Ha - it’s my thing ha. Happy to help.

Yep! They have allowed three SHGs in a single game 5
times so would guess it’s happened a few other times. Still not good ha!

Happened at least one other time, April 7, 2006, allowed two on the same power play against Carolina. They also allowed another for good measure later in the game.

I want to say they have, but that likely was when they were in the expansion era when anything was possible. But will check.

Bucco Bruces.

The Boston… patriots.

Thanks, yes, it’s not good for anyone if this happens. Crazy to think not long ago there were 3 beat writers.

With the Washington Post Sports department possibly facing massive budget cuts, the paper’s history with the Capitals dating back to the team’s first game could be in for a major change: x.com/tedstarkey/s...

Was a fun time to look back at a Cap who scored a lot of significant goals in his time in DC.

This year? The standings are so weird that the Capitals are six out of first overall in the East despite being in 12th place. Normal year six out is probably third in the division.

Mascot Express.

It’s little surprise that a lot of team are going back to those looks.

Washington Capitals 2025-26: Every Game Is A Record-Breaker (TM)

No Wayne or Gary. Pfft.

Sabres were actually good when they were the home whites…

Indeed. Such a great app. Shame it’s zombified.

There’s a lot to be said that Toronto took off when Vlad Jr. signed, and the Nats took off when Harper left. Need that distraction out the door.

Playing one forward and five goalies is the future, Joe.

Capitals’ 20-year affiliation with Hershey among AHL’s best - Hockey HotStove Twenty years ago, the Washington Capitals went back to make the Hershey Bears their affiliate for the first time since 1984. It's been a big success.

The Capitals and Hershey are celebrating 20 years of affiliation this season, and it made for a uniquely anticipated preseason game at Giant Center. hockeyhotstove.com/capitals-20-...

Update for today’s show.

Due to weather concerns in the Philly area, we’ve pushed the start time to 8pm ET.

Yep, they clearly didn’t care if they dragged the team down waiting for their asking price to be met. Although devaluing your product certainly doesn’t help long term either.

It’s amazing how low the Lerner stock has gone. They don’t even have the MASN dispute excuse anymore.

Yep. It’s small market payroll at big market prices!

Yep. And in a way winning the 2019 WS seemed to satisfy their bucket list and then decided they didn’t need to do it again. Team was hell bent on winning before, and now barely cares to finish .500.

Yep, and the guys who turned out decent in the Soto deal are already on the block. Difference between 2012 and now is at least the Nationals spent money to bolster the young lineup. Now they seem committed to pushing the reset button. Again.

That’s the thing about rebuilds. It’s easy to start. Not easy to get out of it.

I remember with the Scherzer deal people were confident they’d be back by 2025. (Checks calendar)

(And I just saw your post after the last one ha.)

They’re working on becoming the Buffalo Sabres of MLB.
