On Tuesday, Caps forward Tom Wilson was injured in a hit from Knights forward Ryan Reaves. Of the hit, Reaves said, “[Wilson] was just looking at his pass and ran into a lion in the jungle.” Except lions don’t live in jungles. Tigers and cougars and leopards and jaguars live in jungles. Everyone should know this, so Ian and I talked about this topic and only this topic for a solid hour.

The Capitals have hit the twenty-game threshold with an overtime thriller in Montreal, Tom Wilson has returned to action, a bunch of players are hurt, and the standings are weird. In this episode of the RMNB podcast, we discuss all of that – plus Ian hits a major milestone and has a chat with Gavin McHale, the emergency goalie who backed up Pheonix Copley in Winnipeg. Ian and Gavin discuss the call-up, who greeted him with the team, and if the team did right by him.

We’re just two games into a very young season, but it’s never too early to evaluate how the Caps are looking. The short answer: pretty good! In addition to that, in this episode of the RMNB podcast Ian and Peter pore over Washington’s goalie depth, 1990s sitcom themes, Kempny’s return from a scary injury, Gritty, RMNB’s Todd Squad, why the Rangers are so bad, why all the league’s goalies are hurt, and Peter’s advice for players leaving the Capitals.
All that plus a debate about what we think will happen with Tom Wilson’s appeal and what’s going wrong at the core of his play.

Here’s an hourlong Q&A podcast with Q’s provided by you good people and A’s provided by two tired dudes, Ian and Peter. We talk a lot about the 2018-19 Caps roster, but also a lot about Puddle of Mudd and Limp Bizkit. That’s, um, a mixed bag, but you people asked, so really it’s your fault.

There’s the offseason and then there’s August. Ian and I convened on Sunday to discuss the Caps’ summer moves, the Cup’s journey through the organization, and whether or not Lane Lambert is a dracula. Plus, I plug the very stupid series I’m publishing on the site this week.

For the first time in recorded history, Peter and JP of Japers Rink have sat down to talk about – well, everything. This chat was a long time coming, and there’s a lot of ground to cover.
This is hour two of the conversation. You can find part 1 on Japers Rink Radio.

The Caps are champions and we simply have to talk about it.
Ian and I also share our predictions for what each Caps player will do with the Cup, we do a lightning round on the future of the club, discuss our time with our favorite bulldog, perform an art critique on the Sports Illustrated photoshop above, and and scoop some media gossip.

It’s tough to do a podcast when the only thing you want to talk about is the only thing you must absolutely not talk about. So instead of talking about where the Caps are going, we talk about how the Caps got here.

With the Capitals victorious in the Conference Final and now primed to face their former GM, defenseman, and Cody freakin’ Eakin in the Cup Final, Ian and I sat down to collect our thoughts.
Our thoughts are mostly, “howwwwwwwww did this happen?”

Today is an important day in Washington Capitals history. A loss tonight would end the season; a win would push the Eastern Conference Final to a Game Seven. There’s a lot to discuss, plus Ian had a chat with Caps alum Mike Knuble, whose appearance with the Frederick Keys last week got cancelled due to rain.
