Easy, Wild. Less Finnish, and I might not make you sleep on the couch when you buy it.


That's a start.

Like I said, it'll pass. This will be more appropriate during February. Of course I'll be in Arizona then so I won't be heckling her as much.

If theodore is in net, you can kiss this one goodbye. He has issues in philips arena.

Atlanta has been losing a lot and they need a winning streak so this one will be tough considering they will probably want it more than the caps.

Caps only win this game if Neuvirth turns in a Varlamov-like performance where he saves the caps early in the game and then late. He's going to have to come up with some huge saves because Atlanta will be coming out to pile it on early.

Ovie always gets motivated when he's playing against his fellow Russians. Atlanta has a few of them so I think Ovie will have a good game.

Who will win all comes down to who gets better goaltending.

Caps 5-1. Laich, Ovie X2, Steckel, Flash

Per Tarik, via WaPo: "Brooks Laich came out five minutes before any of his teammates and stayed 15 minutes longer than anyone else Friday, firing pucks into an empty net. Laich has two goals in his past 22 games."

Everyone send good mental mojo to Brooksies! Let's get him a goal tonight!

...already 3 pages at straight-up 08.00, the day of a normal 19.00 face-off? On a Saturday morning when there normally aren't that many on the boards? Downright interesting!

Now if only the Caps homepage would post the link to the Game Notes so I could see who the morons-in-stripes will be tonight.

And don't forget for some really top-notch coverage there's the Washington Times.

Will this be the first time in the NHL where both team's captains are from Russia?

The Caps plane did not fly out until this morning (it just left), I assume because of the weather. I am sure that will mess up their routine somewhat -- they have to get up early to get to the airport, etc.

Wait... what is this?

An actual post referring to the game at hand in the GDT?

You're fired.

Thrashers won this past Thursday over the Rangers to snap a nine-match losing streak.

That win was in the Bettman Special...and all of the Thrashers' four wins prior to that were either legit-OT or shoot-out as well. Their last regulation win was over the Kittycats 30th November...yes that's right, the Thrashers went through the entire month of December without a regulation win...also they have not beaten an opponent by two or more goals since an away win at Carolina on 27th November...and they have not had a home win by two or more goals since they smoked the Kings 7-nil two days after Veterans/Remembrance Day...it's all here: http://espn.go.com/nhl/teams/schedule?team=atl.

Just the kind of match that has the potential to worry a Caps supporter sick.

-----

There is a promo on tonight (Chick-Fil-A Family Night, with 4 tickets and 4 combos starting at $89)...wonder if that might help boost the attendance, still second-worst in the league and worst in the East at 72.8% of arena capacity.

Ah yes, yet ANOTHER "ever intense" SE Division tilt. I can feel the intensity from here.

Reynolds Wrap salesmen not even getting out of bed today.
