The Boston Bruins welcome the Washington Capitals to the TD Fleetmut Centarden tonight, although I'm sure they won't be rolling out the red carpet. The Bruins have certainly been struggling this year while Washington, a once dreadful franchise has been riding high all season. They have held the top spot in the Eastern Conference for (virtually) the entire season and are 10-0-0 in their last ten games! The last 10 games for the Bruins are 10 that the fans wish never happened as they've struggled to go 1-7-2.
Tim Thomas will start in net for the good guys while Jose Theodore will man the pipes (TWSS) for the Capitals.
Lets be serious though, no one really cares about this game. The only reason people will watch, the only reason it will be on Sportscenter, the only reason it will be talked about on the radio tomorrow is one reason:

That's right people, everyone will want to watch this game because of snaggletooth Ovechkin, who may or may not be the abandoned step-son of Richard Kiel (of Happy Gilmore fame).
Thanks to Sports Illustrated for this one

For the Bruins to win this game though, they will have to find a way to stop the Capitals high powered offense (1st in the NHL with 3.83 goals per game), incredible power play (26.3% success, 1st in the NHL) and star players like Baby Kiel, Semin and Backstrom.
