Caps at Oilers pregame: Canadian circuit

Nobody gets to go to bed at a normal hour quite yet. The Capitals are still on the night shift up in Canada this evening to face off against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are finishing their four-game homestand while the Caps are only halfway through their Canadian expedition. They still have to visit Calgary and Montreal before coming home to Capital One Arena on November 3rd.

Our favorite boy born from the comment section, Christopher, will have your late night (but not as late as last time) recap. You should absolutely stay up with us and you should absolutely tune into NBCS Washington tonight at 8PM for their pregame coverage and for the entirety of the game. Stream it from your phone or laptop if you need. We won’t judge you if you fall asleep and get woken up in the middle of the night by a goal horn.

Caps vs Rangers pregame: Walkin’ on air

The Capitals remain at home while they host the New York Rangers for a Wednesday night showdown. The Rangers won last night in overtime against the Colorado Avalanche after a winning goal from some guy named Kevin Shattenkirk? At any rate, you can probably expect the Rangers to look a little sleepy.

In terms of the Capitals’ lineup news…oh boy, oh boy. Or should I say “Oi boy, oi boy” because our Aussie Angel Nathan Walker is back in the lineup tonight. Walker was previously replaced by recently signed Dimitrij Jaskin.

Your recap will be delivered promptly after the game by Mr. Peter Hassett. Game coverage is on NBCS Washington will be kicking off at 6 PM, and you can stream it all online. Even the game, so if you’re out and you want to watch the game instead, don’t be ashamed to run away to the bathroom and watch the stream. No judgement zone here, I’ve been there.

Caps at Devils pregame: Back-to-back

When we chant “back-to-back” we’re usually talking about how the Capitals deserve to win the Stanley Cup again this season. Unfortunately, tonight is a different “back-to-back” for the Capitals as they play their the second set of back-to-back games since the season started. The boys are travelling up to New Jersey to face the Devils in their home opener. Why does it feel like it has been 600 years since our home opener and the Devils are just now celebrating theirs?! Time is wild.

Once again, Mr. Peter Hassett will have the recap for you. You can watch pregame coverage on NBCS Washington beginning at 6 PM and you can stream the game online.

Caps vs Golden Knights pregame: Rematch

It’s a rematch for the ages, folks, as the Washington Capitals will take on the Vegas Golden Knights tonight at Capital One Arena. For those of you that need a quick refresher, the last time the Capitals played the Golden Knights, they won the whole dang thing. The Capitals could lose every game against the Golden Knights for the rest of eternity and I would never be bothered.

Anyway, important news, Michael Kempny will be back in the lineup this evening after taking a terrible elbow to the head during the preseason. It was so bad, Kempny doesn’t even remember the shift he took. We’re very glad to see him back on the ice.

Pete will have the recap for you. You can watch pregame coverage on NBCS Washington beginning at 7 PM and you can stream the game online.

There are new Evgeny Kuznetsov and TJ Oshie reaction GIFs you should absolutely be using

One of the greatest things about the beginning of a new hockey season is all the new promotional material we get from the NHL and its affiliates.

This year during NHL Media Day, NBC had TJ Oshie and Evgeny Kuznetsov film some social media content for NBC to promote Wednesday Night Hockey. The media resulted in some hilarious gifs you can now use to help you properly react to anything that might happen on the ice or in life in general.

Take a peek below at the GIFs, including my personal favorite of Oshie doing the chef fingertip kiss, and start planning how these can help give a bit of pizzazz to your next tweet.

Caps at Penguins pregame: The Pittsburgh who?

As far as I am concerned, last night looked pretty dang easy for the Washington Capitals. It should be simple for them to replicate last night’s performance again for the rest of the season, but especially tonight when they travel to Pittsburgh to play the Penguins.

I always had an anxious knot in my stomach when we played Pittsburgh. Maybe it was just a hope-esque feeling of wanting the Capitals to do well enough to prove themselves or something. Anyway, it’s now gone because I don’t care about them. I don’t even know who the Pittsburgh Penguins are anymore.

Chris from the comments will have his first recap of the season for you after the game. You can watch pregame coverage on NBCS Washington beginning at 6 PM and you can stream it online.

Leni Oshie is our pasta loving pal

“One day, the Leni Oshie content might not be good anymore. We should cherish what we have now,” I told myself one fine afternoon while scrolling through Lauren Oshie’s Instagram feed. Instead, something magical is happening. The content is only getting stronger.

Friday evening, we got another glimpse inside the life of the trendy toddler. Leni Rose knows how important it is to carb load before hittin’ the town (or hittin’ the road to her bed), so she was seen stuffing her face full of pasta.

Devante Smith-Pelly details the Capitals Celebration on Cabbie Presents Podcast

Devante Smith-Pelly appeared on TSN’s Cabbie Presents Podcast and gave a full breakdown of the Stanley Cup Championship party.

Smith-Pelly is a personal friend of Cabbie, so the interview was very relaxed as he chatted about the monitoring of cell phones, how Jakub Vrana needed to chill out with his instagram stories during the Cup run, and his own plans for his Cup day. You’re going to want to take a listen below, but first, let us highlight some of the best parts of Smith-Pelly detailing the Cup celebration.
