Meet the five puppies working for NHL teams

There’s a new trend in the NHL. A year after the Winnipeg Jets hired a new security puppy, five different NHL teams have brought in adorable pups of their own this season. It’s almost as if the NHL is realizing puppies + hockey players = viral content.

This season, the St. Louis Blues, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, and New York Islanders are all training their own puppies to do better deeds in life. These cute dogs will go on to become service dogs, ranging from seeing-eye dogs to dogs that help with motor impairments and Autism.

There really is not much is better than a dog with a job, so let’s acquaint ourselves with these five new fantastic hockey doggos.

The Tomas Tatarrrrr guy met Tomas Tatar

When the Montreal Canadiens took on the Vegas Golden Knights on November 10, the game marked Tomas Tatar‘s first matchup against the team that benched him in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. But it was a fan’s pronunciation of his name, not his goal, that went viral.

Sportsnet showed Habs fan Dérek Toulouse in the concourse during the game. The Habs fan pointed at the camera and pronounced Tatar’s name–but his Québécois accent gave it a meme-worthy quality. And thus, Tomas Tatarrrrr Guy was born.

North of the border shootout: Caps beat Canadiens 5-4

The Washington Capitals were in Montreal looking to closeout a four-game road swing with a winning record. You like goals? Well, I have the game for you.

Mike Reilly opened the scoring for the hometown Habs, but that lead was short-lived as goals by Brett Connolly and Alex Ovechkin put the Caps on top heading into the first intermission.

It went wild from there. The Habs got goals from Gallagher, Petry, and Agostino to give them a lead at the very start of the second. Nicklas Backstrom got one back later on and Ovechkin opened the third with a game tying strike from his office.

Lars Eller with that whole game winning goal thing he does a lot.

Caps beat Canadiens 5-4!

Caps at Canadiens pregame: Max Monday

The injured Capitals team continues their road trip this evening with a quick stop to visit the Montreal Canadiens. Currently, the Canadiens hold a four-point lead over the Capitals and have a pretty dangerous Max Domi in the lineup. Not only did he beat the Capitals at the last minute on November 2nd, but Domi has registered at least one point for the Habs in each of the last nine games. He’s currently sitting with 24 points, including 10 goals. This makes him 13th in the league for points and only three goals behind Alex Ovechkin. Basically, Domi looks GOOD.

Puck drop is at 7:30 PM this evening. As usual, you can stream NBCSWA’s coverage on all of your devices, including the pregame beginning at 6:30PM and the entire game. Chris from the comments will be providing you with a recap.

Caps collapse under Canadien crush 6-4

The Washington Capitals finally returned to action with a rowdy game in Montreal. The Canadiens positively ran the show during 5-on-5 play such that a Caps goal-scoring explosion in the second period wasn’t enough to withstand the Quebecois domination.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi got the game going with his first NHL goal, then Lars Eller responded by scoring on Matt Niskanen’s rebound. Brendan Gallagher opened the second period with an early goal and another one less than three minutes later. The second period closed out with another goal from Lars Eller and a pair of even-strength markers for Alex Ovechkin.

The Habs tied it with three minutes left in the third period as Kotkaniemi cleaned up a scramble in front of Holtby. The game went all the way to overti – just kidding, Max Domi got a lucky break to win it with twenty seconds left. An empty-netter made it a done deal.

Caps lose 6-4.

Caps at Canadiens pregame: Final frontier

The Capitals resume their tour of Canada this evening to face off against the Montreal Canadiens. They will finally return home to Capital One Arena on November 3rd when they host the Dallas Stars.

Both the Capitals and the Canadiens are having a similar start to the season, in terms of their record, but the Capitals take the advantage on the power play percentage while the Canadiens have an edge on the shot attempt. Anything can happen, the Canadiens are wild.

Just to throw you off a tad, puck drop will be around 7:30PM. You can stream the game live and tune in at 6:30PM to the pregame with the good folks at NBC Sports Washington. Your recap will be brought to you from Mr. Peter Hassett.
