Not sure I like this...this game will mean more to us than the Caps. While the Capitals continue to choke in the playoffs, they have no problem getting to the playoffs. We're still a young team that isn't a lock to make the playoffs. Playing on bad ice hurts us, especially this late in the season. We are undefeated in outdoor games though in recent games though.
What, were the Blackhawks not available?
Average high temperature for Washington in March is around 13 degrees.
Temperatures reached as high as 35 Celsius during the Las Vegas exhibition game between the Rangers and Kings in 1991. I'm pretty sure humidity is the bigger issue between the two anyway.Ya really. I just realized - this game isn't in January - it's March - In Washington! Too warm, no?
Didn't someone say that there would be no alternative jerseys unless it was an outdoor game in the other thread? Maybe we get to see those red jerseys afterall.

Washington is an amazing city to visit if you love history and politics.
That being said, the endless chants of "USA, USA, USA" from the Naval Academy students will get tiring real fast.

Assuming the Capitals don't re-sign Shattenkirk and Oshie, they might have only 3 American born players on their roster next season. That's if they don't sign or trade for other American born players.I would laugh tbh. Their team is led by Russian and Swedish star while the Leafs team is led by young American phenom.
The Blackhawks and Penguins Stadium Series game was held on March 1, 2014.Will this be the latest an outdoor game has been held? It could potentially be after the trade deadline...
34,000 seated according to our old friend Wikipedia. Record capacity of just over 38,000 in 2013.Does anyone know the capacity of this arena?
