Caps at Golden Knights pregame: Close it (Game Five)

The Washington Capitals are in Las Vegas to play against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game Five of the Stanley Cup Final. The Capitals currently lead the series 3-1, which makes this game a must-win for Vegas or cup-clinching for Washington. In order to win, the Knights will look to have a stronger start and a more focused defense. The Capitals are perfect and never need to change anything.

Whether you’ve been a Capitals fan since day one, or decided to join us an hour ago, we’re glad you’re here now. Have fun, be safe, be nice to each other, and rock the damn red.

Puck drop is at 8PM on NBC (with the drama, puck drop might actually be a bit more toward the 8:15PM mark). After the game, Peter will have a recap for you.

Caps vs Golden Knights pregame: Turning two more into one more (Game Four)

The Washington Capitals are up 2-1 in the Stanley Cup Final and have another opportunity to take a win at home tonight. The Vegas Golden Knights are going to continue trying to find their momentum again, which could happen with their recent lineup changes. As for the Capitals, they’ll be sticking with their usual lineup.

It’s taken a while for all of this to sink in for me, but it’s starting to and I’m becoming a little speechless. Be safe wherever you’re rallying, have a good time, and let’s go Caps.

Puck drop is at 8PM on NBC (probably a bit more toward the 8:15PM mark, but still). After the game, Peter will have your recap.

Caps at Golden Knights pregame: Time to tie (Game Two)

Down one game in the Stanley Cup Final is better than not being in the Stanley Cup Final at all. Clear eyes, full hearts, folks. Believe in the boys and believe in yourself.

Puck drop is at 8PM (but if tonight is anything like last game…the puck will drop closer to 8:30PM) on NBCSN. After the game, Peter will have your usual recap.

Caps at Golden Knights pregame: It’s the final countdown (Game One)

On this Memorial Day, the Washington Capitals will do battle with the Vegas Golden Knights in Game One of the Stanley Cup Final. If anyone claims that they seriously predicted this match up back in the fall, give them a smack to the noggin’ for me. You cant script this.

Both teams will be looking for their franchise’s first Stanley Cup win and you can see all the action on NBC, CBC, SN, or TVA Sports at 8PM eastern. Peter will grace your faces with another recap. I’ll be at Capital One Arena. Lets. Go. Caps.

Caps vs Lightning pregame: This is it (Game Seven)

It all comes down to this. Win and you have a date with the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Finals. Lose and all you get is a worse draft pick than all of the other playoff teams that lost before you.

It’s Game Seven, tune in at 8PM on NBCSN, CBC, SN1, or TVA Sports for the action. Lets. Go. Caps.

Caps vs Lightning pregame: Caps in 7 (Game Six)

Here. This spot right here is the closest the Washington Capitals have been to a championship in two decades. The problem is they’ve been in this spot for a week now. Since winning Game Two in Florida, the Caps have dropped three in a row to the Tampa Bay Lightning and are now one loss away from elimination.

They’ve gotta win at home, tonight at 8 PM, to keep their season and our hopes alive. They’ve just gotta.

Caps at Lightning pregame: Happy birthday, Kuzy! (Game Five)

The Washington Capitals are back in Florida, having accrued precisely zero wins since they last left that blighted state. That might sound catastrophic, but all it means is that the series is tied 2-2. With the puck dropping at 7:15 PM on NBC, the winner of Game Five will take a crucial series lead. The loser will risk elimination next week at Capital One Arena.

So please win.

Peter here, I’ll be your host tonight. Let’s do the thing.

Caps vs Lightning pregame: Bringing it home (Game Three)

The Washington Capitals are heading into Game Three tonight with a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals and it feels really wonderful. Finally, the good boys are back where they belong as the series continues at Capital One Arena.

More people should like sports. They’re a bunch of fun when you’re winning. Two more wins to go and the Capitals move on to the championship. We also move on to the championship with them because at this point we’re all a family operating as one unit, or a package deal.

Anyway, puck drop will be a lil’ after 8PM. The great Peter Hassett will have your recap and you will have to turn your channel to NBC. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. (more…)

Caps at Lightning pregame: Say hi to your mother for me (Game Two)

The Capitals gave us a compelling performance in Game One, snatching an important road victory and an early series lead. I suspect Jon Cooper’s Lightning will play much better in Game Two, which will air on NBC Sports at 8 PM, giving you plenty of time to spend time with the mother figures in your life before then.

I’m Peter, and I’ll be hosting your RMNB game coverage experience.
