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!

President-Elect Joe Biden is a big hockey fan and has been to a Washington Capitals game before

Joe Biden was elected the 46th President of the United States on Saturday after Pennsylvania pushed the Scranton native over the 270 electoral college votes needed for victory. While Biden and 45 have almost nothing in common, there is something sports-related that they do: they both root for Metropolitan Division rivals of the Washington Capitals.

Joe, and especially incoming First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, are big fans of hockey and the Philadelphia Flyers.

Biden is considered the first Flyers fan in presidential history.

Flyers’ Ivan Provorov forces Game Seven with double overtime goal

A broken stick ended up being the difference.

Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov scored in double overtime to force a Game Seven against the New York Islanders after Scott Mayfield broke his stick on the opposite end of the ice. Kevin Hayes ragged the puck into the offensive zone before finding Provorov wide open at the point with a centering pass. The Russian fired the puck past a screened Semyon Varlamov for the game-winner.

Oskar Lindblom plays in first game since completing cancer treatment

Oskar Lindblom played in Game Six against the New York Islanders tonight. It’s the Flyers forward’s first NHL game since December 7, 2019. The Flyers announced Lindblom’s return during warmups in an inspirational video.

Lindblom was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a form of bone cancer, on December 13. The 24-year-old Swede was tied for the team-lead in goals (11) and had 18 points in 30 games before learning of the diagnosis.

“My first thought was, ‘Can I play hockey anymore?’” Lindblom recalled to Sports Illustrated. “I don’t know if I can do anything else. That’s my thing. But then I realized, this is probably not about hockey anymore. I’ll just be happy if I can live like a normal person afterwards.”

Philadelphia Flyers and Vegas Golden Knights lock up number one seeds in East and West

After a wild Elimination Friday that saw five teams get axed from the loffs, the NHL had a quiet Saturday with only two games. Both of the matchups were important, however, as they decided the number one seeds in the Eastern and Western Conferences.

The Philadelphia Flyers will be the number one seed in the East, leapfrogging from fourth to first during round-robin play. The Flyers won all three games they played, tallying victories over Boston, Washington, and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Meanwhile, the Vegas Golden Knights will headline the West after scoring 15 total goals in their three games of the round-robin.

Good thing this isn’t the real playoffs: Flyers beat Caps 3-1

Not sure what

*gestures broadly towards the last 2.5 hours*

that was all about.

The Caps were just plain terrible against the Philadelphia Flyers in their second game of round-robin play, which is fake hockey and doesn’t matter, and yes this is how I have decided to rationalize this.

Scott Laughton put the Flyers up in the first period after a defensive-zone turnover that we will discuss. Travis Sandheim made it 2-0 in the second period during a rare moment when the Capitals were not on the penalty kill. The third period happened, unfortunately, bringing with it another goal by Laughton. With mercy, new boy Travis Boyd ended the shutout a few moments later.

Flyers beat Caps 3-1.

Caps vs Flyers pregame: Rockin’ round robin

Time to brush off the shootout loss to the Lightning, the Capitals are facing the Philadelphia Flyers in another round-robin matchup.

The Capitals have John Carlson down as a game-time decision, due to his injury from the exhibition game, and they will also be without Lars Eller. But don’t worry about Eller, it’s because he’s gonna be a papa again! Eller left the bubble, so Travis Boyd will be taking his spot. Wishing the Eller family all the best on the delivery of their new tiger cub.

The puck drops at 4 PM and Peter will meet you back here for another impeccable recap.

Penguins forget how to hockey, get whistled for 10 players on the ice

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers played the NHL’s first game since the league suspended the season on March 12 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Playing in a bubble in Toronto, the two cross-state rivals renewed their rivalry north of the border at Scotiabank Arena.

During the second period, the Penguins literally forgot how to hockey, as two full lines of players were on the ice at the same time.
