Welcome back to the bedlam that is Capitals hockey and this series of posts.
We embark upon the sixth season that will feature numbers of the sunrise variety. Join me as we traverse the many diverging canals of a full 82 game season on the statistical gondola of truth.
The Caps got off to a hot start in an emotional opener, smacking the New York Rangers 5-1.

After having the team give out Cobra Kai headbands last season to the offensive and defensive players of the game, Peter Laviolette is turning up the danger level in his postgame awards.
“I did watch a new show this summer,” Laviolette said in his postgame presser. That show was History and Amazon Prime’s Vikings.
The Capitals are now giving out a Viking axe and shield as their new postgame award ridiculousness. We’re serious. Do you see the headline pic? That’s Ovi wielding a weapon from the 11th century.

Hi. Welcome back. Hope you’re doing alright. Wild times, eh? Yeah, I’m good, hanging in there. Okay, that was a good talk. Now let’s get into it.
The Washington Capitals kicked off the 2021-22 season by soundly downing the New York Rangers. The Caps chalked up four goals before Chris Kreider cracked Vitek Vanecek’s shutout off a soft penalty in the third period. Ovi added one more, and that was not bad for one of 82.
Caps win!

The breakout star of training camp, Hendrix Lapierre, was a surprise addition to the opening-night roster. And tonight, in his first regular-season game, Lapierre scored his first career goal.
The first of many.
