I’ll assume from your previous post about Lundqvist allowing fewer than average goals outside the SC area that the Caps have scored more than NYR allowed, but I’m curious about how close it is…

According to Comcast CSN will be showing the Wizards game and I think VS is going to show Tampa Bay-Pittsburgh. So does this mean The Caps will be on CSN+?

I know I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again now. Your numbers crunching and explanation have made me a more knowledgable hockey fan and my Caps game watching even more enjoyable. Thanks for the lessons.

So there’s a 43% chance I won’t be able to go home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Good to know.
