Open Source Intelligence:

If I've figured things out right, the Devils.com Preview will be here once they put it up. Otherwise I have nothing for you other than the links above about yesterday's game.

What Do I Expect Today?:

Well, I don't expect a repeat of yesterday that's for sure. The Caps will have to once again take full advantage of the breaks that the Devils give them only the Devils are sure to give the Caps fewer chances than they got yesterday. The Caps need another convincing win here today in order to build any momentum for the remainder of the season.

Editorial Note For The Loyal Readers Of This Blog:

Due to the doom currently enveloping the city, I will not be watching or attending today's game. I now must leave to go to the grocery store to stock up on bread, milk, toilet paper, and kitty litter. Once I have achieved my success in battle, I will then retreat to cower in a corner of my home to ride out the doom. I wish you all Godspeed and the best of luck! In other words, no Post-Mortem later today.
