Caps should have jumped on the Duck's plane to Detroit and they should have played this game at Joe Louis Arena tonight :D

Allright everyone, what are we drinking tonight?

Got a brand new bottle of Maker's to open.

good thing I went to the pubs in the city hoping to miss just the first period and finding out about the cancellation. I don't like the idea of the sunday game being cancelled, but can we really complain given our huge lead in the east and that'll be more days Carlson/Beagle won't miss in the long run. Not sure about Orpik given the information throw around our boards about him and his return.

Just got home driving from Tysons Corner to Springfield and smart move to cancel. Highways are holding up for now but it was clearly getting bad out there. Though was still looking forward to some Capitals blizzard hockey.

Dude.

Didn't you get stuck in a snow-storm from Richmond to the DC Metro a few years back?

You have the brave.

I am surprised they tried to sneak this in just 2 hours earlier... destined to fail but at least they pulled the plug before it was too late.

I wish CSN would post those Ovi specials they did on their website. That would make for some good substitute viewing.

I DVR'ed them, so that's what I'll be watching tonight. One of the (few) benefits of moving back to the DC area from California is being able to watch the local teams without paying for extra packages.

Then again, I didn't have winter for 5 years when I lived in San Diego so...

Just a Scandinavian person wondering here...have been reading up about the news about the blizzard that is hitting the Washington area, and I'm a bit confused, because the numbers of snow aren't really anything special by our standards, but over there it seems to disrupt the way of life completely? Why is that? Is snow so uncommon in there?

This should help put in in perspective below. But as a resident of the DC metro area since '81 15" plus puts it over the limit of what the area can handle.

Well I had P&P RPG game session plans in Richmond. And that Dec. 19/18 snow storm that hit saturday I was like I HAVE SUBIE WRX POWA AND HAVE NO DEPENDENTS SO ROAR/darwin awards candidate so I went down. Actually only took 2.75 hours or so but man the crap I saw was off the hook 95s (dodging a kitten in the middle of the road..a porsche boxer on the northbound side going 5 mph and bottle necking a mile backup of cars..endless big rigs and cars giving up and plowing themselves voluntarily or involuntarily into snow banks on the side of the road).

I paid for it coming back. Left at 8pm (and there was snow down in Richmond but the roads were just wet) and it took me 8 hours to get back to DC area. I showed up at my condo parking lot confronted by no parking spots naturally with about 3.5 feet (due to plowage) to deal with before even clearing the normal snow accumulation. I had one glove and no shovel. So used a disc golf putter disc and spent 45 minutes to get a spot low enough I could reasonably escape the next time, heh.

I was only in it this time to squeeze in a cardio session and lift workout at my work in Tysons because when your are getting oldz its what you gotta do, lulz.
