GAMEDAY 79 - CAPITALS

Written by Rick

 

7:30 PM
 
Mellon Arena
 
Listen to the game at [WXDX]
 
Know the Enemy:
 
 
 
The Caps are here for one final regular season game.
The second last regular season game in Igloo history.
 
Washington is 3-0 against the Penguins this year.
They lead the league standings by approximately one billion points.
 
The road to a second straight Stanley Cup will likely go through the Capitals.
 
There's also that Sid/Alex storyline that no one ever talks about.
 
Crosby leads the league in goals with 47.
Ovechkin is right behind him with 46.
 
The winner of tonight's game will not be awarded the Stanley Cup.
The Penguins lost the season series to the Capitals last year, but they beat them when it mattered.
Both teams have already qualified for the playoffs.
What happens tonight technically means nothing.
 
However, a win tonight would definitely be sweet.
 
Especially while we're battling with New Jersey for the Atlantic division title.

Chris Kunitz will miss tonight's game with an elbow injury.
 
Projected Penguins Lines:
 
Ruslan Fedotenko - Sidney Crosby - Pascal Dupuis
Alexei Ponikarovsky - Evgeni Malkin - Bill Guerin
Matt Cooke - Jordan Staal - Tyler Kennedy
Mike Rupp - Max Talbot - Craig Adams

Sergei Gonchar - Mark Eaton
Brooks Orpik - Kris Letang
Jordan Leopold - Alex Goligoski

Marc-Andre Fleury
 
Semyon Varlamov will be in net for the Caps.

 

 


 
 
 
 
He's had a rough year, but we think he's got at least one more big win left in him.

 
Do it.
 

Go Pens.

@psamp saw the design concept page for Archer's space armor today. One concept had Archer in Xtacle armor. May have teared up.
