Preview: Make sure to check out Justin’s goalie preview of Braden Holtby. Also, make sure to check out Suit’s systems analysis and my overall preview (combined in one post due to time constraints) here. That should give you everything you need to know about the Caps and how the Rangers match up.
As for this game, Brian Boyle is a game time decision, and will play for Steve Eminger if he can go. Dubinsky is definitely out for tonight.
Boyle is in, Eminger is out. Dubinsky is still out.
Crazy Thought: Kreider gets a hat trick?

I like the Crazy Thought. Its Kreider’s birthday today so I expect him to go off.
unless he’s drunk
That’s not til after.
Oh yea its the big 2-1. I hate that he’s the same age as me. Makes me feel like I’ve accomplished nothing haha
He’s 7 years younger than me. How do you think I feel?
old.
Thanks dick.
What the #%*@! Where’s the replay on Boyle’s “holding the stick” penalty? And the interference call on Richards? Please!
What a crap way for Caps to get the lead.
It is what it is. If the refs are allowed to influence the game, then the team did something wrong.
Rangers thoroughly outplayed Washington. This loss stings…
