Hey everybody, quick note on the audio for today's show.

Tark is in Tampa Bay, as you would expect for Game 7.

But that means because he was there so quickly that we had to do this podcast over the phone with one another.

It was the only way we could get it done in time, but we knew we had to get one prior to game 7 for you guys to listen to.

So that is why the audio is not up to the usual standards that we strive for on this show.

We hope you can forgive us this once, but it's a game seven in the Eastern Conference final,

so we knew it was important to get it to you.

On to the show.

All you are you? On to the show. This is Joe Beninati.

You're listening to NBC Sports Washington's Capitals Face Off podcast.

Here's your host, J.J. Regan.

Thank you, Joe.

Hello, everyone, and welcome into another edition of the Capitals Face Off podcast.

I'm, of course, your host, the Capitol's correspondent, J.J. Regan, with me today.

He is the Capitol's insider.

He's the Anakin Skywalker to my Darth Vader.

He is Targ Elbuchar, Tark?

Okay.

That was better than moves.

That was terrible.

And, of course, that sound you hear.

If Tark is Anakin Skywalker, then he must be our Jar Jar Jarre Barn. He is the cameraman of Shorn there. Mike D. Mike? Jar Jax, man, you've got to get a better reference, bud. I mean, if I were going to be a Star Wars character, I want to be above a pet. I'm going to get an intergalactic family hunter. I have got to know. Everyone would like to be Boba's fat.
