Kings radio guy, Nick Nickson, calling the game for the Caps.
He is very even on his calls. I am sure Caps fans are going to not like him.

Joe B is great, his sidekick not so much.

Sick and can't talk.
It will be a rough game for Daryl, no prep time and Caps fans don't know him.

Not to bring up swampy things here, just an observation

I watched both the Penguins/Hawks and Caps/Ducks games in their entirety today and it is abundantly clear that OV > Sid (for much for than just facial hair)

When Ovie plays a hockey game that's worth a damn, I'll start paying attention.

Until then, he's just a regular season performer.

The guy who is 23rd all-time in playoff points per game is just a regular season performer?


Heck of a fun game last night. The 3rd player on the first line with OV/Backstrom has rotated a lot, but Burakovsky has spent little time in that role, so it was nice to see the chemistry there. I'm guessing we'll see him on the first line for a few games.
