Top 3 Capitals away games to get excited for in 2022-23
#1 Feb. 18 Stadium Series at Carolina Hurricanes
This year’s Stadium Series will take place on Saturday Feb. 18 at Carter Finley Stadium on the campus of North Carolina State University. That’s over in Raleigh and when they announced this back in March, I’ll say this… myself and many Caps fans are eyeing a road trip down there to watch hockey in the great outdoors.
The Caps are 3-0 in outdoor games. That includes their lone road outdoor contest in the 2011 Winer Classic between the Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins. The Caps won that game 3-1 and around 30,000 Caps fans made the the trip up to the Steel City.
The road trip to Raleigh is about a four and a half hour drive from Northern Virginia. Or a quick flight could work too. The Caps live rent free in the heads of Carolina Hurricanes fans. And they were so annoying after they beat the Caps in the first round in 2019 I even called them “Pittsburgh south.”
Wouldn’t it be nice to return the favor, takeover their stadium where they have the “home ice advantage” and deliver another win outside to go 4-0?
