not near a TV tonight? Have no fear, you can always stream the game via the My Teams app on your devices. Recap will be provided by yours truly. I am sick, so it might read with a hint of cold medicine, but I like to keep things exciting.

Caps at Bruins pregame: A brush in Boston

The Washington Capitals are away this evening to face the Boston Bruins. My personal nemesis, Jaroslav Halak, will be in net for the Bruins tonight while they try to tie the Capitals in wins. On the good guys side, there are some quick lineup changes to note. Nicklas Backstrom is back in after missing last game due to illness and Andre Burakovsky is back to the bench as a healthy scratch.

We are back to a normal puck drop time at 7PM! You can catch every second of that sweet, sweet action on NBCSWA. Can’t make it to a television set this evening?

Caps vs Flyers pregame: Sick Backstrom

The Washington Capitals are at home tonight and will be facing off against the Philadelphia Flyers. Seems like the only good thing about the Flyers these days is their mascot, Gritty (I don’t want to hear any Gritty slander, please keep it to yourself). Not only are they going to tie the NHL record by starting their seventh different goaltender this season, but their losing streak has now reached seven games. On the Capitals side, they will need to stay on their toes while Nicklas Backstrom stays a game-time decision due to illness.

The puck will be dropping around 7:30 PM and you can catch alllll the action on NBCSWA. As always you can stream all of their pregame, in-game, and postgame coverage via the My Teams app on all of your usual streaming devices. Mr. Peter Hassett will have you recap.
