It's Almost That Time
Think you're anxious? What about the 12 Capitals who will be making their NHL playoff debut tonight? That's right, there's a dozen of them, and that's not counting Coach Bruce Boudreau.
"To me, we've been in the playoffs for a month and a half," Boudreau said moments ago, shrugging off the suggestion that inexperience could play a role in the series. "This is just an extension of it. It's an exciting extension."
"I'm really excited for the guys that they got where they got," he added. "But our goal was always to go further, not just to make the playoffs. We haven't achieved what we want. Until we do, we'll just stay the course."
In case you're just joining us, check out the Caps' lineup for Game 1 against the Flyers here. Also, I'm hearing the Flyers are going to have defensemen Jason Smith (shoulder) and Randy Jones (flu) and center Danny Briere (knee) in the lineup.

hey dave, what kind of link did he give you? If its TVU, you need TVU player, which you can download. SopCast, I'm not sure about, but I think its a VLC media player.

Fairly solid first period. Although solid doesn't win Cups. Let's go Caps!!!

I've got Versus, but I'm just outside of "the DC area" according to Comcast.

@deadkings08
I'm in central PA and Versus is blacked out, but I have the game on both Comcast DC and Comcast Philly. But of course I'm watching Joe and Locker. Can't stand the Philly announcers.
Posted by: Tess | April 11, 2008 7:57 PM | Report abuse
My Comcast HD is crystal clear (at the risk of sounding like a Comcast commercial.) Anyway, I see that Versus is blacked out in the local market. I feel bad for a friend of mine that has RCN...he's been talking about the game all week.
