General managers will discuss the emergency goalie procedure next week

Remember that wonderful story from Saturday evening about the Zamboni driver named Dave who hopped in net for the Carolina Hurricanes and beat the Toronto Maple Leafs? That was super fun for all of us, right? Well, maybe not for everyone because on Tuesday NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly confirmed to the media that they will be revisiting that “issue” when the general managers begin meetings this Monday in Boca Raton, Florida.

My first reaction? Of course, the NHL would discuss the future of one of the best things in the league when the GMs all meet on a Monday…in Florida.

Leaving on a jet plane: Caps beat Jets 4-3 in shootout

On a lovely Tuesday night, the Washington Capitals squeaked out a win over the Winnipeg Jets. The Capitals will now pack their bags and head up to Winnipeg….to play the Jets again. Apologies about the pun in the title, I can’t control it.

A wonderful ceremony honoring Alex Ovechkin’s 700th goal followed by an Alex Ovechkin goal to open the game? What a beautiful beginning on the road to #800VI. A few minutes later, Jakub Vrana turned up the speed and fired a shot to the back of the net, bringing the Capitals up 2-0 heading into the second period.

Only goal in the second period, for the good guys, came from Garnet Hathaway after 13 and a half minutes. He immediately got into a fight, which had us all begging for a Gordie Howe hat trick. There was a bad turnover in front of Holtby and Nikolaj Ehlers got one in for the Jets before the end of the period.

Third period and John Carlson turned the puck over at the blue line to give the Jets a moment to bring the score up 3-2. A puck off of Orlov’s skate and through Holtby tied the game. Overtime was not enough for this game, so a shootout occurred and Alex Ovechkin scored the game-winning shootout goal. Of course he did.

Caps win!

Caps at Avalanche pregame: Mile High match

The Capitals have hit the road and are in Colorado to face off against the Avalanche. The Capitals will be without Evgeny Kuznetsov due to injury and the Avalanche will be without Nazem Kadri who is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.

The game is going to be a national broadcast because people want to see Alex Ovechkin get to 700 goals. I keep having this theory that he will hit it the moment we all stop talking about it. The pressure is too much, probably not for him but mainly for me.

Puck drop is at 9:30 PM, please hang out with us.

Caps vs Islanders pregame: Monday matchup

It’s Monday and the New York Islanders are in town to kick off the week. Lines have been shifted a smidge for the Capitals, including the healthy scratch of Radko Gudas. Hopefully shifting some lines will help the team click a little better. Oh, and hopefully they never have another game like the last one, but I like to think if we never talk about it again it basically didn’t happen.

7 PM is puck drop and Peter has your recap. Do some voodoo to get Alex Ovechkin to 700 goals tonight.

Alex Ovechkin wears jersey with number 24 to honor Kobe Bryant during warmups

Alex Ovechkin warmed up in a number 24 jersey prior to Wednesday night’s game against the Nashville Predators.

The jersey paid homage to the late NBA superstar, Kobe Bryant, who was killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday night with his daughter, Gianna, and seven others. Ovechkin will sign and auction the jersey off at a later date to benefit the Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation.

Caps vs Predators pregame: Streaking away

In the penultimate game for the month of January, the Capitals are at home to host the Nashville Predators (side bar, I feel like January has been 600 years long). The Caps are on a four-game winning streak and the Preds are currently last in the Central Division. The Preds need this win, but I would also love to continue a winning streak. I’m not biased at all.

Puck drop is at 7:30 PM, just enough to throw you off a little bit. Recap will be provided by our shining star, Christopher.
