Caps at Flames pregame: There is also a big baseball game

October 22, 2019 6:24 pm

The first ten games of the 2019-20 season are in the books and the Washington Capitals are 6-2-2! How should we celebrate? With a 9PM EST puck drop tonight because the Capitals are still on the road and will be facing off against the Calgary Flames. The nice thing is that the game is timed well so most of us can switch back and forth with the first game of the World Series.

Puck will be dropping at 9PM and Peter will have your recap. Follow along with us, RMNB after dark is a good time.


Record	5-4-1	6-2-2
Shot Attempt %	51.8%	53.3%
PDO	98.3	97.7
Power Play	15.6% (23rd)	27.0% (9th)
Penalty Kill	87.5% (5th)	85.7% (8th)

Projected Lines

You might have seen that Tom Wilson missed the morning skate, but have no fear. Coach Todd mentioned it’s highly likely he will be in. Don’t forget to peep that Kempny-Carlson reunion:

Ovechkin – Backstrom – Oshie
Hagelin – Kuznetsov – Wilson
Vrana – Eller – Hathaway
Leipsic – Dowd – Stephenson

Kempny – Carlson
Orlov – Jensen
Siegenthaler – Gudas

Storylines

John Carlson was named the NHL’s second star of the week, but it’s important to remind him that’s he’s the number one star in our hearts.
Catch up on what happened last game. Spoiler alert: the Capitals beat the Blackhawks.
Get to know the Nationals players with this fan video set to the tune of…the “Friends” theme. Counting down until we see a tribute set to “The Office” theme.
The National Mall has re-branded as the NATIONALS Mall.
Did you also physically feel the hip check that Radko Gudas delivered to Dylan Strome? Whew.
Is this Nicklas Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin bobblehead the best bobblehead of all time?
The Capitals have added the Nationals logo to their name plates in the locker room. The support these teams have for each other makes me very emotional.
Alex Ovechkin met Theo Fleury after practice in Calgary! Turns out Theo actually inspired Ovechkin on a couple fashion points.

Candy Corn

Just taking up a small corner of the internet to simply say that candy corn is actually good. That being said, there needs to be a line. We gotta stop putting weird things into ovens.
