This year we were able to return to the RBC Center in Raleigh for the first time since March 2009. The NHL schedule only allowed for a Monday game, but at least it was a holiday. Our loyal Roadies were again treated to an amazing tailgate spread before heading inside for some live hockey. It was fortunate we were so well fed, as it surely helped to lift our spirits while the Hurricanes blew threw our guys for a 5-0 shutout loss.

Coming off a strong win against the Sabres at home on Friday night, the Caps travelled to Columbus for a Saturday night meeting with the struggling Blue Jackets.
