Sunday Roundup - Gamenight: Leafs @ Caps

[AP Preview - WashingtonCaps.com Preview]
Tonight - until the puck drops, at least - it's all about one man.
Read about him in the front page sidebar and watch this video:
Embrace the history, but don't forget that two big points are on the line against a team that has beaten New Jersey, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, the Isles and Atlanta since the Caps last saw them three weeks ago (while also dropping games to Boston, Dallas and the Islanders).
Elsewhere 'Round the Rinks:
Thom Loverro's got a column worth reading today.... Speaking of columnists, take note: Larry Brooks has some really smart things to say.... Stefan Della Rovere's mid-term grade is in, and it's real good.... Michal Neuvirth lost his AHL debut in a game in which his head coach was ejected.... Today's Cap of the Day? Who else but Number Eleven.

Ted, I love you buddy, but . . .
please stop with the whining yet again about receiving nasty emails from lunatics. (RE: Loverro’s column). Pullleeeze! In this day and age the crazy folks do indeed take advantage of their ability to torment anonymously. If you can’t press the ‘Delete’ button fast enough, then stop opening your mail.
Ted, the lunatics are everywhere. By constantly whining and crying you are letting them know that they are ‘getting to you’. Which is their raison d’etre. Rise above, man! Rise above!!
Delete! Delete! Delete!

Della Rovere just scored Canada’s 14th goal against Kazakhstan. He looked like he almost felt bad doing it. (Kazakhstan has not scored.)
