Nate Schmidt Scores, Other Players Also Participate: Caps beat Bruins 2-0
Alright, listen. There was a game and the Caps won, but all I really care about is that Nate Schmidt scored. I’m not gonna play it cool and dedicate just a single, solemn bullet to Nate’s goal because you will all know I’m being disingenuous.
So here, up front, is John Walton calling Nate Schmidt’s goal.
And up top is a photo of him being happy because that’s what he does. That’s what relentlessly positive Nate Schmidt does.
And here’s what I looked like after the goal.

Caps vs Bruins Pregame: The Big Game
This might be the most important game of the season. The Bruins, on a hot streak, have surged from no-man’s land. The Capitals are injured and sick, they can’t score to save their lives right now, they’re basically out of the division race, and they’re barely holding onto a wild card spot.
This a four-point game, and it will factor large into who does what after April 11.
7:30 PM on NBC Sports. I’m going to puke.
