Caps vs Penguins pregame: For the Metro - Russian Machine Never Breaks

There’s a scene in the movie That Thing You Do where Tom Hanks is playing a record-label guy, and he’s talking to this scrappy little band who is about to play a big show, and he says, “it’s very important you don’t stink today.”

Don’t know why I thought about that just now.

Anyway, the Caps host the Pens high noon today in DC.

Record 23-27-10 37-17-6
Shot Attempt % 45.8% 51.8%
PDO 98.7 100.5
Power Play 15.8% (27th) 20.6% (14th)
Penalty Kill 81.4% (13th) 84.0% (4th)

Projected Lines

I always get the ones where I have to guess. I’m making 90 percent of this. Actually, don’t even read this.

Updated based on Samantha Pell’s report that Siegenthaler is out.

Ovechkin – Kuznetsov – Wilson
Vrana – Backstrom – Oshie
Hagelin – Eller – Panik
Leipsic – Dowd – Hathaway

Dillon – Carlson
Orlov – Jensen
Kempny – Gudas

The Stakes

It’s simple.

Winner owns the Metro.

Both teams are tired, both teams are coming off bad losses. Let’s go.

Storylines

EBUG!

!Last night was a very special night for sports. An emergency backup goalie named Dave rescued the Carolina Hurricanes and became a story that — I swear to god — people will be talking about decades from now. After Reimer and Mrazek got hurt, 42-year-old Dave Ayres put on a Canes jersey, saved 8 of 10 shots by the Maple Leafs, and won the game.

Then, after their team got embarrassed, Leafs fans gave him a standing ovation. <3

Meanwhile, my friend who I adore is an EBUG skeptic.

I tried to explain why it’s such an appealing story to me, but I think this guy does it better.
