NHL Hockey: Boston Bruins v. Washington Capitals An interesting game tonight.

A game I'd really like to watch. Oh well, watching Celtics-Heat as the consolation prize....would have been doing a lot of "back" pressing between these 2 games.....

Anyways, what makes this game interesting is Boston is resting 16 players, bascialy their 1-2-3 lines. The Caps are going with their regulars...Ovetchkin will probably have his best game of the year tonight....but I'd love to see the 4-5-6 lines going at the Caps. I don't want to see any Bruin injuring any of the Caps....the optics would be atrocious. Play them tough, though....

Bear in mind that the playoffs start after tonight's game and the Caps and Bruins will be meeting in the 1st round.

Big downer for the Caps if this ends up tied or even 2-1 in their favor.

Awfully close game considering Boston was resting many of its starters.

Washington will be tough in the playoffs. Anthony Mantha was a good addition. Likewise, Taylor Hall has bolstered the roster for the B's.
