The Washington Capitals humbled and molly-whopped the virtual Buffalo Sabres on Monday. The fake Caps are undefeated (4-0) since going digital.
The Capitals had seven different goal-scorers, including the snake-bit Digi Ovechkin. The game was so lobsided Nick Jensen scored and Braden Holtby tallied an assist.
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.

The Washington Capitals followed up their great performance in Pittsburgh with the opposite of that in Buffalo. They were able to salvage a loser point out of the festivities, but ultimately fell in the shootout 3-2 to the Sabres.
The Caps out-shot the Sabres 35 to 26 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 50 to 34.

The Washington Capitals played a thoroughly Capital-y game on Monday night in Buffalo. For forty minutes they were a mix of boredom and badness, giving up chances and goals to a team they should be much better than. But then Alex Ovechkin heaved the entire 19-player roster onto his shoulders and carried them back into the game.
It began with Marcus Johansson setting up Victor Olofsson as the Caps blew a breakout. Jack Eichel made it 2-0 with a god-tier effort on a second period power play.
Suddenly, in the third period, the Caps were a different team — which is to say: a good one. Alex Ovechkin notched his 48th of the season, then Dmitry Orlov tied the game off Ovi’s assist. Brandon Montour “scored” late in the third, but the goal was washed due to Jeff Skinner’s interference against Braden Holtby, pushing us into overtime. There the Caps killed an Orlov trip to survive to the shootout, so here we go with the shootout bullets!

The Washington Capitals left October behind but kept their winning ways, kicking off November with a rousing W over the Buffalo Sabres.
Jakub Vrana scored early in the first period, followed by Chandler Stephenson, Vrana (again), and Brandon Leipsic. Buffalo got a weird bounce off Jonas Siegenthaler’s back to get on the scoreboard in the second period, but Tom Wilson tipped in a Michal Kempny shot to make it 5-1 after forty minutes.
TJ Oshie added a sixth goal in the third period to make it a blowout.
