NHL billionaires have been behaving badly.
Three have been worse than most: the Boston Bruins and the Buffalo Sabres, who were among the last to commit to paying their game-day employees and some of those plans were far weaker than other teams.
Now they’ve taken it to another, even lower, level.

After getting mega-boomed to hell by the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night, the Washington Capitals have lost their claim on first place in the league to the Boston Bruins.

The Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers were tied 5-5 after 65 minutes of hockey, and so they went to the shootout. Were the Bruins to win in the shootout, they’d keep pace with Washington for the best record in hockey.
One of the world’s best players, Brad Marchand, skated to center ice to keep his team alive.
And then he did the single worst shootout attempt we’ve ever seen.

The Washington Capitals started their holiday break a bit earlier than planned, falling on the road to the Boston Bruins in a mess of a game.
Jake DeBrusk, Brad Marchand, Anders Bjork, Patrice Bergeron, and Charlie Coyle all scored for the Bruins before the Caps could crack Tuukka Rask. Alex Ovechkin finally did just that in the second period. Lars Eller tipped a shot by Jakub Vrana to narrow the gap a bit, but then David Krecji added an empty-netter. Garnet Hathaway exploited some lazy defense to tack on another goal, but then Kuznetsov got caught playing bad D, allowing Bergeron to make it 7.
Caps lose.

The league’s number-one and number-two teams collided as the Washington Capitals hosted the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night, delivering a night of real good hockey.
NHL goal leader David Pastrnak scored first with an odd-man rush. TJ Oshie scored two goals in the second period, including a thrilling highlight-reel goal we’ll discuss below. Sean Kuraly tied the game early in the third period by deflecting Krug’s wild shot from way out, but John Carlson answered with a one-timer serviced by Nicklas Backstrom. The lead held.
Caps win!
