Top 3 Capitals away games to get excited for in 2022-23

#2 Dec. 27 at New York Rangers

If you’re looking for the perfect getaway for the holidays New York City is the place to do it. Tons of attractions, Times Square, Manhattan and the like. The Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and more. Plus you can check out the lit up Christmas tree over at the Rockefeller Center.

Another reason New York is a good road trip is that Madison Square Garden, “the world’s most famous arena”, is a bucket list destination for NHL and NBA fans alike. Plus if you’re into basketball and are around on Christmas you can kill two birds with one stone by checking out the Knicks game that day.

If you do decide to go to The Garden for a hockey game, just be careful what jersey you decide to wear. We all know how they feel about Tom Wilson.

The Rangers are also going to be a tough divisional matchup. They nearly made it to the Stanley Cup Finals by almost beating the Tampa Bay Lightning in the third round. I was impressed with the atmosphere of MSG last spring and thought to myself wouldn’t it be fun to take a bus or train up to New York for a game.
