It was RMNB’s tenth birthday and we had a party and the Caps lost 5-2 to the Blue Jackets and that sucks.

The Caps out-shot the Blooj 39 to 38 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 49 to 46.

• Well, that first period was vomitrocious. The first half of the second period was great. That was about where I stopped watching cause of RMNB Party and the Caps losing. I’m not gonna have much for y’all in this one.
• RMNB’s 10th birthday made me remember to thank y’all again for being here every morning or whenever you read my drivel. It means a lot, y’all.
• Yo, Ovi scored and Nicky scored in his comeback game. Was this really a loss?

Alex Ovechkin cuts the Blue Jackets lead to 2-1 with his 21st goal of the season. He's now six goals shy of passing Teemu Selanne (684) for the 11th most goals in NHL history.

• Stephen Strasburg signed for about 56 gajillion ($245 million over 7 years, some deferred, more like a lot deferred) dollars, but hey he’s back in DC. That rocks.
