Boston Bruins partner with NWHL’s Boston Pride to grow women’s hockey

Since the National Women’s Hockey League’s founding in 2015, three teams have partnered with their closest NHL franchises. Those partnerships include the Metropolitan Riveters with the New Jersey Devils, the Minnesota Whitecaps with the Minnesota Wild, and the Buffalo Beauts with the Buffalo Sabres.

Thursday morning, the Boston Pride became the fourth, teaming up with the Boston Bruins. The Bruins will assist the Pride financially and help grow women’s hockey in Massachusetts.

The Pride, whose roster includes Maryland native and Olympic gold medalist Haley Skarupa, will be at TD Garden tonight to support the Bruins and celebrate the new partnership.

The extra point is good: numbers for the morning after

Hello again. I’m back, long time no see. I hope everyone had a great summer. It’s that time again where we look at a bunch of numbers, big and small, and I shape a bunch of scorching hot takes around them to try and look smart. Join me once again this season, won’t you?

So hey, the Caps totally laid a good ole Beantown beatdown on the Bruins to open their Stanley Cup defending season. The 2018-19 season home opener couldn’t have went better for the boys in red as they put a touchdown plus an extra point on the scoreboard, beating Boston 7-0.

The Capitals out-shot the Bruins 37 to 25, but were out-attempted at five-on-five 45 to 41. The latter matters exactly 0.0 percent.

Hangover? The break’s over: Caps beat Bruins 7-0

Welcome back, friends! After a fairytale summer, the Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals turned back into pumpkins during a pregame banner-raising ceremony as their season began with a home opener against the Boston Bruins. The magic didn’t stay gone long.

A long wait following a short summer ended just 24 seconds after puck drop when TJ Oshie scored on Tuukka Rask’s short side from out wide. A little over a minute later, Evgeny Kuznetsov added a power-play goal, and that’s when I figured something was up. The second period saw the Caps erupt for four goals: Ovechkin, Dowd, Kuznetsov (again), and Carlson. Rask was chased from net with Halak stepping in. Eller made it a full touchdown and extra point halfway into the third period with a clean breakaway goal. Holtby recorded the shutout to kick off the season right.

Caps win 7-0!

Caps score twice in first two minutes of the season

The Cup defense season has scarcely begun, but the Washington Capitals are already on the scoreboard. The first goal of the 2018-19 season belongs to Tobias Junkrat Oshie, just 24 seconds into game one. And before two minutes had passed, Evgeny Kuznetsov added a power-play goal.

Say it with me: Back to back.

Caps vs Bruins pregame: Champions

Well, well, well. What do we have here? Your Washington Capitals are the Stanley Cup Champions. But once that banner goes up into the rafters of Capital One Arena tonight, we’ll have to start calling them the defending Stanley Cup Champions. After the puck drops, some time after 7:30 PM, the Cup goes back to neutral territory until June. Everything resets, starting now.

Except that’s a lie. Something changed when Ovi lifted the Cup, and we can never go back, thank goodness. So welcome to the new RMNB, everybody. We’re world champion bloggers. Let’s find out what whatever’s next looks like, together.

First up: the Boston Bruins, airing on NBC Sports, with a recap from me. Pregame coverage on NBCS Washington starts at 6 PM, and you can stream it online.

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.
