Daniel Winnik will try out for Boston Bruins, he’s really good, they should sign him

Joe Haggerty, the, um, best sportswriter that ever was, reports that the Boston Bruins have signed ex-Caps forward Daniel Winnik to a professional tryout agreement. Winnik, 33, last played for Bruce Boudreau’s Minnesota Wild. He’d be a great addition to Boston’s forward depth.

Smith-Pelly, Bowey, and Oshie point to Willie O’Ree as an inspiration on 60th anniversary of NHL debut

In 1958, Willie O’Ree made history by becoming the first black player to ever appear in an NHL game. The forward made his debut skating for the Boston Bruins against the Montreal Canadiens on January 18, 1958.

Sixty years later, O’Ree’s accomplishment has paved the way for many NHL players playing today. NBCSN made a video honoring O’Ree for breaking the color barrier and his achievements on and off the ice.

Braden Holtby has beaten Boston 10 straight times. According to Wikipedia, he owns the Bruins.

Thursday night, the Capitals’ 4-3 shootout victory was somewhat historic as it marked the team’s 12th straight win over the Boston Bruins. According to TSN’s @StatsCentre, the winning streak tied a franchise record for the Capitals longest streak of victories against another team. It’s also the longest active win streak against a team in the NHL.

The winning against the Bruins has been equally as bountiful for Caps goaltender Braden Holtby, who the night before was in a Smolder Off with Henrik Lundqvist.

Slump’s over: Caps beat Bruins 4-3 (SO)

Despite one of their worst starts of the season, the Washington Capitals have beat the Boston Bruins again. Somehow.

The Caps just weren’t ready for puck drop. Before 140 seconds had passed, Boston was up 2-0 with goals by David Backes and Noel Acciari. Washington looked in deep trouble until Lars Eller struck in the second, followed 90 seconds later by an Ovi Shot from the Ovi Spot™. David Backes got his second goal of the night to put the Bruins ahead in the third, but Brett Connolly and Tom Wilson re-tied it with tremendous effort in and around the paint. Overtime refused to give us a decision, so here come…

Shootout bullets!

Oshie did not put the biscuit in the basket.
Marchand did not put the biscuit in the basket.
Kuznetsov did not put the biscuit in the basket.
Pastrnak did not put the biscuit in the basket.
Ovechkin puts the biscuit in the basket! (Finally.)
Nash did not put the biscuit in the basket! CAPS WIN!!!

Caps beat the Bruins 4-3 in the shootout.

Caps vs Bruins pregame: Scoreless streak

The Washington Capitals have now gone over 145 minutes without scoring a single goal. Getting shutout in back to back games will do that for you. They have an opponent tonight in the Boston Bruins that they own recent great success against so it’s time to get back to winning ways.

We have another later national TV start with the puck dropping at 7:30 PM on NBCSN. Peter has your recap.

Can’t stop, won’t stop: Caps beat Bruins 5-3

The Caps entered Boston, on Thursday night, having last lost to the Bruins sometime during the Grover Cleveland administration. The streak lives on.

With about two and a half minutes to go in the first period, Jakub Vrana split the Bruins defense and put home a slick shot to bring the good guys up 1-0.

In the second, Patrice Bergeron put away a power play goal to tie the game at 1-1. The Caps answered with a power play goal of their own later in the period. Nicklas Backstrom banked in a beautiful feed from Evgeny Kuzetnsov to make it 2-1 Caps. Rumor is Kuzy called bank.

In the third, Christian Djoos made a nice feed to Alex Chiasson in front of the Bruins cage. Mr. Chiasson put the biscuit in the basket to extend the Caps’ lead to 3-1. With just under 10 minutes to go, Brooks Orpik was sent to the box on a questionable call. It didn’t matter because you can’t stop Alex Chiasson. Chiasson blocked a shot at the blue line and was off to the races. He buried the breakaway chance to push the lead to 4-1. David Krejci pulled the Bruins within two late. Alex Ovechkin iced the game with an empty-net bank shot. He definitely called bank. Bergeron added a late meaningless goal.

Caps win 5-3.

Caps at Bruins pregame: The Boston Rag

The Washington Capitals are up in snowy, gross Boston to face the Bruins. The last time the Bruins beat the Capitals was March 29, 2014. I need this trend to keep going, especially since the Celtics and the Patriots are always winning. The Bruins stayed up late last night taking home a W after a 3-2 overtime win against Detroit, while the Capitals have had a bit more rest.

No pressure or anything, but judging from history and the amount of rest each team has received, I’m pulling for a win. I’m also very sorry if everything is jinxed and we lose 38-0.

Game is at 7PM. Be sure to follow along with us on the twitter dot com (while you still can). Patrick will have your recap.

Capitals best Bruins in Beantown: numbers for the morning after

After a quick return to DC to play the Islanders, the Capitals returned to the road to play the Boston Bruins at TD Garden. The good guys came out victorious with a 3-2 win, giving them their first winning streak since the first three games of the season.

The Capitals were out-attempted 45 to 31 five-on-five and out shot 33 to 27. It’s like groundhog day.
