The Caps are going through the morning skate right now. It would appear there are a couple of minor tweaks to the lineup. The top two lines remain the same from Chicago, but Brooks Laich and Boyd Gordon have been flopped and Eric Fehr is in green with the third line.
Ovechkin-Backstrom-Kozlov
Fleischmann-Fedorov-Semin
Cooke-Laich-Fehr
Brashear-Gordon-Bradley-Laing
The area around the arena here is pretty crazy. It is easy to tell a tornado came through here last week. There are windows missing from hotels (the Westin is the most prominent-looking hotel in the city and it is weird to see one side look normal and the other like a checkerboard from all the missing windows). I had to walk around the Olympic Park to get from one side of the CNN building to the Philips Arena entrance. There are these large columns that encircle the park that look kind of like Olympic torches and two of them fell down from the storm. One of the buildings across the street from the park looks like someone took a knife and cut half of it off. It is some scary-looking stuff for sure.

If you walk down Peachtree St near Five Points, it's really crazy how much damage there is to some of the buildings and how much broken glass there is. The Westin is the most prominent because it's such noticeable building but some of the other ones fared even worse; a lot of them look like someone just poked holes in them. What's even weirder is that some buildings are torn up and ones fifty yards away look fine (although I'm told this is pretty normal with tornadoes)
