It's something of a night of firsts for Off Wing Opinion. Like usual, we'll have a team at Verizon Center covering the Caps and their home game against the Lightning. Ken Berard will be in the press box and Kate McGovern will be along the glass with her camera.
But along the banks of the Anacostia at RFK Stadium, Ellen Blanchard and I will be taking in the second leg of D.C. United's CONCACAF Champions' Cup quarterfinal match against C.D. Olimpia of Honduras. At Ellen's urging, we applied for full season press credentials and the folks at D.C. United were happy to oblige. As part of our application, we used the guidelines we developed with the Capitals over the NHL offseason to make our case, and the media relations rep with United mentioned them as one of the reasons we were approved.
Expect the regular Caps coverage tonight, with everything from the United match come tomorrow.
