That’s what people think we think, at least. Really, the DOPS video was pretty eye-opening. Before the suspension came down, Ian and I got together to discuss the Caps-Pens series, Tom Wilson’s killing spree, and proper summer fashions for adult bros. All that and my unending torment at the hands of Leafs fans for one bad tweet.
That sounds pretty dire, but it’s actually a fun podcast. Check it.

Sunday afternoon’s game threw our publishing schedule all out of whack, so instead of a written snapshot with lots of charts and bullets, here’s an hour of discussion from Peter and Pat. We go through TJ Oshie‘s worrying play of late, Trotz’s relationship with Burakovsky and Vrana, the revolutionary specialness of Alex Ovechkin, and the best way to cook various meats.

I thought it would be fun to end 2017 by arguing with WNST’s Ed Frankovic about all the things we disagreed about throughout the year. That was the plan, but that’s not how it turned out. You’ll see what I mean. Now please join us as we say goodbye to Twenty Semin-teen and say hello to…
Twenty Nate-teen. Alright.

Just before Thanksgiving, we asked people to score each Caps player based on their performance relative to expectations. Around the same time I sat down with professional tired dad Ian Oland to unpack those rankings and discuss a Caps team that was struggling at the time. That conversation, plus a more recent chat with Adam “Strings” Stringham of Japers Rink Radio (on which I was just a guest) about Nathan Walker and the Caps’ subsequent improvements, are in the latest episode of RMNB podcast.
Please enjoy, and sorry for not knowing my fables better.

It’s been 148 days since the Washington Capitals last played a game that matters, but that’s all over now. The Caps are back, and they are a bit different from the last time you saw them. In this episode, Pat explains to Peter what he missed at camp and we try to calibrate expectations for a wild new year.

It’s an emergency podcast with Peter and Pat to discuss the acquisition of Nate Schmidt by the Vegas Golden Knights as part of the expansion draft. Fun.
Also discussed: the Baltimore Orioles bullpen and rec league players with white gloves.

So… it’s been a big last few days in our little hockey world. Ian and I got together to discuss the Crosby/Niskanen hit and the Caps-Pens series in general. We give our rundown of Caps personnel in the postseason, and I’ll tell you why the NHL is bad.

I love Steve Dangle and Steve Dangle loves RMNB. My favorite team is the Washington Capitals and Steve’s favorite team is the Toronto Maple Leafs. Oh god. The next two weeks are going to suck, aren’t they?
Monday afternoon, after Steve drank a liter of coffee and I chugged a Red Bull, we spoke somewhat coherently — for 90 minutes to be exact — about the Capitals and Leafs’ first-round playoff series, which begins Thursday at Verizon Center.
We also made a playoff bet that Steve’s really going to regret.
The RMNB Podcast is back after a long holiday hiatus and we’re here once again to talk about the important issues facing our favorite hockey team like Who will win the new season of The Bachelor?
Tuesday night, former Capital Andrew Gordon and I casted another pod and we kinda went off topic. Sure, we discussed the bonkers Caps-Penguins 8-7 (OT) game, what the Caps should do at the trade deadline, and if a hockey team can actually peak at the wrong time. We even answered a bunch of reader questions.
But we also talked about Gordo’s surprisingly epic trip to the World Darts Championship in London, England, which he called the “Greatest Sporting Championship.” I didn’t believe him either until he showed me the below video.
The RMNB Podcast is back after a three-week hiatus and we’re here to talk about all the important issues facing our new world like Why did Nintendo make so few NES Classics?
Wednesday night, literally 120 minutes before the Caps had their most emphatic victory of the season, former Capital Andrew Gordon and myself chatted about all the latest Caps gossip. But we also jumped head first into some other interesting topics like how angry do NHL coaches get behind the scenes (AKA do they really throw chairs?), how much money do NHL players actually make after taxes/agent fees/escrow, and what it takes to achieve maximum line chemistry.
And if you don’t care about any of that, we talk about President-elect Donald Trump. Hoooo boy.
