Tonight, the Canes will get another crack at the Capitals, who have been idle since they ruined our fun on Saturday night.
Carolina helped itself into a guaranteed playoff spot when they beat Tampa on Monday night, and they will get a chance to help themselves into a division title tonight. If they can win this (or any one game for the remainder of the season), they will clinch the division. Tampa can help Carolina by losing, but they are idle tonight. Anyway, Carolina would prefer to control its own destiny.
As I've said probably 20 times by now, Carolina will be facing Washington a lot down the stretch. This will be the second meeting in five days. Next week, the teams will meet three more times in a span of five days including two in a row at MCI Center.
A small avian creature has told me that Josef Vasicek will be in the lineup for tonight's NON-TELEVISED game. However, the newspaper article I read in the News and Disturber states that he'll be slotted in for Monday's game against the Caps. Not tonight.
We'll be looking for Eric Staal to break out of his "slump". He and Viva both had nice scoring streaks snapped recently.
