COVID19 is a reality. And the NHL where our Capitals play has ground to a crashing halt as a result.

But the Caps did manage to get one game in during the last full week. Anna and I go over what happened. Sit back and enjoy my avoiding a stroke as it happened to have ended in a (YUCK) shootout.

On to very real health concerns...our Special Guest for this episode is Ryan Fines who is a health worker for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Given this unique situation we hockey fans find ourselves in, I personally asked him to come on the show and share his wealth of knowledge given his experience in dealing with outbreaks and disease control. I think you will find what he has to say both useful as well as reassuring.

Ryan is of course a rabid Caps fan and stays on to talk Caps hockey with us. You will want to pay attention to his take on things like the coaching staff as well as how they need to deal with the potentially long break. Especially the coaching staff :)

Apologies for the episode length but there was a LOT to cover...

From all of us here at the Powerplay Point Podcast we urge you to follow the current health guidelines as closely as possible as you will be saving both your life and someone else's by doing it. Please stay safe and we thank you for your support of both Our Caps and the show! Hockey will come back one day soon enough...
