Metropolitan Division teams share preview images of their NHL Reverse Retro jerseys

The NHL’s eight Metropolitan Division teams shared preview images of their upcoming Reverse Retro jerseys on Friday, a day after the Pacific Division posted their bad boys.

The photos confirm the Capitals red Screaming Eagle jersey and that the Carolina Hurricanes are bringing back Pucky The Whale. Some of the jersey designs are a bit different than the animated video the NHL and Adidas shared earlier in the week while also confirming some of the old logos we opined might come back.

Let’s again take a closer look!

The Caps should sign Henrik Lundqvist #hank2dc

In 2009, 2012, 2013, and 2015, Henrik Lundqvist backstopped the New York Rangers in four games 7 against the Washington Capitals. The Rangers won three of those four games, with Lundqvist stopping 96.6 percent of the shots he faced, including one 35-save shutout.

He’s always been a Caps killer, but now he could be a Cap, as Elliotte Friedman suggested that Washington is interested in singing the 38-year-old Swedish goalie, who will enter free agency for the first time since he was bought out by his team of 15 years. Lundqvist is a very special player, and this is an intriguing idea.

Hurricanes and Rangers exchange fist bumps instead of handshakes after Carolina sweeps series

The New York Rangers are officially the first team out of the playoffs (and the bubble). The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Rangers 4-1 in Game Three Tuesday night to sweep the Qualifying Round series three games to none.

After the game, the teams continued one of the greatest traditions in sports: the handshake line. Except this year, the players went a safer route due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Nicola Minarikova, Michal Kempny’s girlfriend, is behind the NHL’s Stick Together campaign: ‘I had to do something’

Behind almost every NHL player is a strong and supportive significant other who does not get nearly enough credit for the work they do behind the scenes.

For Washington Capitals defenseman Michal Kempny, that’s longtime girlfriend Nicola Minarikova.

Nicola, a native of Prague, Czech Republic, has long been passionate about interior design but with the world struggling in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, she wondered how she could do more and make a real difference.

Rangers beat Caps 6-5 as Mika Zibanejad goes super saiyan

The Washington Capitals played another chippy, sloppy, error-prone game, blowing a winnable game against the New York Rangers and nearly losing control of the Metropolitan Division in the process.

Carl Hagelin kicked off scoring with a goal against his former team. Mika Zibanejad, whose name you will hear a few times here, responded with a power-play goal in the first, then a delayed-penalty goal in the second period. Ilya Kovalchuk’s first goal tied the game, setting off a scoring spurt. Tony Deangelo put the Rangers up after a great pass from Panarin, but Garnet Hathaway scored soon after– deflecting a shot by Michal Kempny on a similar play.

Twelve seconds into the third period, Mika Zibanejad secured a hat trick and gave the Rangers a new lead. Alex Ovechkin tied it up yet again with a lovely wristshot with ten minutes to go. The Caps committed a billion penalties late in the game with the score tied, so Zibanejad got his fourth goal. In the final minute of regulation, Ovechkin found a rebound to tie the game yet again.

Overtime was over in a blink as Zibanejad won it with his fifth goal of the game.

Caps lose in overtime.

We’re shaking yesterday off. Today is a new day. Thursday is always a better day than a Wednesday. The Capitals have traveled north to play the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Truly hoping that the Caps show up in a mood that doesn’t involve the penalty box.

Puck drop is at 7 PM and Peter will once again be back here with your recap. You lucky dogs.
