The RMNB Podcast is back after a long holiday hiatus and we’re here once again to talk about the important issues facing our favorite hockey team like Who will win the new season of The Bachelor?

Tuesday night, former Capital Andrew Gordon and I casted another pod and we kinda went off topic. Sure, we discussed the bonkers Caps-Penguins 8-7 (OT) game, what the Caps should do at the trade deadline, and if a hockey team can actually peak at the wrong time. We even answered a bunch of reader questions.

But we also talked about Gordo’s surprisingly epic trip to the World Darts Championship in London, England, which he called the “Greatest Sporting Championship.” I didn’t believe him either until he showed me the below video.

A few takeaways:

• Just imagining a bunch of Swedish hockey players gathering around a TV to watch the Bachelor is very funny to me.
• I said this in the podcast and I’ll reiterate it here. I truly believe in Gordo’s mind that an entire team full of Jay Beagles would beat the Gretzky Oilers’ teams.
• Sports are really full of terrible cliches
• We had a fascinating discussion about system play and why we think the Penguins always beat the Capitals in the big games.
• Gordo and I also chatted about the poor officiating in the Caps/Pens game
• Finally: timeouts, pulling goalies, and what coaching strategies Gordo thinks can change the momentum.
