    Anyone in the DC/VA/MD area going to watch the game tonight?

    If so, where?

    I'm thinking Grevey's or Bugsy's, but I'm afraid both might be overrun with Caps fans (and people pretending to care about the Caps so they have an excuse to get drunk on a Thursday).

    I heard that this game is blacked out in the Washington DC area, so there is no reason for you to go out and try to find the game. You might as well stay home and get caught up on work around the house.

      Blacked out even on center ice? That makes no sense.

      Or does this have something to do with my sports curse?

        Would I try to deceive you into not seeing the game? Are you accusingme of that. I would never do that!

          What about Jimmy's out in Herndon. I'm not sure if I'm going to go out there tonight. I might just watch it at home.....I'll probably roll out there Saturday for sure though.

            I thought about that but I live in Alexandria and work in Dumfries- getting to Herndon at 7 pm on a weeknight isn't easy.

            Bugsy's is by far the closest to my house, but it will probably be overrun with Caps fans, which is why I'm considering Grevey's. It's not the Buffalo hangout it used to be, but it should have a much more favorable ratio.

            It's not going to be televised locally unless you have Center Ice.

              Thanks to completely random occurrences on Facebook, I made a Sabres friend here in the area... He's already hooked me up with free tickets to a Sabres/Canes game and he invited me over to his place to watch the game tonight. Yay Internet!

                    I guess it must be Dora's night out.

                      I don't have a 96" screen or 7.1 Surround, but I do have a 50" screen and a 5.1 surround so I'd love to watch it at home.

                      But, I don't want to pay $80 for CI for what might only end up being one game (the next 3 games are on NBC or VS, so if the series ends in 4, then I just got screwed).

                          Do you have DTV, Dish, or Cable?

                          I have DTV and called into their customer support about half way through the season and asked for a better price on center ice. Firs they said no so I just bluffed and said "Ok, I think I'll go ahead and downgrade to a lower package then." The rep ended up giving it to me for $30 bucks. Not bad. You should try it.

                            I have DTV.

                            I already threatened to cancel when they cut VS and wouldn't give me a better price on CI, and they called my bluff. If I could get it for $30 I'd do it in a second because I'll probably blow that much on food and booze at the bar anyway.
