55 photos from RMNBX featuring you, us, and Pierre McGuire

Saturday afternoon, we welcomed literally the nicest people on earth to our Capitals watch party at the Iron Horse. It was an incredible time. We sold some exclusive merch. We gave out a lot of high fives and hugs. And then NBC’s Pierre McGuire showed up and things went next level.

RMNBX trended in Washington DC. CSN Mid-Atlantic’s Craig Laughlin gave us an awesome shoutout on live TV. Pierre, who was wearing a championship ring from his time in Pittsburgh, led a raucous Let’s! Go! Caps! chant. And the crowd cheered wildly as the Caps held on for the 3-2 victory.

Longtime RMNB reader, concert photographer, and just in general design extraordinaire, Cara Bahniuk, photographed the event for us. Her 55 brilliant photos are below.

Pierre McGuire came to #RMNBX and he was the life of the party

Saturday, 400 raucous Caps fans packed the downstairs basement of the Iron Horse for RMNB Party 10. But little did we know that a two-time Stanley Cup champion and Emmy-winning journalist would be randomly chilling upstairs.

NBC Sports’ Pierre McGuire, whom, sure, we’ve had our difference with in the past, came to the Iron Horse to grab a few drinks, catch the game, and check out the party.

After one of our readers tipped us off, Peter and I walked upstairs and introduced ourselves. We took a photo and posted it on Twitter. And then a steady stream of readers came up to meet Pierre. Like there was a giant line. He was literally the nicest person, taking photos, and talking hockey with anyone who greeted him.

But the best part came later.

Live from #RMNBX: Caps beat Habs 3-2

Live from #RMNBX at Iron Horse, here comes a halfhearted recap of the Caps win over the Montreal Canadiens.

Heyyy how about Jay Beagle, wrapping up a slick sequence from the bald-faced Daniel “Danny” Winnik. That same line surrendered a turnover that gave lycanthrope Alex Radulov a goal of his own. No worries, as Andre Burakovsky restored the lead with a lovely finish.

Nick Backstrom (update:sorry) cracked the screen for his 15th of the season in the third. Patches made it close for the Habs with a wristshot 8 minutes into the final frame.

Caps at Habs pregame: party party

It’s finally here. No, not the heavily-anticipated matchup of the Washington Capitals and Les Canadiens de Montreal (although that is indeed on the books.) RMNBX is today, so get your celly on over at Iron Horse.

The Habs are coming off Thursday night’s 3-1 loss to the Flyers and are leading the Atlantic Division. They’re without Brendan Gallagher but have a scorching top line, featuring none other than Alex Radulov. Don’t underestimate the Habs. They’re not a team that can simultaneously hide behind Carey Price and hang him out to dry; they’re genuinely good.

Puck drop at 1 PM on CSN-MA.

Team	Record	SA%	PDO	Power Play	Penalty Kill
Washington Capitals	34-11-6	52.7%	104.0	20.8%	83.9%
Montreal Canadiens	26-21-6	51.7%	102.0	23.2%	79.2%
