The Capitals open on the road this evening at Carolina and at home tomorrow night. If the tomorrow wasn’t a Penn State game, I’d be there. Nonetheless, I plan to watch tonight’s game with some Caps fans downtown.

I think they can sneak into the playoffs if they are healthy. The team had a great offseason and I expect Alex Ovechkin to break out of his sophomore “slump” and score over 100 points again.

I’ll be checking in occasionally on the Caps this season, but if you really want to keep up with them, check out these blogs:

I hope I didn’t miss anyone. Drop the puck!
