News/Notes:​

• Thursday's game also closes the book on November for the Capitals, who are 9-4-0 this month, including 7-1-0 at home. Washington will be aiming to match a club record for wins (10) in the month of November, achieved twice, most recently in 2010-11 when the Caps were 10-2-2 in the season's second month.
• Washington has won three straight games, matching its longest winning run of the season. Since returning from a dismal two-game road trip to Nashville and Colorado in mid-November, the Caps have won four of five games
• The Kings won their final home game before the current road trip, taking a 2-1 overtime decision over their crosstown rivals, the Anaheim Ducks, on Saturday night. Los Angeles then earned a 4-1 win over the Red Wings in Detroit on Tuesday.
• Los Angeles opened up a four-game road trip with that contest in Detroit. After taking on the Caps on Thursday, the Kings move on to St. Louis and finally Chicago on the back half of their current trip.
• Los Angeles is a perfect 3-0-0 this season against Metro Division opponents.

[kings11]

[KingCanadain1976]

What's up with the Mitchel immigration hold ups? Looks like he's still not gotten his paperwork. Hopefully there is no skeleton in his closet holding up the paperwork.

I'm from the government, and I'm here to help. Said no one ever.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

This should be a good one. Could REALLY use two here to rebuild momentum.

Is their back up playing?Btw Brown in my opinion is the most improved player over a long stretch.Kopi is a star and should be scoring.

Holtby is starting

 

[Bandit]

Just let Orpik interfere, that’s fine.

 

[Sol]

That was a brutal turnover by Dowd.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Hey, Muzzin did something that wasn't stupid. /clap

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Come on boys score the first one for a change please

 

[Sol]

That was a late hit on Martinez. Bad turn over, and Quick went fishing. Oof.

 

[Bandit]

That was a late f***ing hit on Martinez too. Puck was on the other side of the ice and it’ll opened up the middle for Kuznetzov

 

[KingsCourt]

Come on boys score the first one for a change please

So much for that

 

[kingsholygrail]

Turnovers turnovers turnovers.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Another unforced turnover, and Quick is way too aggressive with that poke check.

 

[Bandit]

Come on boys score the first one for a change please

No.

 

[Sol]

I'm seeing a lot of penalties ignored by the refs. Hopefully it's not one of those one side games where they favor a team.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

why is MacDermid in against a fast team like washington ?

 

[Sol]

Oh man.. A lot infractions in this game by the Caps.

 

[Sol]

Another unforced turnover, and Quick is way too aggressive with that poke check.

Yeah he went fishing for no reason.

Some seriously dumb turnovers too.

 

[Bandit]

Slashing, interference... no problem. Bet we take the first penalty.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Doughty can't stop skating because he thought he was slashed. It's shit like that that drives me up a wall about him sometimes.
