By Aaron Holm -
At the very least I'll get to watch my cat, the destroyer of hockey pucks, working his magic tonight once again. The funny thing about it is that I will probably find myself rooting for the Capitals in the playoffs, but I'm all but too aware my disappointment in that team will have it's day. A tiny glimmer of hope, dashed by a expectation that as always, the Caps will falter in the playoffs. Be sure to head over to Jaspers Rink for all the latest on the Capitals.
Last week, this team was only slightly depressing, but winning. This week, they have just been depressing. So to lighten the mood a little, here's a jive little jam coming to you from the way-back machine.
