Per Tarik:

Update, 10:17 p.m.: The Caps just sent out the following release:

As of 10 p.m. ET Saturday, the Washington Capitals vs. Pittsburgh Penguins game scheduled for 12 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 7, at Verizon Center remains as scheduled. The Penguins are en route to Washington, D.C., and are expected to arrive tonight.

Break out the shovels, boots and snowpants... or, perhaps, the TV remote. It could still be tough for fans to make it to Verizon Center tomorrow. Metrobus, MetroAccess and above-ground stations are will be closed, while road conditions remain treacherous.

Omg now you know why I hate Tyler Sloan.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it just me, but why does it seem like the majority of Crosby's goals are based off of poor defensive play and positioning rather than actual shot skill. Seems like nobody gets lucky bounces and empty nets more than this guy.

Yeah but no offense that's not his fault, blame our ****** lack of competition on the defensive end.

Yeah it's no doubt our fault. Crosby is talented, he puts himself in proper position but it's definitely something that annoys me.
