The Washington Capitals defeated the Edmonton Oilers at home last night 7-4. It was the goalsplosion we had all longed for, but, of course, Informed Me couldn\u2019t help but notice the Caps process was bad. To say I\u2019m worried about how tonight\u2019s game against the Montreal Canadiens is going to go is an understatement. <\/p>\n
As a high school athlete, I remember how my team would have an easy night against a bad team, when we didn\u2019t play our best, and then we\u2019d have some unfounded confidence. A few nights later, we\u2019d play someone who had their s*** together, and we would get demolished. I hope that\u2019s not what\u2019s in store tonight. <\/p>\n
Alex Ovechkin has scored in four of the last five with some un-Ovechkin-like tallies. It speaks to his brilliance as a player where, one part of him can fade, yet he\u2019s so smart \u2014 and really this is not focused on enough, just how smart of a player and person he is \u2014 he just finds a way. His consistency and his ingeniousness are the two things I\u2019ll truly remember about him when he retires. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever cover another player that is quite like this.<\/p>\n
Dylan McIlrath will play in his second game of the season. No Nic Dowd. Could we see a Big Mac\/Arber Xhekaj fight? Feels likely. Charles \u201cThe Outlaw\u201d \u201cChchchchchchchchchchchchchhchchchch\u201d Lindgren will get the start against Sam Montembault, one of the greatest names in hockey.<\/p>\n
Excited? Puck drop for tonight\u2019s game is shortly after 7:00 pm. Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin have the call on Monumental Sports Network. See you in the comments.<\/p>\n
