Caps at Hurricanes pregame: Close it out (Game Six)

The Capitals are back on the road for Game Six against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Caps are up in the series 3-2 and have the chance to close it out tonight. The boys need to stay focused, beat that gosh dang goalie (who had 48 out of 49 saves in Games Three and Four), and basically play exactly like they did on Saturday night. That was magic.

Puck drop is at 7 PM and you can stream the game using the My Teams app. Peter will have the usual perfect recap for you after the game.

Caps at Hurricanes pregame: Try again (Game Four)

The Capitals are still in North Carolina and will be facing off against the Hurricanes for Game Four. To be honest, I almost wanted to write Game Three because I blocked the actual Game Three out of my mind. We’re brushing it off, we’re moving on.

If the Capitals want to avoid the Canes tying this series up, they will need to do literally everything completely opposite from Monday night. The atmosphere is going to be electric again and the Capitals need to be smarter.

Puck drop is at 7 PM, and you can stream the game using the My Teams app. Recap duty will be brought to you by *drum roll* Chris Cerullo! We’re switchin’ it up for y’all, gotta stay on your toes.

Caps vs Hurricanes pregame: Peak bloom (Game Two)

The Washington Capitals took Game One on home ice, but it wasn’t flawless. The Caps took and held an early lead but were on their heels for long stretches of it. Things got pretty hairy in the third period. If the Hurricanes get as much offense as they had in Game One, this is gonna be an interesting day.

And the day part matters. It’s a dreaded day game with puck drop at 3:00 PM. It’s on NBC, and I’m sorry about that. You can stream it using the My Teams app if you are at your niece’s volleyball game or friend’s going-away party. Peter’s got recap duty, so please nice to him because he’s fragile.

Caps vs Hurricanes pregame: Series of jerks (Game One)

The Carolina Hurricanes have been sent up to Washington, DC to face the Capitals in Game One of their Stanley Cup Playoff Series. The Capitals and the Hurricanes have never faced each other in the playoffs. The Capitals swept the Canes this year in all four games, and currently have a total record against them of 86-62-12. Fingers crossed that the home ice advantage will give the Capitals the first win of the series.

Everything is happening so much and so fast. Let’s go Caps.

Puck drop is at 7:30 PM, and you can stream the game using the My Teams app. After the game, we’ll have a complete recap for you.
