At this time of the season, a lot of folks who write about hockey will post “takeaways” from games played, things that happened or to be considered as a team goes from one result to the next game. Instead of a “take away,” we present a “bring to.” We are going serve up a hotdish on the upcoming game.
“Hotdish,” for those of you not familiar with the term, is a Midwestern thing, a casserole generally made up of three ingredients with a sauce to bind them together, often brought to social gatherings. So, we are going to offer a “hotdish” to the readers here with three items and something to bind them together to get you thinking and talking about the Caps’ game on Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
