[usiel]

Late.

February 26 vs. Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center

Time: 1:00 p.m.

TV: NBCSW

Radio: Capitals Radio 24/7, 106.7 The Fan



Washington Capitals (29-26-6)

Buffalo Sabres (30-23-4)

The Capitals open up a critical four-game road trip on Sunday afternoon in Buffalo, their last extended road journey of the season. Sunday's date with the Sabres also concludes a set of weekend back-to-back matinee matches for the Caps, who started the weekend off right with a 6-3 triumph over the New York Rangers on Saturday afternoon at Capital One Arena.

Saturday's win ended Washington's longest regulation losing streak in nearly two decades - a six game slide - and also halted the team's five-game losing streak on home ice. T.J. Oshie and Evgeny Kuznetsov scored twice each to help the Caps shake off the offensive doldrums that have plagued the team throughout the third quarter of the season.

Buffalos are big and strong, diffuclt to intimidate.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Hate when the have games on NHLN back to the radio

 

[HeyMattyB]

Heads-up: This game is on NHL Network for any non-local fans, which means you're probably screwed unless you pay extra for the channel on cable or have one of the few streaming services who offer the channel (for an extra charge, of course).

I use Hulu Live, so I'm screwed. NHL Network is the stupidest, least-accessible hockey channel in the NHL's convoluted TV/streaming broadcasting agreement.

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Walton isnt even calling the game smh

 

[shtorm2005]

NAK with Hagelin level shot on goal.

Walton isnt even calling the game smh

His younger brother passed away in a plan crash.

 

[lotty83]

NAK with Hagelin level shot on goal.

He really needs to try something else on breakaways besides shooting directly into the goalie from 15 feet out.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

His younger brother passed away in a plan crash.

thats awful

 

[usiel]

Pretty fire wagon hockey early.

Pretty fire wagon hockey early.

Don't worry. Irwin will save us.

 

[Brian23]

Neither of these teams are doing anything to stop the opposition in the neutral zone. It's just entry with speed over and over from both sides.

And Buffalo finally buries one.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Don't worry. Irwin will save us.

There you go. Terrible pinch by Irwin and McIlrath does absolutely nothing right at the other end to cover for him.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Beautiful tankage.

 

[usiel]

Caps trying to play Buffalo's game here they need to 90's New Jersey this game in the neutral zone.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Way to blow that coverage Strome…

 

[shtorm2005]

F***

 

[lotty83]

How Irwin and McIllrath have stayed in the lineup this long is just beyond me. Can't even fathom it.

 

[McVechkin]

I mean what else do you expect with mix of bottom 4 nhl and AHL caliber defense corp.
