His story!

It's

He's going to

His spectacular history making continues.

It's not a dream.

It's not a desert barrage.

It's Lord Stanley and he is coming to Washington.

We finally have the Capitol schedule. It is out.

We get to look at that today on the Capitol Stock podcast.

It's going to look a little bit different.

You're only going to see a few teams.

And one of the best parts about it, you've got a little mini-serie.

That plus Alan May is going to join us.

Alexa Shaw is on with us as well.

Capital Talk podcast starts right now.

Hello, Caps fans. You know when you see all of us again, hockey season is soon approaching.

That's JJ Regan, Nick Ashu, Alan May. I'm Alexa Shaw. Guys, we knew the season was coming mid-January. We knew the division the caps were in, but now we officially know their schedule open up with four road games on Super Bowl Sunday. They play Philly and they have eight back-to-backs. Alan, what was your initial thoughts when you saw the first schedule? Well, the biggest thing to me is just that, you know, the bunches of games, and I knew this for about a month that they would be playing only in the division. They'd be playing two games at a time pretty much throughout the season. And to me, it's exciting. I'm not going to handicap it or break it down as to like what I don't like. I just love the fact that you're always playing back to back

and there's going to be animosity built up. I hope it goes back to the old days when I played in the Patrick division. They called it the smash trick and we just got after it all the time. I hope this season, even though I'm full of love and it's this time of year, I'm all about the hate in my hockey. and I just hope that they get after a JJ

because we haven't seen this in forever

the back to backs,

I don't know how many hundreds of penalty minutes I used to have in that second game, but I absolutely love this type of hockey. And I hope it brings the dirty back into the game. Yeah, I'm really interested with this. It's not the three and four nights like we thought it was. It's condensed, but it's not as condensed as we expected it to be. I get a different number every time I count because I'm looking at it as a spreadsheet, but I think it's eight back-to-backs in total of back-to-back nights. So not overly taxing, and that's especially important when you're looking at Ilya

Sampsonoff really shouldering the load for the team this year as the goalie.
