Public Skate: Bruins vs. Capitals, 1:00 PM EST

- NESN, how we've missed you!

- It's the final stretch run for Torey Krug's Calder Cup bid.

- The Bruins will play the Caps again on March 6 and March 29.

- The Bruins highest scorer (Brad Marchand, 20 goals) has less than half the number of goals that Alexander Ovechkin has (41). Maybe he's still drowning his gold medal sorrows into a beer.

- The Capitals are fighting for the last wild card spot.

- David Krejci has a four-game point streak.

- All the Zyrtec D in the Boston area has been safely stored away from Nicklas Backstrom.

- It's been far too long since we had Tuukka Time in a Bruins uniform.

- Let's hope for minimal Claude face today.

- Also, this:

- This is unrelated to the game or this game thread, but I miss Ryan Spooner. (Providence lost 4-2 last night.)
