  • Bruce Boudreau has been keeping an eye on the Caps, but he’s also been following the Bears’ playoff run – where it all began for Gabby. [Fox43]
  • A few leftovers from Monday night’s disappointing overtime loss for Hershey… [Caps365, Bears, PennLive, Chocolate Hockey, S&S]
  • …and Game 7 awaits tonight. 7:00 pm on Monumental, Fox43, and NHL Network. (There’s also some game happening in the NHL but no one really cares about that.)
  • Finally, happy 49th birthday to Frédéric Cassivi!
