Not much is better than a dog with a job.

Shane shines: numbers for the morning after

The Washington Capitals took both games of the home and home against the New York Rangers, finishing off the back half in an extra frame 3-2. The Caps needed some help from the Colorado Avalanche against the Philadelphia Flyers to officially clinch a playoff spot, but that help did not come.

The Rangers out-shot the Caps 37 to 33, but were out-attempted by the Caps at five-on-five 46 to 40.

More goals than the other team: Caps win 3-2

After beating the Rangers on Monday, the Caps were back home Wednesday to play … the Rangers.

Kevin Hayes gave the Rangers the lead about 14 minutes into the game. In the final minutes of the first, Brooks Orpik caused a turnover in the neutral zone that resulted in an Andre Burakovsky goal after a nice feed from TJ Oshie.

Goals RSVP’d as a no for the second period. Actually, they probably replied as “interested” on Facebook.

Ryan Spooner put the Rangers on top 2-1 about halfway through the third period. Lars Eller, the extra attacker, tied the game up with 1:05 remaining.

Evgeny Kuznetsov buried one during three-on-three.

Caps win 3-2!

One period wonder: numbers for the morning after

The Washington Capitals put their game with the New York Rangers to bed after the first twenty minutes, netting four goals on fifteen shots and chasing young Alexandar Georgiev from his net. That first period effort was enough to earn the Caps a 4-2 win in regulation and maintain their lead in the NHL’s Metropolitan Division.

The Caps out-shot the Rangers 33 to 30, but were out-attempted by the blueshirts at five-on-five 51 to 36.

Super start: Caps beat Rangers 4-2

The Washington Capitals kicked off Monday night with a flurry of offense and ended it with, well, something. Doesn’t matter; the suddenly young New York Rangers didn’t have a reply to a four-goal first period.

And hoo boy, did the Caps whip the donkey in the first period. Nick Backstrom set up TJ Oshie, then Evgeny Kuznetsov set up Matt Niskanen. Alex Ovechkin got an Ovi Shot from the Ovi Spot, which chased rookie goalie Alexander Georgiev from net, but the Caps weren’t done yet: Evgeny Kuznetsov recorded a shorty before the period was up.

The second was more tame, but Rangers rookie Lias Andersson scored his first NHL goal to crack Grubauer’s shutout bid. The third period saw Mats Zuccarello make it 4-2 while the Caps tripped on their laces, but that was enough for one night.

Caps beat Rangers 4-2!

Caps at Rangers pregame: Are they home yet?

The Washington Capitals are still on the road as they visit Madison Square Garden and their old pals the New York Rangers. The two Metro Division teams will go head-to-head in a matchup that usually features a handsome-off between Braden Holtby and Henrik Lundqvist, but you’ll get neither of those two dudes tonight as Philipp Grubauer and Alex Georgiev man the cages.

We have a 7:30 PM start on NBCSN. Peter will be your recapper.

Turns out, adding Susan Sarandon as a hockey commentator is a bad idea

Some days, I like to think to myself that I can do anything if I put my mind to it! I could be a doctor, a lawyer, a bar owner, or any other dream I might have. Last night, it was solidified that I am also qualified enough to be an NBCSN “Inside the Glass” corresponder with Pierre McGuire because after the trash they pulled during the game, anyone can wear that second headset.

For some ungodly reason, NBCSN announced that as part of their coverage of the Penguins-Rangers “Wednesday Night Rivalry” game, actress and Rangers fan Susan Sarandon would be joining Pierre as a commentator. According to Sam Flood, the executive producer and president of production for NBC and NBCSN, the reasoning for this decision was because, “We are always looking to grow the game of hockey, and this approach provides us another opportunity to broaden the reach of this great sport.” I need Mr. Flood to call me and explain exactly who he was trying to reach. Women? Casual fans? Who?

I tuned in because I enjoy hockey, even featuring high profiled teams that I hate. I did not tune in to listen to Sarandon just say “ohhhh” or “ahhh” every once in a while when the Rangers did something of value. Be glad if you didn’t turn it on, because despite the really good game (Rangers came back and won in OT), the announcing was unbearable.

The worst ice and the best German: Rangers beat Caps 1-0

It’s freezing outside, the NHL holiday break is over, the World Junior Classic has started, the Winter Classic is close, and we had a matchup of Metro-Division foes. The end of December is definitely fun for the hockey world, but would it be fun for Caps fans on Wednesday rivalry night?

We got sloppy nothingness through twenty minutes. And then some failed power plays on both sides, but more of the same sloppy nothingness through forty minutes. Philipp Grubauer stood on his head to keep the third…also scoreless. Overtime? Nothing there either.

So here’s some shootout bullets.

Zuccarello put the biscuit in the basket.
Oshie did not put the biscuit in the basket.
Zibanejad put the biscuit in the basket.
Ovechkin did not put the biscuit in the basket.

Rangers beat Caps 1-0.
