Sometimes there is an enigma so deep that it overwhelms even the most knowledgeable Capitals hockey fan. And for these questions, we turn to the Great Zamboni - the power that has more answers than Google, and is more reliable than Dave Steckel in the face off circle (if that's even possible). Even Chuck Norris consults the Great Zamboni from time to time, but he won't admit it to anyone.
Today's question for the Great Zamboni comes from Rock The Red reader Griswold00 who ponders: "With the Caps being the hottest ticket in town, how should I go about getting tickets to a game? For Cheap?!"

Yesterday we debued the Joe Corvo Especial, but maybe you had that one night full of youthful debauchery that was filled with more shots than you care to admit remember, and it left you with a bad taste in your mouth (litterally). Motzko Man returns with another photoshop geared to those of our audience that enjoy the taste of icy cold suds while playing the CSN game. Enjoy!

In the fourth game of the Caps five game home-stand, the boys faced those pesky Hemroidicanes of Carolina.The Roids have played the Caps tough all year, being the only real competition in the division. The Caps and the Canes split the last 14 meetings until now as the Caps drop the Canes for the third time this year in OT.

The Carolina Hurricanes return to the Verizon Center tonight seeking to do what they did back on December 28th: Beat the Capitals… in DC… in regulation. After falling to the Stars Monday night in overtime, the Caps are looking to extend their home points streak (because that’s what you say when you squeeze a point out of a streak-ending OT loss). The Canes on the other hand, are hoping to show the recently traded Joe Corvo and Scotty Walker that “the grass ain’t always greener” and keep the offense rolling after a 4-0 victory over the Thrashers on Sunday.
As Atlanta saw on Sunday, the Caps will need to stay out of the box or step up their PK efforts. Carolina was 50% on the power play Sunday night, scoring all 4 of their goals with the man advantage.
Eric “I’m in the bathroom” Staal looks to be the biggest threat to the Caps, scoring 3 goals and notching 5 assists to total 8 points in 3 games against the Capitals this season. On the Caps side of things, Backstrom and Ovechkin each have 5 points against the Canes this year (Backstrom with 2 goals and 3 assists and Ovechkin with 5 assists).
Be on the lookout for Brian Pothier, who made his deubt with Carolina March 4th against the Senators and notched his point (an assist) as a Hurricane on March 7th against the Thrashers. Pothier has 4 goals and 8 assists in 44 games this year. Also be on the watch for Oskar Osala, making his Carolina debut tonight after going to Carolina/Albany in the deal with Pothier that brought Joe Corvo to DC. Aftter a sizzling rookie season (scoring 23 goals and adding 14 assists on the rookie line), Osala hit a “sophomore slump” with a production far below his projection. However, in a less offensive role, Osala learned more defensive responsibility and how to park himself in front of the net. It’ll be interesting to see if his newly aquired skills in a lesser role land him a better shot at the NHL than he had with an already Left-wing-congested Capitals organization.

As Washington Capitals General Manager George McPhee worked his magic during last weeks trade deadline, little did he know that former Carolina Hurricane's blueliner Joe Corvo would be bringing a little something extra to help provide a kick to the second leg of the Caps' season.

The Washington Capitals lost for the first time in 2010 tonight, dropping the middle contest of a 5-game home stand in a shootout to the Dallas Stars, 4-3. It was a see-saw of a game for the Caps, who looked aggressive and lead the Stars 2-0 on goals by Tom Poti and Alex Ovechkin after throwing 42 of their 53 shots on goal in the first 40 minutes. Dallas' backstop Marty Turco, of whom just returned from having a golden horseshoe lodged in his Jimmy Johnson, was the only reason Dallas was able to stay in the game so long- making improbable saves, turning away 17 shots from the Alex's, and biding time until his team could crawl back into the contest. After 3 goals on 6 shots in just over 6 minutes of the third period, DC was shook from it's complacency and sent scrambling to remain in the game. With a new haircut and Momma OV in the stands, the Great 8 broke Stephane Robidas' ankles and lit the lamp for the second time to tie the game at 3 with 3:16 remaining to send the game to extra innings. After a scoreless 4-on-4 overtime, the Stars were able to end the Capitals' franchise-best win streak at 13 behind Loui Eriksson's shoot-out goal.
Marty Turco is now 4-0-1 all time against Washington. Learn more after the jump.

As the ageless Schoolhouse Rock song tells us, "Three is a magic number, yes it is- it's a magic number." As it important as it was growing up, the number three is even more important to the Washington Capitals- as it's their magic number. Three Washington wins, or three losses by the Atlanta Thrashers will lock up a third straight Southeast Division title, and third straight playoff appearance for the Caps.
All this with 17 games left in the books.
Three could also be a magic number for Caps Captain Alex Ovechkin, who's looking for his third straight Hart Memorial and "Rocket" Richard Trophies, as well as his third straight Lester B. Pearson Award.

This weekend brought more points, more victories, and more milestones to Hershey. With Saturday's 4-0 win over the Wilkes Barre-Scranton Penguins and Sunday's 4-2 win over the Adirondack Phantoms, the Bears continued their stellar 2009-2010 season.
The Bears now boast a record of 49-12-0-2, have reached the 100 point mark, clinched a playoff spot, and need only 5 more points to claim the East Division Title... with 5 weeks remaining in the regular season.
In the 2nd period of Saturday's contest against the Penguins Andrew Gordon and Keith Aucoin both hit the 30-goal mark. In Sunday's game against Adirondak Boyd Kane hit the 20-goal mark and Bryan Helmer notched his 387th career AHL assist. Helmer now leads all-time for AHL defensemen with assists.
Also in Sunday's game? The Bears broke the overall professional hockey record of 22 consecutive home victories with a win. The new record is now 23 straight home wins.
Get up close and personal with Jay Beagle and the rest of the Bears, after the jump.
