At least you had some nice last words. I'm sure they remembered that.

Maybe the horseshoe fell out of his butt in D.C....

I'd say pretty low chance he plays. He didn't practice with the Bears yesterday so doubt they throw him in, but maybe if they get farther into the playoffs.

The world might be really depressing for us right now but at least Last Of Us is amazing… by also depressing the hell out of us.

Happy tenth anniversary to my drunkest ever tweet.

Not to make excuses, but the NHL's schedule-makers had a big hand in this one as well.

"Fun" fact - if I'm not mistaken, this was the fourth-consecutive time the Caps have faced the Canes in Raleigh after having played the night before (with CAR rested for three of those, home-home the other).

CW is that Leonard slots in on the 3rd line and the question becomes which b6 W comes out. But there's a world in which Leonard becomes a 1RW honeybadger (already a heavily sheltered line) and Protas either massively bolsters the 3rd line or bumps McMike to (same Q remains on who comes out). 🤔

This game is beautifully ugly.

I’d get Miro in there over Frank but yeah something like that.

I'd play him on the wing and can play center if PLD or Strome get hurt.

The Power of Pierre-Luc Dubois Pierre-Luc Dubois shut down one of the league's best yesterday, and continues to show off his skills against opponents' top players.

Assuming Caps do their research, I'd be interested in Pettersson in the summer if the price is right. Caps are great at turning other teams' misfits into gold. All I'm saying is they should at least call and see what the deal is if he's still in VAN this summer.

Not a lot of Caps play big minutes. That could pay off big come playoff time.

As a snow lover, going from potentially 20 inches to literally 0 inches within days is a gut punch.

One of the unusual (and delightful) things about the Caps this year is that when a game has been there to be won, they've nearly always been the one to score the go-ahead goal rather than concede it.

If you guys like long-ass podcasts, @gregyoung.bsky.social and I did an ep of JRR yesterday that'll be up your alley. Look for it... soon. Ish.

Washington Capitals are No. 9 in 2025 NHL prospect pool rankings The Capitals have remodeled their pool quickly, with quality at the top and, finally, depth into the double digits.

Fam, take a minute to appreciate the moment, with the Caps atop the East, Ovi closing in on the record, and a future that may be even brighter than the present.

Assuming his January is over (Chuckie likely draws OTT on Thursday), LT's 8-0-1/.947/1.48 with two shutouts is the best month for a Caps goalie since... Holtby in January 2016-17 (9-0-0/.935/1.82, 3 SO)? Longer?

The Caps are 1st in the league at the end of January... and I have no idea how. They really don't have any game breaking talent (besides maybe Thompson) and definitely need at least 1 more great depth piece. I guess the power friendship is really doing it.

hello kitty in a vegas jersey...for some reason

what in the desert nightmare

It was a great season Commanders. Team’s future is bright.

I wonder what the Caps response will be after that Carolina trade.

O really? That’s good to hear.

Lol
