    Evgeny Kuznetsov scores breakaway goal with a slapshot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Evgeny Kuznetsov was shuffled to the second line after the first scrimmage and his opening period of Scrimmage No. 2 did not get rave reviews. On one play, Kuznetsov got fancy on a breakaway and did not get a shot off. During another shift, Kuzy was wide open and faked a slapshot, before muddling a scoring chance away. Ken Sabourin of Capitals Radio criticized Kuzy for not being aggressive enough offensively – a challenge the Chelyabinsk native has struggled with at times during his career.

    As the second period unfolded, the Capitals Radio team pointed out that Kuzy did not take the ice for the first nine minutes — perhaps a benching or perhaps some line shuffling to look at some bubble players. When the Russian center returned for the final half of the game, he was a noticeably different player.

    For instance, he scored on a breakaway with a slapshot.

    Alex Ovechkin scored his 500th goal five years ago today

    Alex Ovechkin hit one of the biggest milestones of his career five years ago today (January 10, 2016). In front of 18,506 people at Verizon Center, Ovi scored twice in a 7-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators, including his 500th career NHL goal.

    Here’s Zdeno Chara standing next to his hockey son Conor Sheary

    At 6’9″, Zdeno Chara is the tallest player in NHL history. On skates, he’s seven feet tall. He makes even the scariest of big enforcers look like gnats.

    During Wednesday’s training camp session, all cameras were trained on Chara as he practiced for the first time with the Capitals main squad. But my sights were set on a different target: a photo of Chara, the tallest Capital, standing beside the shortest Capital on the current roster.

    And then it happened.
